DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

~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".

molfetta, my son arrived on 6/13 but his PIR date is 8/16. We had kind of thought it would be 8/9 so I'm not sure why it was pushed back a week but for some reason I guess it was. Someone said that if they don't have enough to make a whole division sometimes they hold them until they do so maybe that is what happened with my son.

Processing Days and "down" days after BattleStations count as bootcamp days, but not training days. There are only 6 weeks of actual training days...M-F, weekends/holidays they are on "hold." Your SR will tell you that they are on, for instance, 1-4 in a letter (hopefully he/she dated the letter!). That means training week 1/day 4. You can keep up with their training that way. They usually do BattleStations (their final test) on 6-5 (training week 6/day 5). Capping ceremony after that....they are then sailors! :-)

Hello ladies, I'm Betsy and another "veteran" mom on here. My youngest son (out of our 5 children) is a CTT who graduated from boot camp in Dec. of 2010. He is currently attached to the USS John C. Stennis, CVN 74 aircraft carrier which is based in Bremerton, WA. He just returned from an 8 month deployment in May and thankfully their ship is now in dry dock for the next 14 months. I also have a future son in law who was an ET on a sub in Hawaii. He left the Navy after 6 years last summer, but is now considering going back in, so who knows.where that will take my daughter again? :)
keefa, they receive their shots during their Processing days, but other medical needs, such as teeth removal, are taken care of during their actual training days. They are usually only put in SIQ and/or light duty for a day or two and it normally doesn't affect their training at all.

I am sure one of the veteran moms would know .Curious if they have had their shots and
and other medical needs taken care of
-
-
I would like to know that also, Keefa. Do the P days count towards the eight weeks or is it 9 weeks with the P days?
