WELCOME to PIR 07/03/2013! PLEASE See the PAGES section for Informational Posts about BC and PIR. PAGES is underneath the Members Photos. PLEASE scroll down this page here to find the Comment Box to post a reply to the PIR GROUP.
~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".

MIMI1414, There is a link in the pages section, under the member icons on the right side of this page, that has a link to BC day by day.
Now, looking at your Srs division number and hearing that things aren't working out by day from what your SR says, I am guessing your SR is in a PUSH division. If it is a push division don't follow what the other divisions are doing and on what day, it will only confuse you more. Just post and say that's nice...
Ask you SR if they are a push division, if they are that will answer that. :) Ask what day and week it is in training, what they have done this week, and what they will be doing next week. Count your days from what you are told and then throw everything else out the window. LOL
If not a PUSH division you can post the day and week of training on here (not a problem) and we'll see if we can help you sort it out.
My son was in a PUSH, and for several weeks I was sooooo confused.

I am trying to follow what my SR says but the days don't work out. I understand that weekends don't count as days, so........ just a little (no a lot)

3 weeks and 6 days ladies! I can't believe our SRs are halfway through Boot Camp already. It is getting so real, and so very exciting. Letter writing is being kicked into overdrive, no slowing down until a week prior to PIR!

God bless you,
Seaman Apprentice Robert F. Kennedy,
Senator Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated today, June 5th, 1968, in Los Angeles Ambassador Hotel after claiming victory in California's Democratic presidential primary. Gunman Sirhan Bishara Sirhan was immediately arrested.
Robert F. Kennedy was in the U.S. Naval Reserve from 1943-1946, enlisting as a Seaman Apprentice.
Asking to be released from Officer training, he served a Seaman Apprentice onboard the USS Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., named for his Navy Lt. brother, a Naval Aviator who was KIA during a highly dangerous mission in the European Theater during WWII. Robert Kennedy joined the ship in January '46, and was honorably discharged in May that same year.
God bless you shipmate...

JoshuamomNV, No worries and no apologies necessary at all. It happens all the time, usually with the beginning of the group when everyone is learning and then again when everyone gets excited about Battlestations and PIR. We just watch and take care of it. :)

When trying to see if a family member of one of your recruit's friends is on here, you can use initials like ellen said and hometowns. That will narrow it down a bit, if you know that extra info. You can post that and ask that the family member friend request you so you can chat privately. It is ok to use the initials of first and last names....just no names please.

The N4Ms website does not allow the posting of last names here. No worries though it happens.
The RDCs sometimes do read these pages and we want you as well as your SR to remain incognito as much as possible. :)
