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 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"

Alyssa's Grandma, Please let me know if your granddaughter doesn't get the sailors you need. My son will remain in Great Lakes for A school. Send me a message :)

Comment by diannep on October 2, 2014 at 7:19am

Good Morning All !

Comment by CatMom509 on October 2, 2014 at 3:17am

Alyssa'sGrandmaSandra,

How awesome would that be for a brand new Sailor to be able to serve in another Sailor's honorable retirement ceremony??  Like Lala, I am also sure that Sailors will be able to help in this special occasion!!

Maybe you could copy your post and add it to the Discussion Forum, so other Navy parents can respond up there?  It might get buried on this Main Comment Wall as more families post~~

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 1, 2014 at 11:28pm

That is so awesome Alyssa's Grandma, what an amazing ceremony that will be. If you don't find the sailors to be the sideboys please send me a message. I have a contact up there and I am thinking maybe some of the A-school sailors may be willing to help. I really don't think you will have a hard time finding some to help :)

Heidic,

I rented a car, but opted to leave it at my hotel and take Sarge's shuttle.  It was so easy!  I didn't have to worry about my driving route or parking.   We had him pick us up at 6:30 am, but it would have been better if we had him pick us up at 6:15 am.  Like diannep, those top seats with the wall behind it on the lower bleachers were almost gone!  My daughter and myself got the last 2 spots. These seats were nice since we were able to lean against that wall.  After PIR and exploring the NEX with my Sailor daughter, we caught a Sarge shuttle in the lot to the right of the NEX.  I wanted my Sailor to be able to relax a bit at the hotel for just a bit before we headed out to get something to eat~~

LoriM:  So glad that your daughter was able to call you and tell you she passed the final PFA.  They normally are not allowed to do that....only call if they failed it.  So glad you got that great news! 

Comment by diannep on October 1, 2014 at 11:57am

Heidic:  There are pros and cons to both the shuttle and driving.  We took the shuttle...loved it....no issues....we were on the 6:30 shuttle, at the base by 6:40, in PIR Hall by a few minutes after 7 (that part opens at 7).  Already, the top and bottom rows in our division section were full!  So people do get there early and I advise that.  We had no problem picking a shuttle back up after it was over....with our sailor....and actually were the only 3 on it. 

Others have driven and like having their car there.  Some didn't want to wait in the traffic going onto and off the base, so they parked at the train station which is right past RTC (about 1/4 mile walk back to the gate).  I believe that it may be paid parking there, but convenient to get out...especially if you are taking the train into Chicago after PIR. 

For those choosing to drive and park on base, here is a big hint:  Stay to the left on Buckley (main drag to RTC), you will see the car line on your right.  Bypass RTC and turn around at the train station, heading back to RTC from the opposite way.  Easy quick left turn onto the base then!  Don't wait in that long car line!!!!
