~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"

williewish: What an honor for those sailors! Thanks for sharing that.
And, thank you for updating us on whether the RDCs were at the MeetandGreet. I didn't think they would be there....they never have been before. But I don't doubt that some of them told the SRs that they would be! Misinformation happens alot! :-) Congrats to your sailor and all of the others!
Good Morning!

Williewish I agree with you yesterday at the airport was an emotional day in more ways than 1. I felt so honored and proud to be able to be there to experience that with all the new sailors and families. If I could do it all over again I most definitely would. My son said the exact same thing about the RDC's in div. 308 he will never forget them.

We just arrived home from, one of the best weekends of my life. There are no words to describe it. I would love to relive the P.I.R. all over again. To top off the weekend, if any of you are on the Navy Facebook page for our Divisions, you might have seen my post from Midway yesterday. What a proud moment for our Sailors and a real tear jerker for everyone else. Our Sailors were asked to greet and salute a " Honor Flight" that was stopping at Midway. The WWII vets were crying, everyone waiting for their flights was cheering, clapping and crying, I was crying....what an experience!Spending those hours at the airport with my son were so wonderful!
He is now at his next phase down in Pensacola. They all made it down there safe and sound might I say, with 80 degree weather. :) Mom might have to go and visit sooner than later with our temps.
Dianne, thank you again for everything. I just wanted to mention that as far as I know, the RDC's were NOT at the MeetandGreet. Not sure why they thought that they would be there. The MeetandGreet was a BLAST! Everyone should go to that if they have a chance.
Not sure how often the RDC's look at these messages but, they did a great job with Div 308. My son said that he would remember them forever!!
Onto Navy for Mom's in Pensacola.
Good luck to all!

Hey all...hope i'm not posting this too late but is there anyone with an AO rating from this group? I have an official AO Navy cap I would love to send to you!
-
-
ambermc,
The Rating MU (M___________ U__________) is your Sailor's job title. Don't get it mixed up with his Rate, which is his pay rate of E-1, E-2, E-3, etc...
That is a cool job to be in a Navy Jazz band! Didn't even know that existed!
So glad you made it to PIR!! Savor your time with your Sailor!!
