Go to "Settings" above to set your Username.  While there, complete your Profile so you can post and share photos and videos of your Sailor and share stories with other moms!

OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Hello! My daughter is also going to corpsman school in Texas. But I haven't heard about any delays for her going there. But, I also haven't talked to her for three weeks. If you find out anything, please let me know. I will do the same!

That's awesome! Means she listened when I talked to her about manners! Lol! At least she got the right letter in the right envelope for you! She mixed up a bunch of her other letters! Lol

Hi Michelle!  I hope I didn't sound bossy to you when I said let's forget "the GE grant money" comment, because I really didn't mean to be.  I thought about it a few minutes later and then decided to delete it.  There's so much competition for grant money out there and we have so many organizations that check MAS out to see what we are doing & how, that I thought better of leaving that statement in an open forum.  Here's to happy hunting for $$s that we can in turn spend on our adoptions!!!  ~ Donna

Hi Michelle, How are you holding up? Remember that all of us have been where you are right now. We came out of it stronger as did our sailors! You can always talk to us and vent! We are here for you and we understand. Pat
