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"

Friends,

This scripture is so appropriate for the Battlestations that your SRs will be going through soon. Perhaps you can share with your SR in a letter now.

"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

When you pass through the waters,

I will be with you; and when you pass

through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.

When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;

the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord,

your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior..."

Isaiah 43:1b-3a

Hello All!

"I will lift up my eyes to the hills--

where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord,

the Maker of heaven and earth."

Psalm 121:1-2

Thank you ellen0502 for the additional information it was a huge help.

Comment by ellen0502 on May 25, 2015 at 1:15pm

ladiesnoopy, Taking a tour of base is not possible, but you can walk to the NEX with your Sailor after PIR. The shuttles don't leave immediately after PIR, so you have some time.

Your son will be able to leave immediately after PIR (or close to it), and will have to be back to base by approx 8pm. The Sailors who have to check out of the RTC and into A School right away are those who are staying in GL for school.

It is true that almost all, if not all, Sailors leave in the wee hours of Sat morning, but some might not leave until Sunday. Your Sailor won't know travel plans until a couple of weeks before PIR. This is why we suggest you stay until Sunday.

I read CatMom509's posting on pertinent info concerning PIR and now I have some questions. I would appreciate anyone suggestions. She suggests taking the shuttle but we were thinking of driving onto base so my son can give us a tour after the ceremony. Does anyone know if that would be possible. Also he is going to Pensacola for A school and from reading other information it sounds like he will have to process out of boot camp immediately following the PIR. Is that true and what do the parents do while he is doing that?? Also CatMom509 states that everyone goes to the airport at 1am. Is that truly everyone or does it depend on where you go for A school? I am the type that has lots of questions and likes to be prepared so would love to hear anyone's thoughts.

Remembering our many service men and women who gave their lives in service to our country, protecting its freedom.  We so appreciate each and every one of them.

Good Morning....

Oh, a reminder that since tomorrow is Memorial Day, your day that you receive letters from your SRs will move over 1 day this week....
