N4M's Community Guidelines

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"

Hello all! This is my first time here! My son is Div 195, he is a Seabee, hope I spelled that right! Any other Seabee moms? I look forward to reading all your comments. I received the call, the box and the form letter so far! Hope to get an actual letter soon!

jovilla:  Write down that the 17th was 1-1 for your division (which would be 189/190, possibly the same for 191/192 also).  Remember that Saturdays and Sundays do not count in the training week/day count.  So....today for 189/190 should be 2-1, tomorrow 2-2, hold on the weekend, and then Monday will be 2-3.  There are 5 training days, so each Thurs, your division will be starting the next week.  That is....until Memorial Day!  Holidays set them back a day....so your division day 1 will then be Friday rather than Thurs.  No worries that this delays training...it is all taken into consideration when they set up the training schedule and they will graduate on time!

Comment by diannep on April 24, 2014 at 2:35pm

The form letters can take from a few days to 2-3 weeks to arrive.  If yours does not, is there anyone else that your SR could have mailed it to?  They only mail out one.  However, I was told by someone up there that in a divorce situation, your SR can actually request 2 copies of the letter so he/she can send one to each parent.  I don't know how many SRs ask this though...and they may not be aware that they can do this.

Comment by diannep on April 24, 2014 at 2:33pm

Deb:  Is your SR going to be staying in GL for A School?  If so, you will have Friday after PIR, once he moves over to that base, with him for Liberty (until 9 or 10 pm), and then Daytime Liberty with him on Sat. and Sun.  If he is flying out to A School, most likely he will be leaving on Saturday, but occasionally they leave on Sunday, so we suggest that all book their returns on Sunday if possible rather than Sat.  You will be allowed to visit with your sailor at the airport.  Bring ID and you can get the airlines gate pass so you can wait until your sailor's plane departs.

You all remember that if you book on Southwest Airlines, you can change your flights if necessary with no change fee.  Also 2 bags check for free.  They fly into Milwaukee WI (45 min to GL) and also Chicago-Midway (hour+ to GL depending on traffic).

I just ordered my PIR ribbons for my family to wear on the big day!  Can't wait to get them!!

Comment by Ashley on April 24, 2014 at 2:06pm
mrsrds2012: My husband left the day before yours, and I live in Florida. I would assume our mail would arrive at the same time. :-\ Hmmm.
Comment by mrsrds2012 on April 24, 2014 at 1:59pm

Just received two letters and my military ID packet from the hubby. He left on 4/9/14 - and we live in Oregon. Hope that helps.

Comment by Ashley on April 24, 2014 at 12:58pm
jovilla: That's awesome that you heard from your SR! :-) Our SRs are in the same ship and division. When did you receive your call? I would assume they'd make them at the same time.
Comment by Stephanie_76 on April 24, 2014 at 11:45am

The form letter states the address for writing and the PIR date but nothing about liberty.  I think you get the information from your SR when PIR gets closer.   When did your SR leave?  They can write the 2nd or 3rd Sunday they are there.  They all look forward to writing and mail letters as soon as they can so I would think you should be receiving something from your SR soon.  I am in Illinos.

Comment by deb on April 24, 2014 at 10:51am
Yes I called recruiter for address and rating..but I still have no form letter..want to book reservations,but not sure how long son w/be on liberty or how to get his phone back to him. He can't have it at RTC. Thinking how to be @ airport when he leaves for "A" school...form letter has that info,right? Where r u from? Im in TX
