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"

What ship are your recruits on?
Comment by NavyDad on October 8, 2015 at 9:52pm
Thanks so much everyone...very helpful. We are driving up from Texas. Want to plan out as much as possible. I did attend Moody Bible Institute in Chicago but haven't been back since 1989. Looking forward to the graduation and being back in the Chicago area.

Fine, I will ignore the bible verses.
Comment by diannep on October 8, 2015 at 8:45pm

VirgoMom:  CatMom's verses, which she has been posting now for a few years on here, have been much appreciated by many in the past.  I find them very inspirational!

Comment by diannep on October 8, 2015 at 8:27pm

NavyDad:  Most likely, your sailor will fly out on Friday....so you would have Wed after PIR and Thanksgiving Day with your new sailor. Although it COULD be Saturday, it more likely will be Friday.  But plan to stay through Saturday at least just in case.

NavyDad - Welcome to the Group! Love Philippians!

There is no overnight Liberty on PIR weekend. 

Those that will be flying out for A school will remain on RTC until they depart. The times will vary. (GL A schools list the time of return on their Phase Liberty policy...these are always subject to change!)

It could be as early as 6:30 AM to 9 PM at night. Each day may be different as well.

I know this because this happened with my Sailor. We had a Thursday PIR as he graduated on Memorial Day weekend.

PIR day - released right after PIR and return time was 8 or 9 PM.

Friday - released at 7 AM; return was 8 PM.

Saturday - released around 7 or 8 and return was 7 PM. He also had to stand watch on this day from 4-6 PM. We met him on Base and had Subway with him in Recruit Heaven.

He departed RTC in the wee hours of Sunday morning (1 AM) and we met him at the AP to say our final good byes.

This is just our personal experience to use as a guide to the diversity that can happen.

Be prepared but be flexible :-)

Sidebar - On time in the military is late! Make sure your Sailors are back in PLENTY of time to get to their Ships with time to spare. It is a good 20-30 minute walk from the Gate. They must walk too. No double timing it or running.

Also, as mine did your new Sailors may have to interrupt their Liberty time and return to RTC to stand a watch (not always...just depends on the needs at the time). Again please make sure they have plenty of time to get back and gear up.

Little help on understanding liberty. My son is supposed to have A school in Florida (Aircrewman school) and fly out after graduation. So it looks like it will probably be Friday or Saturday. So, does that mean he can leave for the day and return at night to base on Thur and Fri or stay over night. If just liberty in the day, from what time to what time. THANKS ANYONE!
Comment by NavyDad on October 8, 2015 at 5:56pm
Here we go! Proud of all our future sailors. graduation will be here before you know it. Just got are form letter from my son today and wrote him back. Looking forward to hearing from him. Great Scripture quote from Isaiah, I also like the one in Philippians 4:6:

"DON'T WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING BUT PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING"
