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"

Comment by diannep on October 9, 2015 at 11:38pm: Kristina: Try to go on no news is good news. They usually have until their BattleStations day to pass before they have to call, although some call when they fail their final PFA. Hope you don't get another call until that great I'm a Sailor call!

Comment by KevsMom on October 9, 2015 at 11:30pm: Candy2/Stacy-

Sending bunches and bunches of prayers. Hang in there. I hope to meet you at some point during the PIR events and hopefully exchange some great, big congratulatory hugs.

Keep the Faith!!!

Comment by Navy-girlfriend on October 9, 2015 at 11:01pm: Division 346 I got my call today !! I've for a Sailor too!!

Comment by Kristina..s on October 9, 2015 at 9:28pm: Is it safe to assume our SR passed their final PFA if we have not received a call saying otherwise? My son is in div 349, I am just praying all went well, so he can move onto battle stations and PIR.

Comment by Mindyjrn on October 9, 2015 at 8:42pm: I've got a Sailor! One week and counting! Ship 12 DIV 346!

Comment by diannep on October 9, 2015 at 8:40pm: candy/Stacy: Neither of you should cancel your plans. They make them call when they don't pass their final PFA. I hate that they are made to tell families to cancel their plans because many do that before we here can get them info here to NOT cancel. They should have run again this morning, they will run again Monday morning, and Wed if necessary. Normally when they are that close to PIR, they will let them call once they pass their PFA before they do BattleStations for the sake of family's travel, but there is no guarantee. Once you receive the "do not come" call, RTC asks that you honor that unless you receive another call from your sailor that he/she passed.

It is nerve racking, I know. But this happens each and every single week for every PIR group. Most will pass before PIR, but some may not. That doesn't mean they cannot become sailors....it means that they stay in FIT and have 10-12 more times, testing every 48 hrs, but they will NOT have a PIR once they pass their own. They will pass, do BattleStaitons and head straight to A School (they DO get a short Liberty....if families are close enough to get there).

Comment by Stacy on October 9, 2015 at 8:06pm: i missed my call from my sr. My phone never rang went straight to voicemail but she never left a message. I'm assuming the same will go for her as with Candice. I'm gonna send her a letter priority and was wondering if she will get it if I send to her current div.

Comment by GAEngTeacher on October 9, 2015 at 6:28pm: We'll now all be praying for her...I'm having faith that you'll get to congratulate her next Friday...

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 9, 2015 at 6:26pm: candy2 - So sorry you got "the call".(and for anyone else receiving the same call) It is a scripted call but it sounds like she was able to squeeze a little more info in about getting some more tries.

They have to tell you not to come because as of right now they are not on track to graduate in time. Their status in training has changed. BUT as you can see it can change back if they get that qualifying run (swim, pushups, sit ups) in on time to be able to go through Battlestations and graduate on time.

From past experience on here I thought they they would have at least two more tries before PIR.

diannep will be along soon and see this. She has a much better post that explains the details and what you should expect, from now until PIR and also what happens when they don't pass on time for their original graduation date.

**NOTE - Do not change any of your plans right now.
