~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"

Thought all you PNM's would appreciate this. i am the biggest cry baby, but God has taught me to be strong and courageous. My son knows he's my son first and then he's my sailor! God bless you and yours. Xoxo
Gals,
The Navy just transforms your SRs into better versions of themselves, but who they are as to their likes and all remain the same--they are still your babies!!
Hello All!!
"How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God!
How vast in the sum of them! If I would count
them, they are more than the sand."
Psalm 139:17
Yes, true. They move over there from RTC shortly after PIR and it takes a few hours to finish the move. Your sailor will then borrow a cellphone from an "existing" student there...or....use a phonecard to call from a pay phone. Once you pick up your sailor at that base, he/she will have Liberty until about 9 or 10 that night....and can return to that base with personal items. He/she will also have Daytime Liberty on Sat. and Sun.
My SR is staying in GL so I heard I will not be able to see them till about 2pm. Is that true??
None of the SRs will know their flight times yet....flights are usually booked shortly before PIR.
llamotte: You should have from about 11 or 11:30 after PIR until about 8 or 9 that night with your new sailor if flying out. Remember, many of them are very tired and may just like to take a long shower (alone, without shipmates!), get into some comfy clothes that you bring up for them (they cannot leave the rooms in these clothes, must be in uniform outside of the room at all times), and catch up on their cells/laptops (again, that you bring them) with friends! So keep your schedule "loose" just in case!
@llamotte yes our plan was to go to the Cubs game on Fri. with our SR, game starts at 3p; thats what he really wants to do. Im really bummed out now because now that i learned about the traffic and the waiting it just threw a wrench in everything.should i or shoulnt i get tickets. You said your daughter is off to FL b4 your game? sounds like she knows what time her flights leaving? My son's flying out Sat also but doesnt know what time. All this not knowing makes it difficult to make plans. What to do? I just want to make it special for him since we'll be celebrating his bday as well.
@ moonwillow, Im with you on excited. Thats all I can think about as well.Just finished his room yesterday, been working on it since he left to BC . Cant wait till he'll can come home. God bless our son's and daughters and their amazing mom's!
I am very excited too. It is hard to concentrate on anything else. My SR wants to go see a move. He is a HUGE animation and SciFi geek and wants to see How to Train to Train Your Dragon 2 or Godzilla...lol Glad to see BC has not changed his true personality. :D
