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"

Same here, LIB.  I've made sure my phone was by my side every moment today, hoping that I'd get a call. Haven't gotten a letter either, besides the form letter.

Comment by LIB on October 3, 2015 at 11:08pm
I didn't get a phone call today. I'm so sad. I just want to hear his voice, DIV 004 Ship 008

Also, Texasmom.  There are no tickets for PIR.  They go by the names your SR puts on the guest list, which is updated about a week before PIR.

Comment by Texasmom on October 3, 2015 at 9:39pm
Diannep thank you so much. That helps as I determine how things will go, as I may be at hotel live streaming, and other family members there at ceremony. Helps to sort out details. I'll have to do some more "letting go" of my growing son, waiting till he gets to hotel and letting he and others handle the details there. There has been lits of "letting go" lately, huh, for all us boot camp moms, particularly speaking of high school grads. My SR is a twin, and my last two just left the nest!! I'm getting practiced at being an empty nester. So I guess I can handle waiting at hotel to see my sailor!!

Nice to meet you FTLW
Comment by diannep on October 3, 2015 at 8:57pm

Texasmom:  Yes, when Liberty is called at the end of PIR, you will find your sailor (the division will be in front of you) and get your hugs.  They clear the hall in about 10 min so get your piks quickly....there are no piks allowed outside of the Hall.  Remember that because they are very strict about taking your phones/cameras and deleting the piks if you forget.  Your sailor probably will have to return to his ship to checkout and then you are free to leave.  However, for those moving to A School in GL, this will happen right after PIR is over.  It takes several hours and you pick them up over there later.  The GL Sailors will have Daytime Liberty through the weekend, returning to base each night. 

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 3, 2015 at 8:19pm

My apologies...I have not introduced myself.

I am a “veteran” mom. When I am on here my focus is mainly the PIR Groups and Boot Camp Mom's.

You can call me FTLW, it's easier :-)

My Sailor PIR’d in 05/2011. He is a Seabee Reservist. I am an AF (Security Forces) Reservist wife (29 years - now retired). I know …not Navy…but I am familiar with military life! We have been through two Deployments. Our son enlisted while Hubby was on his 2nd Deployment.. This site was a Godsend and helped me get through not only our sons BC experience but my husbands Deployment.

Welcome to your PIR Group!

I received a call from my son today! Ship 06 Div 003.
Comment by Bradensmom on October 3, 2015 at 7:45pm
My son called me this afternoon. It made my day!!!
Comment by Texasmom on October 3, 2015 at 6:28pm
Ellen0502, your great. Thanks for the detailed thoughtful text. All sounds good. So at end of pir, do we find our sailor there in ceremony hall, talk hug, leave immediately, mingle? Does he/she usually have to report to anyone or all ready to go!? Except if they have duty or going to A school at GL. What's percedure at closing of ceremony?
