~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"

Kathy, depending on how long they think it will take to heal they may give him that option. However, if he really wants to be in the navy I would advice that he stays there to heal. There are very few who come home to heal who actually go back to boot camp again. There are so many who are trying to join the Navy they can be very picky about who they allow to join and there is no need for them to take someone who didn't stick it out the first time. So if you know he really wants to be a sailor I would encourage him to stick it out and heal there and finish his training. That's just my opinion based on what I have seen happen over the last 4 years.

Hi everyone. I have a question. My SR called today, on an earned phone call. He informed me that he's got severe tendinitis in one knee, and a stress fracture on the opposite shin. He's been on crutches and light duty for the past week, and goes back to medical on monday. He says the pain is still as intense as it was before the crutches. He said he was going to talk to the Dr about coming home to heal. What are the chances of him being sent home?

Scorpiochick: No, once you are on the guest list, you don't have to do anything but show up! The password you received is just to get a gate pass 10 days before PIR online so that you can drive onto the base (if you don't want to take a shuttle). So I assume you are not staying in a hotel? Just driving up for the day? Because I know of some hotels that allow dogs.

CINDY: Sorry, no extras allowed into PIR Hall. If one of your extras is a small child, an elderly person or a disabled person...one who may need to be near you....it is possible that they can get into the Chapel to watch the PIR Livestream, but defintely they will not be allowed into PIR Hall. Sorry about that!

Just a couple questions. 1) do you have to do anything once your son has added you to the graduation list and you have the password? Like a confirmation? Also we are going to have to bring our dog with us, anyone know of a place that does boarding for a day Thanks for all advice =)

I was looking into: SHIP/DIVISIONS.. How it works. To the right in this page. I found out the PIR 9/05/2014 DIV 943 (Sticks) will perform during the 8/22 and 08/29 PIR. When you get to the page (How It Works) look for SHIP 4 (800 and 900 division for more information) click on it and it will take you to another page, go to the bottom of this page "Here are the current 900 divisions"
