N4M's Community Guidelines

OPSEC.

~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".

Wow. I do not like that. I understand 18 is an adult, but some aren't even at an adult mind set yet !! Thank you for the information..
Comment by diannep on July 29, 2013 at 1:29pm

No, they don't, Lynn.  They just do it.  Family gets no info on the SRs unless a SR signs a waiver to allow that---and that may only be allowed in case of possible discharge.  You will find that to be the case if you ever call the Public Relations Office and ask for specific info on your SR---they cannot give out specifics.  They consider your SRs "adults" and keep it between the Navy and them. 

Some in past groups have even been hospitalized while at bootcamp and the family is usually not notified (but many times the SR will call home from the hospital).  It is all considered routine for the Navy...and many who are hospitalized don't even get setback in their PIR date.  They just make up the training when they get back.

Comment by Lynn on July 29, 2013 at 1:24pm
So, when they take there wisdom teeth out, do they notify the SR parents? I know they are 18 now, but there could be a reason why it has not been taken out prior to enlisting.
Comment by diannep on July 29, 2013 at 1:21pm

grateful:  Lala's sailor daughter was at bootcamp a few years back....so is long now healed from her wisdom teeth extraction!   But she is the one who just had a precious baby girl last week! 

So glad your SR is healing well!  Wisdom teeth extraction is very common in bootcamp.  If they think there is any chance that they may cause a problem when deployed, they will go ahead and take them now.

Comment by grateful-Ship13Div333 on July 29, 2013 at 1:01pm

Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons:  My son had his wisdom teeth removed this past week too!!  He's healing well and I'm hoping your daughter is too... This mama had no idea this would be included in the boot camp package.   LOL  I'm relieved to know he is well and hope your daughter is healing well too.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 29, 2013 at 8:29am

Yes it is so sad when they tell families to expect the call and it doesn't come in. The do often get taken away or changed. It is best to have your phone on you all the time 24/7 My daughter missed a call on a Friday because she was having her wisdom teeth pulled. The RDC finally let her make up the call on Sunday evening. It was 9:30 my time on the east coast and it wasn't from an 847 area code. She got to make the call from her chief's office and she said there was a bowl of candy on his desk and she wanted to have a piece soooo bad lol. But she didn't haha

Hello! I am late to the party! LOL

Another "Veteran" Mom checking in!

My Sailor PIR’d in 05/2011. He is a Seabee Reservist. I have been an AF (Security Forces) Reservist wife for 28 + years…I know …not Navy…but I am somewhat familiar with military life! We have been through two Deployments. Our son enlisted while Hubby was in Iraq. This site was a Godsend and helped me get through not only our sons BC experience but my husbands and my separation for 6 months.

I am a “veteran” mom on the PIR groups mostly. I have been on them now for over a year and we have 7-8 PIR groups running at the same time.

Comment by CatMom509 on July 29, 2013 at 1:57am

bchis,

It's most likely 7:30 am - 8:30 am since they make calls between  8:00 am to 8:00 pm Great Lakes time, which is one hour after your east coast time.  Keep in mind that if anyone in the division messes up, this call can be taken away~~
