for
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 your 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".

Someone posted the telephone number to order the PIR video, but I can't find it and want to order one...does anyone have it! Thanks!!!
Comment by deniseMatt'smom on December 26, 2012 at 6:32pm
Because we had Sarge pick us up from the airport the ride to the PIR was free from him, I wanted to be picked up about 6:45 but had to wait a little bit longer for him, but even though we had to wait in quite a long line when we got there we got a perfect seat in the balcony....exactly what we wanted...
Comment by robinbird1 on December 26, 2012 at 1:31pm

Diannep.  Yeh- they were GREAT!  They kept running until everyone was at PIR and came back from PIR.  They came back to the base at LEAST 2 times to pick everyone up..  I had called while at the NEX to make sure they were coming back because we missed the first one...  

Comment by diannep on December 26, 2012 at 1:04pm

robinbird:  Thanks for the Ramada info.  We had been told they had their own free shuttle, but I didn't know how many runs they made.  Thanks!

Comment by robinbird1 on December 26, 2012 at 11:59am

HI Linda Rae!  Thanks sooo much!  I will check it out.  My son does not seem to be as worried about getting to the base as I am :-) It's a Mom thing!!!  :-)  

Comment by Linda Rae on December 26, 2012 at 11:38am

robinbird1 - My son is going to Corry Station, FL for A School.  I joined N4Ms goup "Sailors In Pensacola, FL For A School....Corry Station too!!" and they have a discussion about how to get from the airport to Pensacola.  In essense, they go to the USO counter and they'll either get someone from the base to come get them or a cab will cost abou $25. 

Comment by robinbird1 on December 26, 2012 at 11:00am

Question- anyone's sailors going to Pensacola??? Trying to figure out how to get mine from Pensacola airport to base.........

Comment by robinbird1 on December 26, 2012 at 11:00am

We stayed at the Ramada in Waukegan and they did NOT charge for their shuttle to/from PIR.  AND, they ran 2 vehicles, 3 times back and forth to and from PIR because there were sooo many people.  They were awesome!!!   Made sure that everyone got there and got back with their sailors. The stay at the Ramada was GREAT!  HIGHLY recommend.

Comment by bclmomct on December 26, 2012 at 10:03am

My sailor is going to Goose Creek, but the cab driver was just giving us a heads up to pass along to others.  Hopefully Goose Creek will have someone like Sarge. 

Comment by diannep on December 26, 2012 at 9:44am

Thanks for the posts, ladies.  I figured that Springhill, Courtyard, and Residence would all be the same charge, whatever it was.  They are all Marriotts---so if they are paying part of the fare, they would be paying the same rates, I would think.  Hope to hear from some more on here from other hotels to see if there was a larger charge. 

Thanks for posting!
