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."

Please Bring Back OUR Page Numbers

Dear Elle,
I know this may sound petty and silly but US moms really enjoy have "page #'s" for our groups, blogs, dicussions etc.
Not only for reading back to the pages from the day earlier but also as a "reference" to a comment, picture or information!
I am asking that N4Ms put our "page numbers" back where they belong!
♥
D.

Ok Elle, it been awhile WHEN oh WHEN..and yes I am griping!!! ♥

Comment by Navy for Moms Admin on November 19, 2009 at 2:15am: Hey Diane (and everyone else) -

I feel you. I already sent a note to Ning about it requesting they give us the option to reverse back to the old system. No word yet but I'm hoping they come to their senses about it.

I actually posted about this and other changes the other day here.

Thanks for the feedback!

Comment by Navy for Moms Admin on November 19, 2009 at 1:28pm: Good news - it is coming back! Not sure of the date but I was told today that it will be changing soon :)
