~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"

LoriM: This is the first negative we have ever heard happening with Navy Lodge. We always recommend them first to people on here because they are affordable, nice, close to the base, etc. It sounds isolated to me too, and I think the mom who posted the negative outcome there may have received bad info.....yes, maybe limited to a particular sailor, but how in the world could RTC enforce anything if not at Navy Lodge? Not sure, but we will continue to recommend Navy Lodge to the people on here .... unless more negativity comes through. I just know that so many of the sailors look forward to that shower/rest/down time in their family's hotel room and it would be a shame for any to be denied that.
Leaving this group now.....blessings to your sailors in their Navy futures!

Good Morning all,,, how are your Sailors doing? Mine is having the time of her life. She is in the place in her career she has wanted for a very long time...She is skyping with us and showing us around her room. Just so happy for her. My only issue is there is a sailor being separated,,, it is her roommate!!!!! For Failure to Adjust,,, really through boot you did not adjust?? Why are they allowed to be with Sailors,, they should be in a medical hold,, for many reasons,,,but NOT with new Sailors that are excited to start their careers and now they have to listen to Debbie Downer for their duration at A school because roommate said they told her this separation could take 3 months to a year!!!!! Really my Sailor has to deal with this???

It might be division 948 involved, but the mom that started this investigation has not been back on since she made her comment to me...
Really hope it was an isolated situation combined with the special event and no more issues will come up for future PIR groups~~

diannep,,, this seems like something personal with a sailor... all the parents in the Navy Lodge last weekend, were all happy,, there were no scenes,, no issues that any of us who stayed there heard... I think the Division of this Sailor should be asked not the hotel... Sad that this, if this was an issue was not handled privately instead of letting the future parents having anxiety for no reason...

Yorkiefan/Heidic4: Thanks so much for the info on Navy Lodge. So confusing! There are some concerned moms in the 10/17 group now who are staying there. One called Navy Lodge and they said no restrictions on sailors visiting rooms....yet another lady posted that a division (or 2) were not allowed into Navy Lodge last weekend. Sounds like there are more posts in favor of no problem at Navy Lodge so hope goes well for this week's group there.

We stayed at Navy Lodge as well and did not have an issue. My sailor was there throughout the weekend (Fri-Sun) no chit was required for him. It was an awesome stay:) We are very pleased with all the help they sent our way from directions to where to go to eat to train schedules to who delivered to the hotel. My sailor did mention that they were keeping an eye on the Lodge due to fratenization amongst sailors.

Diannep my Sailor had no problem going to Navy Lodge. He also did not have a chit to be there, neither did any of the other Sailors that I spoke with their families. He also did not have to stop at the front desk. He came to our hotel several times (we were in and out on Friday) He did fly out on Saturday

Here's is RTC's answer on my Navy Lodge question.
RTC PAO
ToMeToday at 9:35 AMMs. Payne,
The policy is below:
"Students are prohibited from entering Bldg 30 (Boorda Hall), Bldg 62 (Navy Gateway Inns and Suites, the 400 complex(with the exception of BEQ 439) and on-base housing Forest City Housing unless you are listed as a resident.
During graduation weekend if a Sailor has family staying in the Navy Lodge they will route a special request chit to the OIC to deviate from the liberty policy.
During graduation weekend if a Sailor has family staying in the Gateway Inns and Suites they will route a special request chit to the OIC to be able to enter and meet the family at their room."
