~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".

I know, I am too. I am glad I finally heard SOMETHING rather than the unknown... which is terrible. He said she was placed in RCU/FIT so, maybe they are in the same place or he doesn't know the term (the sailor that talked to my sister) and said she did fail (what she told my mom on the phone was the miscount) however, they aren't letting "them" run. Idk if that meant, they weren't letting them run that week, making them wait a week, no idea. I tried disecting the conversation but, because, it was through other people- I can't ask additional questions. She did say the day her BS is and I won't say the date but, it's AFTER 10/11. I was told by one person she will not attend a PIR at all because, it's after her original PIR date but, she gave us the 18th on the phone when we talked with her before. If we do not hear from her soon, I am calling the POA and trying to get any info possible. It's very confusing, I agree. I will update if we hear anything. Thank you for your concern...
Good Morning All !
Felicia,
Praying for your SR daughter to be fine and able to complete Battlestations and for clarity for you this week~~
Felicia: Now I'm more confused then ever. RCU? Is she injured? I thought that she just miscounted (or THEY did) on her laps and that is why she failed her run? This is so bizarre....I really have never heard anything like this. They wouldn't schedule her in BattleStations until she passes her PFA. And the rule has always been that if they don't pass their PFA before their own PIR date, they don't get a PIR date. Unless....she was injured...then she could be setback for that and get another PIR date. I can't wait for you to talk to her and get the whole story! You have peaked my curiosity and I know that you must be very frustrated!
Here's an update to anyone (who wanted to know) Another sailor saw my sr in church today and found out she did fail and was placed in rcu/fit however for some reason they aren't letting them run... She's scheduled for her BS after the 10/11 PIR. Which means, if they pass the rest of the stuff, she may be attending PIR 10/18 unless they send her straight to A school...idk.
THANK YOU all for everything.
Good Day!
