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".

I believe there is a charge for the train parking, but think it is reasonable.  Sarge will have info on this at his MeetandGreet.

Tolls are on the interstates from Chicago/Milwaukee to GL.  There are ways to get to GL without going on these roads....GoogleMap and see the non-toll ways.  Otherwise, if driving your own car up, be sure to have LOTS of change, all types as the tolls are strange amounts.  If renting a car, suggestion would be to "rent" the I-Pass.  Worth the charge for this so you don't have to worry about it.

Karen, this day is like watching paint dry...or waiting for water to boil. Haha!
Comment by Karen on June 18, 2013 at 11:52am

Geez is this the longest day ever or what?

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on June 18, 2013 at 11:39am
What tolls? Is the parking at the train free I didn't think of that
Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on June 18, 2013 at 11:36am
I an going to make a really small one that says N4M on it as few of us know each others real names
Does anyone know, can one take knitting on a plane?
Comment by trags8 on June 18, 2013 at 10:25am

Thanks, ellen0502 - great to have the picture too! :) We were thinking about walking since it's not that far, but will they pass walk-ins through a checkpoint? And how far is it from there to the PIR hall?

So excited!

Comment by Anissia's Mommy Ship 02 Div 932 on June 18, 2013 at 10:13am

@Michelle- Thanks for that reminder!  I actually thought of that on my drive in to work this morning & meant to set as a reminder on my phone when I got to work, but of course I forgot! So thank you :)

Comment by Kim~Made it to the fleet! on June 18, 2013 at 10:12am
Ladies of 233 and 234, is the plan to wear name tags at PIR? Just so I know, I will have one on!
Comment by Kim~Made it to the fleet! on June 18, 2013 at 10:10am
Phone is fully charged and will be attached to me all day! Awaiting on the most important phone call in boot camp yet! Feeling excited, and very anxious today!
Comment by Michelle on June 18, 2013 at 10:09am

Morning!!! Don't forget to pack your SR some comfy clothes for hanging out in the hotel room. That was my mission last night. Tonight - finish getting everyone packed and ready. I guess I need to research these tolls that have been mentioned so we can be ready for that. My goal is to have everything done by Wednesday so I'm only a calm and excited Mommy for the trip - no stress :). Happy Tuesday!
