~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"

This morning, I was able to order a DVD of the PIR, for $29. Call the NEX photo lab at 847-578-6205. They took credit card payment over the phone, and said I should receive it in 6-8 weeks. The lab is open M-F, 7:30-4 central time. I'd recommend calling as soon as possible; before she took my order, she checked to see if they had any left. Good luck!
Any info on the PIR 11/13/15 video. Still not posted online?
I am also searching for the video of Nov 13 PIR. very disappointed that we cannot share this experience with family. If anyone knows where I can get it, I would greatly appreciate you sharing. Thanks.
Hi, I know they usually post the video of the previous week's PIR, but I haven't seen one posted for 11/13/15 yet. Has anyone else seen one posted? I had several family members who weren't able to view the livestream and would really like to see our recruit's PIR.
Leaving this group now. Blessings to your sailors!
Ladies, I will notify RTC with this new info. I will ask them to contact the GM of Navy Lodge to get specifics. They want to make sure this doesn't happen again. Thanks for the info!
Lisa - we spoke to the GM of the Navy Lodge who was pretty upset about it. It was one specific person in charge of my sailor's shift that would not allow them to go to the Lodge. The Lodge is the safest place, from our point of view, but while the GM said it was okay, my sailor wouldn't disobey the orders given. For the others who DID get to go, I hear they had a great time!
