~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"

Just a heads up.....a lady in the 10/10 PIR group posted that sailors were not allowed to visit their family's rooms at Navy Lodge this past weekend....her explanation was that there was a big Ball on Friday night and the "big brass" was staying there, so the new sailors were not allowed on the premises---as told to them by their RDCs. I understand that some violated this and visited family in their rooms anyway. Last Fall, "rumors" were circulating that RDCs were telling the SRs that they were not allowed on Navy Lodge property during PIR weekend. I checked with RTC Public Affairs and was told this was not true and was asked for division numbers so they could correct it with those RDCs. Since then, on and off, we get a post where a SR told his family that they cannot visit them there. But we have never heard of an issue....until the post by this lady today.
I have emailed RTC Public Affairs to see what the deal is. For any staying at Navy Lodge this weekend, I'm not sure if you want to make reservations at another hotel....just in case this turns out to be true and your sailor was looking forward to a nice long hot shower in your room and a place to rest. Or, please feel free to call RTC Public Affairs yourself 847 688 2405 or email rtc.pao@navy.mil if you may be affected by this. If it is true that sailors are visiting rooms anyway, even though ordered not to, I don't feel they should be put in the position of disobeying an order.
Will post any response I get from Public Affairs and for those of you who may contact them yourselves, please post any answers you get.

I pray for those recruits and families too. I would feel the same until I heard from my recruit.

I pray that's the case, Manchu! I'll relax when I get the call.

I just talked to my recruit and asked if he knew about the those that needed to run and he said that he knew from his division 325 they passed and would do BS with another division. So I hope this helps.

Thanks for the encouragement for those that need the run. I heard they won't call to say they made the run, only the I'm a Sailor call. We decided last night that we are flying up there on Thursday morning whether or not we have the call because she could do BS on Thursday night.
