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 who did not receive the form letter for whatever reason, just write or ask your SR during a call for the password to be used to download the gate pass 11 days before PIR..  Since your SR wrote it in, he/she should know it.

Good Afternoon!

Comment by diannep on October 4, 2015 at 12:05pm

The other thing that happens if you do not have the gate pass for PIR is that when you return your sailor to RTC that night, I don't think you can drive on base.  Your sailor will have to walk from the gate, but that is no big deal....good exercise!    :-)

My Sailor Daughter:  Don't think anyone was offended by what you posted.  Just wanted you to know that it wasn't quite as bad as it seemed!  Nice to know that more than you thought will have support during Bootcamp!

Comment by Amazing4 on October 4, 2015 at 9:50am
My Sailors Daughter, no offence taken here. I remember at his Swear In. My husband and I were the only ones there and 22 new recruits. We did walk away from there thinking "Wow, hopefully these kids have some support somewhere". As for the person that made a very dumb comment... I like to give gentle reminders. "It is because of so many people like my son.. that gives you the freedom to do what you do. If you cannot be supportive, it is best to say nothing at all"

My Sailors daughter no offense taken here.  I just put letter in with son and asked him to give to recruit that didn't receive one.   In case not everyone knows, DIV 370 got the scholastic flag, not completely know what that means? Diannep do u know?  I saw post oon fb about it, took me awhile to navigate to find, not great with social media. The closer PIR comes the slower my days are going. Also I read about meet and greet that centerpieces are sometimes made for division by moms. I have some nice ones that I made for sons going away party, I will bring with me. TraG151 if he was one that got sick or had wisdom teeth pulled he may like I said before playing catch up and now if he is better he may have got guard duty on the times they were given to call. Hang in there,, remember No Call is a good call! I know sounds aweful, but its true.

Comment by TraG151 on October 4, 2015 at 2:30am
You all are amazing.. Still have not got a call from my boy. I hope soon though! I would really like to hear his voice. My Sailor daughter I don't think you did. Everyone has to deal with things different and that's ok. I stayed the night in the hotel with all my kids so they spent time with him and went swimming and stuff went to MEPS and went to the airport. It was really hard! He would say things like I think it would be easier if you were not here so I would ask him if he wanted us to go. I just wanted him to be comfortable. And of course he didn't want us to. He is the one who planned the whole thing out so I was just following orders. Lol! But it was hard! But I wouldn't have changed it for the world! We as a family have been through so much we are all so close. It was for sure hard saying good bye but I told him it's never good bye it's until we see each other again! Oh how I miss him!
Comment by My Sailor daughter on October 4, 2015 at 1:30am
I'm sorry if I offended anyone in what I said earlier. My intentions were not for that. I know it's not easy saying bye to them, cause I myself wasn't sure how I react. Then remembering what that lady told me, she said to her son made me feel worst. Thank you everyone because if it wasn't for all of you mom's I would of been worst. Being on here helps so much cause I know that I'm not alone and either are our kids.
Comment by Amazing4 on October 3, 2015 at 11:58pm
My Son asked us not to go to MEPS. It broke my heart. But I honored his wishes. With a lot of tears we said our goodbyes the night before. In the end... it was best for all of us.
Comment by mommacnavy on October 3, 2015 at 11:48pm

My Sailor daughter & diannep - my niece went to MEPS & on to boot camp a few years ago... her dad, mom & sister were all at the hotel and planning to go to MEPS for the swear-in, but they were all such a mess that my niece told them she doesn't want to cause that much of a scene & they shouldn't come. At least her grandpa lived kind of close and was able to get over there to take pictures of it to give to them.  But, for a lot of the morning it probably looked like she had no support at all.  Not saying there aren't recruits without support, but just putting your mind at ease that it probably isn't as many as it looked!  I'm just glad my son believed me when I promised I would hold out on crying until we left :)  I only cried a little bit at MEPS...

Comment by bpickship14div074 on October 3, 2015 at 11:12pm
to angie80: I never received a form letter from my son. I think he either told me the password over the phone or by mail. Also if you take he shuttle service you won't need the password as that info I think is only if you drive into the lot. I think it just has your parking pass from what I remember before. So if y never get it, just take the shuttle
Comment by My Sailor daughter on October 3, 2015 at 10:25pm
TheRocksmom that's not a bad idea. How do I can I that? Diannep ur absolutely right it could be that. It's just what that lady said to me that made that cross my mind. It surely was hard to watch them wall away.
