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"

kitkat:  Here is the description for Starboard Watch:

  1. The Starboard Watch Section Leader (SWSL) shall serve as the division's watchbill coordinator. Watchbills will be prepared and subsequently submitted to the RDCs via the RCPO.

The flag carriers at PIR are called "sticks".  That is separate from the recruit leadership positions.

Comment by kitkat508 on June 20, 2015 at 8:24pm

Hey everyone! Just wondering if anyone could answer this for me-if a recruit has the job of starboard watch, do they carry a flag? Thanks so much!

For those attending PIR, do you have a military member in your group who will be dressed in military uniform?  If so, there is a chance that you and your military member may be offered seating in the VIP section of the bleachers.  This is by invitation only once you arrive at PIR Hall.  The catch is this:  They want the group to look sharp and therefore will eliminate any families if a member is in jeans, dressed casually, etc.  They are looking for sharp dressers and especially those in military uniform. 

Just a heads up that if you want to be considered for the VIP section of seating, consider dressing for PIR in "sharp" form!  It is not only families with a military member in uniform that they are looking for....because they like for this section to be "full", they may also select families dressed sharply, but who don't have a military member with them.  We understand that there is good viewing from these seats....so consider this when you decide what to wear for PIR!
