for
N4M's Community Guidelines and OPSEC.

~OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance.

~N4M’s also has Community Guidelines just like any other social media.

~Please take the time to read the OPSEC and N4M’s Community Guidelines.

~A quick note here, from the N4M’s CG’s:

• Don’t Jeopardize the Safety of Our Sailors: Remember OPSEC (Operational Security) (Don’t Sink Ships With Loose Lips) This site and all content posted on it are viewable to everyone on the Internet. This doesn’t mean you can’t share things about your Sailor – but too many details can put Sailors in harm’s way. The following are examples of red flags and should not be shared within this community either by posting or sending via a Group message:

• Sailors’ last names. This includes your username if you share the same last name as your son or daughter.

Some Suggestions:

~If your last name is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended for you to use in your username for your own personal security. This is your option. It is also not a good idea to use an email address as your username for personal security reasons.

~First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember, everyone can see it and someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. Again, your option

~It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

To Lala -  So sorry to hear about your friend.  It is a terrible disease, my prayers are with your friend and her family. 

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 5, 2013 at 7:46pm

I hope everyone had a good weekend :) Sorry I was MIA, My bestfriend/sister-in-law is battling breast cancer and just had a double mastectomy last Monday. The tests from the lymph nodes were good :) Now just waiting to hear when she will start chemo. My niece is raising money and walking in Relay for Life this coming Friday night so I have been making stickers for her to sell to raise more money and ribbons for all 45 people on Team Deb to wear. Please keep her and and all the others who are fighting this terrible disease in your thoughts and prayers. We really appreciate it :)

Thanks.  That helps.

The Quarterdeck is the Main hub of the "Ships" at RTC. It will be the first place you encounter as you enter the ships main entrance I believe. I'm not sure what all their duties are on that assignment, but I am sure that they are responsible for the comings and goings of personnel.
Here is the Wikipedia history of the term Quarterdeck:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarterdeck

I think I have a picture of one of the ships (actually Craig does, so I would be stealing it from him :-)). I'll try to find it. On phone right now, so limited.
Comment by FLA NavyMom1501 on May 5, 2013 at 7:18pm

Anyone in DIV 931 hear of Quarter deck in relation to their responsibilities at PIR?

Comment by Mari on May 5, 2013 at 7:13pm

My SR call me today he sounded good, he also said he is having a test on Tuesday, he had 4 of his wisdom teeth pull, but he is feeling better. so happy I got to talk to him. hope that all of the moms that didn't get a call will get one soon. God Bless you all.

Comment by diannep on May 5, 2013 at 7:09pm

joyce0822:  So he never got to send the form letter?  I understand that he can request a form letter from his RDC and send it to you.  There is a password in it that you will need in order to get the gate pass for PIR (if you drive onto the base, you need this).  So be sure to write him and ask him.  If for some reason he can't send the letter, at least ask him to mail you the password.

Congrats on the calls, and so sorry for the ones who missed them... :-( ....or the ones who didn't get them yet.  Hoping more calls will come soon !

Comment by joyce0822 on May 5, 2013 at 6:31pm

@debsproud. My SR is in Div 931 ship 2 He had told me that the reason he didn't call last week is that he was on watch duty. And I haven't received my form letter was because he was sick when they had the seminar to send those out. SO remember when you don't get mail or a call, there is a very good reason. Except when your phone doesn't ring.. My heart breaks for auhi00!

Comment by FLA NavyMom1501 on May 5, 2013 at 6:03pm

To auhi00 -

I'm sorry you didn't hear from your SR yet.  He knows you're thinking about him. Maybe sometime this week he'll get to call. 

Comment by auhi00 on May 5, 2013 at 5:54pm
Congrats to the those in div 931 that got your calls. My phone not ringing so sucks. I don't care about me . I just don't want him thinking I'm not there for him. He is such a talker I know he was upset he could not tell me what he has been doing. That is the hard part. I haven't been parted from my phone for days, so I would not miss it and this happens. We've had so much rain in Atlanta all weekend maybe that is causing it but the timing is the worst.
