DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

~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"

MHD,
You're so welcome!! I know the scripture was God's reassurance to me daily. Glad they spoke to you (and your Sailor!) Here's a group you may want to join here. It's the Christian Chat group~~

Oh, that place with Taco Bell and Subway is otherwise known as Ricky Haven where the Sailors get to go after they have successfully completed Battlestations!!

Happy Veteran's Day!!
Thank you to all who have served, are about to serve, and are currently serving our United States in all our military branches~~

than the noise of many waters,
than the mighty waves of the sea."

Kate,
Thanks for the feedback! Which hotel did you stay at that was a little too far to be back and forth to RTC? We usually recommend the ones in Waukegan/Gurnee all around the SuperWalmart~~

Christie,
That's great! Pick up your Sailor at the Visitor's Center, which is where? Then drive to Gate 4 to check him/her out. This is also where you check the Sailors back in?

I'm glad you asked. PIR was amazing and inspiring. I would not have know anything to do this past weekend without all you valuable information and suggestions. I didn't find out about this site until after we purchased our tickets and therefore missed the Meet and Greet. We were going to be late, but our plane was delayed and we missed it completely. I was so looking forward to it. We stayed a little too far from the Base and it took us longer to get back and forth. We were able to spend Friday and Saturday with our son. Please keep informing parents and families all about BC. It really helps answer all our concerns. My son was surprised that I knew more information than he did. Thanks again for all your help.

PIR was amazing !! and so are you guys!! Thank goodness for all the advise and information you provided -- it helped alot!! We stayed at the Navy Lodge which I would highly recommend and took their shuttle to the PIR --- saved time having to wait in line to get into the RTC. Sarge's meet and greet was awesome and so much fun!! We flew into Milwaukee instead of Chicago and rented a car. No problems at all. At PIR I would sit in the top section and top row to be able to see everything -- better view :) We went to Lovell's for dinner and was really good - a little pricey but worth it. My son loved his steak. We took him into Chicago since he was staying at GL and had a blast. We picked him up at the visitor's center the first day -- kinda confusing but we finally figured it out and then the next day we were able to pick him up there again and then go together in the car to Gate 4 and check him out and back in. Some were not aware of this and walked back to their Sailor's place to sign him out-- and it was cold !!!
