DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

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"

Thanks - been educating myself but get confused on when, week, day they are on.  lol!  One of the letters I got had 3-1 so I assumed that was week 3 day 1, but he didn't put the actual date on the letter so not sure when 3-1 started.  And that is another reason why I am here - thanks Navy mom's and dad's!  :)

Michelle:  Yes, you can bring in bleacher cushions for PIR.

This group graduates 2 weeks from Friday.  So.....they are in Training Week 5, which could be Bootcamp Week 6....remember, they are different.  Processing Days are when they first arrive....those count in Bootcamp weeks, but not in Training Weeks (6 of those).  Also, the days between BattleStations and PIR do not count in Training Weeks.  For those who go through BattleStations Thurs night a week before PIR week, but means they have a week of days not including in the Training Weeks before PIR.  That is why Bootcamp is about 8 weeks long, but training is only 6 weeks long.

Yes, BattleStations is their final test.  They normally conduct these starting Thurs night week before PIR week, then Mon and Tues nights of PIR week.  They usually do them on week/day count 6-5 (training week count). Depends on the division as far as which day they do BattleStations.  So all should be done by Wed of PIR week (12 hr overnight drill....read more about this in the BattleStations discussion above).

And, by the way, my son was at Bootcamp over 10 weeks....he had Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays in there and was also setback a week.  So the 8 week number for Bootcamp weeks is average....some are there a few days less, some more.

From what my daughter has told me during one of our phone calls, if my calculations are correct, they are on wk5day3 today.

Comment by Michelle0206 on May 4, 2015 at 9:58am
My understanding is that Battlestations is the last thing they do....I think it's their last week there, week 8. But my son will be there almost 9 weeks by PIR. I think they are in week 5, and according to what I have seen they are discussing their navy goals for their future....?
Comment by tytulip40 on May 4, 2015 at 9:39am

I think you can - I've read it a few places and was planning on stopping to pick up some when we get there.  

Comment by Michelle0206 on May 4, 2015 at 9:20am
Does anyone know if we can bring in bleacher seat pads for PIR?
Comment by Michelle0206 on May 4, 2015 at 9:17am
Mamakweenb, if our sons are both singing, they are definitely friends and spending tons of time together!!! Our son has dropped a lot of last names in a letter to my dad, but we can't use last names here. My son in Nathan, if you ever get that call or write a letter, you can mention him. He is singing bass. He is also ship staff writing schedules for the whole ship, so I know he's busy. I also know he's doing all the socializing he can and making a new family. It's what they're supposed to do...I should be happy. (Get it together, girl!) sometimes I think of how challenging to is to have him gone this way, and then it think of the long years stretched out ahead that he will still be enlisted....this is just the beginning. Need to pray for his strength and my own as well.
Dianne's and Tammy, what is hell week? Never heard about it! My son is starting week 6 there and has PIR 5/22. I am not understanding. I want to know how I should be praying for him based on what they're doing.

Is Battlestations this week or next?  

Comment by diannep on May 4, 2015 at 7:08am

Good Morning!
