~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 sent a email asking about that as I am in the same boat. The person/persons whose car you are borrowing would need to get a notorized letter stating you have permission to drive the car and what dates the letter is valid.
JerseyPeach, Glad it sorted itself out . The website seems to have some gliches once and a while, I don't know if it the server NING, or the way the site is set up.
There are times I go to post something and it says I exceed the number of characters (4000) and I have only post about 60. /shrug Just glad it is solved for you.
Ginnysue, There shouldn't be a problem with the borrowed car as long as you have proof of insurance and registration.
Ok now it finally went through.......took three days.
I have a comment box.......but when I hit 'add comment' an error page comes up and directs me back to the home page....not even group page.
chi'sMom: Yes, there are bathroom facilities in PIR Hall....several, I believe. The walk from the gate to PIR Hall is about 1/4 mile but there will be sailors posted around with wheelchairs if your mom is more comfortable "taking a ride" into PIR Hall! They will be happy to accommodate her! They will wheel her back out too if she likes!
Good morning everyone, I had some help from a navy mom in another group who told me how to get rid of the popups and it seems to be working for now :) YAY, Navy Mom friends are da bomb!!!!
JerseyPeach, I don't know why you can't post in the division discussion, there is nothing on the "website" that would prevent you from posting. I see that you have previously posted in the division discussion group, so not being able to post is something that has just started? I am racking my brain on this one.
Do you not get the comment box in the discussion group?
Good Morning!
"Let the beauty of the Lord
Our God be upon us."

Does anyone have the exact address of the RTC gate for the people who plan on driving to PIR? Thanks~~
