Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

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

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

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"

Hello!

     "Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works,

      which You have done; and Your thoughts toward us

      cannot be recounted to You in order; if I would

      declare and speak of them, they are more then

      can be numbered."

Good day everyone- this memorial weekend we will be lighting the grill without our son. I know the next time i see him he will be marching in those huge doors at PIR. A new beginning he will start with two families now his mom-dad-brother-and 2 dogs and now his NAVY family. Can't wait!

Chetta:  They are allowed civilian clothes in A School, but must phase up before wearing them.  They are allowed their electronic devices as well, normally.  For those flying out, these have to be given to the sailors at the airport and need to fit in their existing Navy luggage (large seabag, garment bag-uniforms, and Navy-issued backpack), or mailed to them at A School.  For those staying in GL for A School, they can return to that base with their personal items after Liberty.

Hailey, He probably can't have his car right away at A School (and he cant drive PIR weekend), first of all he won't be able to leave base for several weeks, he has to phase up in order to do so. He needs to get permission, car registered etc, before he can even have his car (unless things have changes)

As for when and if he can have it after that, there are lots of ifs, ands, and buts on that one. Length of A School, kids, full housing, etc. I would wait to take it to him until he has all the rules and regs for having it.

As for visiting him at school, he will have to phase up to leave base, phase up for overnights etc. He will not be allowed to travel over 300 miles from base at all.

Comment by Hailey on May 23, 2015 at 10:32am
My husband will be graduating 6/19 and will be staying in Great Lakes. When he called me last week he asked if I would bring his car to him when we go to graduation, I didn't think they were allowed to have them, and I didn't have time to talk to him about whether or not he could have it or not. Does anyone know? Also how does visiting them in a school work? We only live about 4 hrs from Chicago so it's not too bad of a drive
Comment by Chetta on May 23, 2015 at 10:20am

Does anyone know what they are allowed to have in A school.....like clothes, phone, laptop..?????  

Comment by diannep on May 23, 2015 at 9:41am

Good Morning! Hope all have a good Memorial Day weekend!

Comment by CatMom509 on May 23, 2015 at 1:09am

67firebird,

I remember that my PIR group and Boot Camp Moms were my lifeline to hang onto so I could feel connected to my Sailor daughter!!  FB was not a big thing 2 years ago--actually, I really hung back from that because I didn't want to be "sucked in!"   I really like that this group is more private since my daughter's rating is one of the more confidential ones~~

I went through all the links posted in the center and the Pages section of both groups--plus I had my share of questions for lemonelephant, diannep, ellen0502, FTLW, and LalaPIRRibbonQueen!!

I can't imagine how the other Navy families do it without being on these groups!!
