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 failed test I'm referring to below is the PFA (fitness test).

Comment by diannep on August 28, 2015 at 2:20pm

Lae:  A SR cannot come home after a failed test...unless he/she is ultimately discharged.  If they do not pass their failed test by their PIR date, therefore not graduating, they stay in FIT and get about 10-12 more chances to pass.  When they do, they do BattleStations, maybe have a short Liberty time, and head to A School...no graduation once they miss their own.  If they do not pass the test within the allotted number of chances, they are discharged.

Comment by diannep on August 28, 2015 at 2:16pm

Lae:  He still has more chances to pass so don't cancel PIR plans.  He will get to try again on Mon and if needed, Wed as well.  If he passes on Mon, he will go with the next divisions doing BattleStations and call you once a sailor.  If he doesn't pass until Wed, he will do BattleStations Thurs night before PIR, with the next PIR group, and be at graduation.  Too tired to march in that case, after being up all night...so in uniform in the balcony with the other sailors who also did BattleStations the night before.  RTC asks that you DO NOT go to PIR unless you get another call from your SR saying that he/she is now a sailor.  However, if you decide to go....just in case....there is always a chance he became a sailor on Fri morning (PIR day)....in that case, you would of course be allowed into graduation.  If not, you will not be and will not be allowed to see your SR.  So prayers that he gets this done on Monday, does BattleStations and calls you on Tues of Wed!  It gets complicated after that!

Comment by Flora on August 28, 2015 at 12:19pm
Hello everyone. My son DIV 294. Received his last letter yesterday, because he says at the very last paragraph " 'til graduation". And the last phone call I received was 8/20, 2 days after his 18th bday.
Comment by Lae on August 28, 2015 at 9:54am
If we received the call that he won't be graduating do to failure & he now is in FIT division what happens ?
Comment by Steph Proud AG Mom on August 28, 2015 at 9:28am

Good Luck today!  Next week is our turn.. Hooyah!!!

Comment by diannep on August 28, 2015 at 7:18am
