~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"

Yep, what diannep described is called RAP Duty~~
My Sailor daughter also did it and got 5 of her 14 days on leave credited back to her when she reported to her first duty station~~ She spoke at a high school career orientation and many were curious to talk to a female in the Navy!! Then she did some things around the recruiter's office a couple of other days...

Another point of interest: If they get in touch with their recruiter and work in the recruiter's office for some days during their Leave after A School, those days will not count against their accumulated Leave. When my son was in DEP, a guy home on Leave after A School came and spoke to his training group. So that day, that sailor was able to save that Leave Day. It really is worth it for the sailors to take advantage of this. All they need to do is get in touch with their recruiter to get details.

Becca: My son was home after A School for about 8 days. They have to use their "Leave" days so it is up to them how many they use. They accrue these each month....2,5 a month. Some may want to save some of their Leave time for later....and of course it will depend on their "report to duty station" date as well. The Navy always "trumps" everything else depending on their needs!
They must "phase up" at A School before they can leave the base. This takes 2-3 weeks. They usually are not allowed overnights for a good while....my son's A School was so short, they never got to phase up to that. Families can visit them on base if they are not able to leave base yet. If any family lives close by their A School, they may be able to visit their homes once they phase up, if within the radius they are allowed to travel.
And, yes, they would have to be back at a specific time at night. Each base may be a little different. Your new sailor will go through INDOC when he/she arrives at A School and will learn about all of this then.

I have a question..... How much time do they get to be home after A school? And, what are weekends like in A school? Like how much time do they get to have away from school and do they have to be back at a specific time each night?
