N4M's Community Guidelines and OPSEC.

~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"

You need to be a member of ALUMNI OF PIR 11/06/2015 TG 52 - 10 Divisions (369-376, 820 and 952) to add comments!

Comment by ellen0502 on September 24, 2015 at 2:06pm: PUSH divisions are created when those recruits sit in p hold for longer than "normal". There can be a number of reasons that this happens, but what seems to be the usual problem is waiting on enough females to arrive and complete an integrated division (yes, something that is their fault. haha)No worries they will still get it all done in the time allotted, and have PIR on the expected day.

For those of you with recruits in a PUSH division, your recruits might not notice anything other than more stuff to do in less time, but you on the outside watching may be very confused. LOL

Don't count on following the day by day schedule for your recruits, it just isn't happening. What your recruits do on week 3 day 2, might be what other divisions do on week 3 day 4.

Count the training days the same, ask your recruit what they have done that week, but don't worry if it isn't the same as the other divisions. It will only confuse you and give you stress that is not needed. :)

Mu son was put in a TG the week before expected, was in p hold for sixteen (calendar) days, while waiting for 60 (yes 60) females to arrive. His division and brother division cruised right along, and all was well!

Comment by Lisa on September 24, 2015 at 1:39pm: Sorry push division

Comment by Lisa on September 24, 2015 at 1:38pm: Jessiesmom... My daughter told me she was in a PDF division also, but that her PIR was still 11/6. She said they just mostly sat around for the first week and didn't actually start boot camp yet.

Comment by jessiesmom on September 24, 2015 at 1:06pm: Just got 2 letters from my daughter who is in ship 12, division 372! She sounds great! She says that her division is a push division so they will be graduating one week earlier than anticipated. I've already booked our flights and hotel for the Nov. 6th PIR. Will their ceremony still be the same day even though their a push division?

Comment by diannep on September 24, 2015 at 7:44am: Lisa; Hmmm.....interesting since she can purchase that in the NEX with her supply card. If she said to send it, said it was ok, hopefully she checked that out with her RDCs....so you could send it. Just label the outside as to what it is so there are no surprises.

Comment by diannep on September 24, 2015 at 7:43am: juju: True. But all need to know that they are escorted into the Chapel--they cannot walk there by themselves....they must stay in the Chapel during the entire ceremony, even if the Livestream has a glitch and doesn't work (happens sometimes), there is no food/drink allowed in there (it is allowed in PIR Hall), and children under 18 must have an adult with them. They will also be escorted out of the Chapel and back to the Visitors Center to meet up with family members after PIR. No one should think that they have "a chance" for getting into PIR Hall. That will not happen! RTC asks that extras stay off base and watch the Livestream at their hotels (it is shown in public areas in many hotels) but for those who show up, they will try to accommodate them in the Chapel.

Good Morning All !

Comment by juju1010 on September 24, 2015 at 5:42am: Has anyone heard that the family and friends that are not on the list for PIR can watch the ceremony in the Chapel next to the hall? My daughter mentioned it in her letter but I can't find anywhere to confirm this. I was just going to have them stay at the Navy Lodge to watch via the live stream.

Comment by mommacnavy on September 24, 2015 at 1:11am: John'sMom my son is Ship 06 Div 369 also :)

Comment by Lisa on September 24, 2015 at 1:05am: So I have a question.... I talk to my daughter the other day on the phone and she wants me to send her shampoo and conditioner. I asked her if it was okay for her to receive it and she said it was. Does anyone know if it's OK to send it?

Comment by Nikki92 on September 24, 2015 at 12:35am: Nen's Mom, thank you! It helps give me peace of mind whenever someone shares their SR's perspective on things.
