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."

Comment by Donna on September 10, 2013 at 5:47pm: It is from the group MAS, Molly's Adopt A Sailor. Molly's is on N4M's so I'm guessing it is a N4M. Project.

Do you belong to the group Molly's Adopt A Sailor. Will you be able to make it and help us out?

Comment by Valtameri on September 10, 2013 at 12:48pm: Donna, will this be part of the N4Ms annual Holiday Project, or is this a separate thing?

Comment by Donna on September 6, 2013 at 7:54pm: Great ZWB Kathy! We'll be making a lot of sailors smile this Christmas. I'll be posting the wish list shortly! Thanks ladies
