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."

IMPORTANT: Revised Community Guidelines and Policies!
Message from Rear Admiral Robin Braun
N4M Members,
As I mentioned in my previous message, we have been conducting a very thorough review of the Community Guidelines to ensure we continue to provide our members the most rewarding experience possible while respecting the freedoms our Sailors serve to protect.
As you know, the purpose of NAVYForMoms.com is to bring together Navy parents and the parents of recruiting-age young men and women to discuss the multitude of leadership, training, and career opportunities our Navy offers and the great pride Navy parents have in their children. NAVYForMoms.com exists to allow families an open forum to discuss what life in the Navy is really like.
Today, I am pleased to announce the completion of this review and the adoption of new Community Guidelines for the NAVYForMoms.com website.
The goal of the new Guidelines is to facilitate open discussion without compromising the purpose of the website, namely the exchange of information relating to service in the Navy. As I noted in my previous message, your personal freedoms are extremely important to the Navy and my hope is that these updated Guidelines provide the best possible balance between the defense of those liberties and the integrity of the website.
I encourage everyone to review the revised Community Guidelines and to become familiar with acceptable use on the NAVYForMoms.com website. The new Community Guidelines may be reviewed here.
I would like to draw your attention to the discussion of off-topic posts and the need to keep discourse civil. These rules are intended to ensure that members get the quick and useful answers to their Navy-related questions in the friendly and collegial atmosphere that has come to define NAVYForMoms.com.
Please know that NAVYForMoms members’ suggestions played a critical part in the revision of the Guidelines, and we will continue to rely on your honest feedback as we strive to provide the best possible user experience.
As always, I would like to thank you for your continued support of the Navy family and our men and women who serve our great nation.
Rear Admiral Robin Braun, USN
Commander
Navy Recruiting Command

No religious debate ... does this mean religious affirmations such as the interfaith group or the prayer groups will be gone also?

Groups of a supportive nature involving the sharing of prayers and other religious affirmations are permitted so long as they are not specific to any one religion.

Good Morning Everyone,
I have just read the above infomration and the comments. I too agree with Melissa. And I have the same wonder as Anti M. Will there be some more discussion on these topics? I have to share - that I have not read any hateful debates. I have seen a misunderstanding of concerns, but nothing hurtful. Waiting to hear more - please. T-Lynn
