~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"

AwaitingMySailor, Is your friend Navy or Marine? I know that Marines get leave 10 days leave after BC before SOI. Perhaps they are having an increase in wait before SOI. Please let us know if you find out more information.
Like diannep and MonkeyBoysMom said, I would certainly not count on your Sailor having leave after BC.

And most of them do come home on leave after A-school for about 10 days. But sometimes these choose to say that leave and go on to their next duty base or C-school and sometimes they are needed at their next place and they have to wait a while for leave.
-

Even if they are on hold once they get to A-school and they are waiting on classes to begin they still phase go through the phase up process and will do that pretty quickly in most cases. After about a week they will get liberty and be allowed off base during the day on weekends, each phase gives them a little more liberty time when they are not on watch or duty. They do find them jobs to do while waiting to class up so they are not just sitting there waiting.

Happy Easter

AwaitingMySailor, hang in there. I know this is all a learning experience and there is so much info from so many sources. Anytime you have questions let us know. We usually have pretty accurate info and we update it as things change. My Sailors got married soon after my daughter got out of boot camp. She was in A-school and he was leaving 4 days later for boot camp. Now they have been married more than 3 years and have a beautiful baby girl who is almost 9 months old :)
Good morning everyone and Happy Good Friday :) I hope you have a very nice Easter weekend. My hubby and I rented a cabin in Cherokee NC and are looking forward to some time outdoors. We found out very recently that he has diabetes and for a little over a week we have been getting used to a new way of eating to live. We have other family members camping with us this weekend so this will be a test for us to stick to our new lives. It may be hard but I have faith we can do this and have a great time together :) I hope you all are doing something fun and have beautiful weather :)

I'm completely new to the military life. But no it wasn't long ago at all. He's in California for a school now. I'm not sure why he waited for almost two months but I don't think him or his girlfriend would lie to me. I'm not sure how common is it again I'm new to the military life but I wouldn't try to give misleading information. But knowing someone actually came home gave me a bit of hope because we planned to get married after boot camp. So if I'm completely wrong I do apologize was just trying to share information that was given to me!

Hmmmm, AwaitingMySailor....how long ago was that? I have been helping on these PIR pages for over 4 yrs and we have never heard of that. However, "undesignated" sailors go to GL A School for a brief time (like 3-4 weeks) and then get Leave before duty station reporting. Could that have been the case with your friend? Other than that, we have never heard of Leave after bootcamp. Most go to their A Schools and are on "hold" there for a while until they class up.
If you have more info on this, please share it! We want to make sure to be giving out correct info! Thanks!
Good Morning All !

A dear friend of mine came home for 5 weeks ! So that's not always true in everyone case . I'm just praying we are one of the lucky families

AwaitingMySailor: They don't have Leave after bootcamp....they won't have Leave until after A School.
