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"

2navykids: They are allowed to update their lists about a week before PIR. You won't get a copy of it, but it will be the one they use at the gate.
Could be, whatever28. Not sure if there are only certain days, by the way, that they remove wisdom teeth. Usually they are in SIQ for a couple of days, so maybe he was out by Wed? Well, for whatever reason, I'm glad that he got to make a couple of calls!

Ty diannep I knew before he left that that would probably be done. Do you think since he has that procedure done was why he was able to have a short call to his girlfriend on Wed and a longer one on Thursday
She said he sounded so down just worried the 2 days of inactivity and the pain meds did that.
She also said he said he would call me Sat(no call) hoping today.
Guess no news is good news

Does anyone know for sure if they are allowed to change guest if my SR put a wrong person down..I have wrote him told him too but he didn't know if be allowed...if that was the official...
-

whatever: It is a very common procedure up in GL. They give them a couple of days of SIQ and pain meds....so try not to worry! It probably is the most common procedure done in Bootcamp.

Does anyone know much about the process of the SR's getting there wisdom teeth out usually they do it on a Friday and are SIQ for 2 days but my SR's girlfriend got a call from him Wed and his were removed on Monday
Do they give them pain meds after?

I got a message from someone about ribbons to wear for the meet and greet? PIR? I don't know what, when, or where the meet and greet is. Is this some thing we should be going to? Should we get a ribbon to wear? We were just planning on being at the PIR and spending the rest of the day with our daughter. Is there anything else we should know about?
