~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".

Divisions are filled numerically and start with 001, 801 and 901 at the beginning of the Navy fiscal year (Oct 1st), and continue through the end of the fiscal year (Sept 30th).
Training groups (TG) are numbered according to fiscal week they start in. So this TG started in the 40th week of the fiscal year.
Regular divisions are the divisions that start with 001 and are filled as the recruits arrive. This group has filled the 299- 308 divisions (maybe more) of this fiscal year.
The 800 divisions (SpecOps) are also filled numerically, but those recruits have "dates" set for arrival at RTC, so not every TG (training group) has an 800 division. This TG started the 40th week of the fiscal year, there have been 17 SpecOps divisions so far this fiscal year (don't know yet if this group has one).
The 900 divisions are filled a little differently, but still numerical. There is generally a 900 division for every TG, and they are numbered according to TG. If there is not a 900 division in a TG the next TG to have a 900 division will have two. They will be numbered 9** (the previous weeks TG number) and the current TG number. This group has a 900 division so it is division 940 (TG 40), if there was not one last week there would be two 939 and 940. When there is a week without a TG the 900 division skips that number. Last year there was no TG 19 so no division 919.
When your recruit arrived they were housed in the Pearl Harbor then moved to another ship for training. Ships are basically filled as compartments open for regular divisions. The 800 divisions are always housed in Ship 4, regular division can also be in Ship 4, and ship 4 is also used for RCU (recruit convalescent unit) those recuperating from injuries who will be returning to a TG to finish training. The 900 divisions are in Ship 02, and Ship 5 is where those being separated are housed until they go home.
Brother divisions are in the same ship. Regular divisions always have a brother division, 800 and 900 divisions only have a brother division if there are two of them in a TG.

Hi!
Welcome to Navy for Moms!!
My Sailor Daughter's PIR was just this March 2013. She is currently studying IT (Information Technician) at her A school at Corrry Station in Pensacola, Florida. I primarily provide scriptural encouragement for the PIR groups, Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and a couple of the other groups that I am a member of. I'll also help out with anything that I am familiar with--all kinds of tidbits I learned during my daughter's Boot Camp experience~~ This site really made the time go much faster. I'm so thankful that my Sailor daughter sent me the link for this awesome group of friends when she enlisted!! Count 9 Fridays and before you know it, you'll be seeing your baby again at PIR!! Here we go!!!

suzyphx...my son was on ship 13 also when he was there and he was in 306 but I do believe as far as the ship is concerned, they hold/train both divisions there, then split for PIR etc. At least that's how I remember it.
