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"

For those of you who are getting the "I did not pass PFA...don't come..."calls, your recruits still have a chance to pass their PFA, then pass Battlestations and graduate on time. 

They will go to the FIT division where they will focus on passing there PFA.

They will be allowed to test every other day so (Monday and Wednesday).

If they pass one of those days then they will participate in Battlestations with the Divisions that are going through the next night (Tuesday and Thursday respectively).

If they go through on Thursday they most likely will not march in with their division on Friday at PIR, BUT will sit in the stands...too tired to go through PIR.

Recruits are required to call home if their is a change in sthi status (hence the first call because they are no longer on track to graduate.) Once their status changes back to "graduating" then they are supposed to be granted another call to let you know.This usually does happen but sometimes in the hustle and bustle of moving the recruit around and getting things back on track, that call has not happened :-(. They're just very focused on getting your recruit to Sailor status.

For those who get the bad news phone call, I just found great information at http://navyformoms.com/group/bootcampmoms/page/battle-stations-21.  Check it out.  It has made me feel better because it gives you a phone number to call the day before you leave to see if they passed their failed test and will be graduating.

I am mostly worried about him passing his PFA tests. I just keep praying and hoping!
Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 4, 2015 at 5:39pm

I don't think 305 would've gone through today (unless they went out of order...anything is possible).

The Ship used for Battlestations can only accommodate up to 4 Divisions and the personnel administering the tests.

Comment by tristansmom on September 4, 2015 at 5:28pm

I am still waiting to hear from my SR div 305. I saw a wife post about 306 div passing tests and that is 305's brother division. I think this is worse than sending him off to Boot Camp!!!!!!!!

Comment by MrsG on September 4, 2015 at 5:22pm
301.
Thank you!
Comment by tristansmom on September 4, 2015 at 5:21pm

MrsG, what div are you again please? Congratulations!!!!

Mother of a NEW SAILOR!
If you have not received a call as yet, know that the lines are long, and the phones are not working well. My sailor had to call 4 times from 4 different phones.
For those sent to FIT, prayers are going up for your recruits.
Comment by Menzvibe on September 4, 2015 at 5:02pm

Just received my " I am a U S Navy Sailor " call!!!! This is one proud Mom!!! Don't know how  i would have made this Journey without Navy Mom. The wonderful caring Administrators and other Mom's. I will always remember this time we have shared together. Thank you for the daily Scriptures that have carried me through this time. Now off to A school!!! My Sailor will stay in Great Lakes. 

Comment by COMOM on September 4, 2015 at 4:59pm

I just got the "I did not pass the PFA; I will not be graduating, so do not come." phone call from my daughter (DIV 304).  I'm so disappointed for her; she is very physically fit, so this is a huge surprise.  I wish I had read the discussions yesterday, then I would have known questions to ask.  She was very upset so I just reassured her everything would be OK and she would pass.  So, she said thank you and calmed down some.  Our flight is scheduled to leave Thursday morning at 6:30am.  She said don't come to graduation unless we get another call from her.  But, it seems from my reading that sometimes they don't get a chance to call.  I'd rather go and her not graduate than not go and miss her graduation.  Any advice?
