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"

The swim test is a tricky one, especially the prone float, it catches a lot of recruits with "no fat to float" off guard. Don't be too concerned at this point about it. Your recruits are given as much help as possible, and time allows to pass this test and the PFA test.

Your recruits, if having trouble, will be able to retest as many times as needed up to the week of PIR.

There are a few times during the year that PIR does not fall on a Friday, and it always has to do with federal holidays.

Thanksgiving week PIR is always on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. 

Any other federal holiday that falls on a Thursday or Friday (or are observed Friday), will also not have PIR on the Friday.

KimT...Here is the info for the swim test they must pass in Boot Camp which is the 3rd Class Swim. Depending on his rating he may have to pass the 2nd Class Swim Test.

Third-Class Swim Test - A third class swim test is a test to determine if a person can stay afloat and survive without the use of a personal Floatation Device (PFD) in open water long enough to be rescued in a man-overboard situation. The 3rd class swimmer qualification is the minimum entry-level requirement for all U.S. Navy Personnel.

The third class swim test consists of TWO modules. Module one is composed of three separate events, a deep water jump, a 50-yard swim (using any stroke), and a 5-minute prone float. Swimmers who successfully pass module one may continue on to module two. Module two consists of shirt and trouser or coverall inflation.

Because of the holiday it's on July 2nd..it's posted on the navy website too...I just talked to my son and he said yes the 2nd..go to www.bootcamp.navy.mil and it listed July 2nd as the graduation date for our division
Comment by Teddi on May 24, 2015 at 6:10pm

Hi...I just talked with the Red Carpet Inn in Chicago and he insists that graduation is July 3...always on a Friday he said...but everything else and everyone else is saying it is the July 2 on a Thursday...Is the language causing this confusion ...am I hearing the dates correctly...I have airline tickets that get me there on the 1st in time for graduation on the second...anyone have any thoughts...Teddi

Comment by KimT on May 24, 2015 at 6:07pm

My son called today! Ship 13 Div 230. He is worried about the swim test. Does anybody know what's involved and how many chances they get?

Comment by Nuke wife/nuke mom on May 24, 2015 at 6:06pm
