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."

This, too. My hubby knows when I peep my head in the office I am waiting to be on again, for hours and hours and hours--just like what I used to yell at my sailor for doing!

You know you're addicted to N4M when you set your blackberry to give you a "sonar" ding everytime a Navy Mom responds to your messages!

True this Clair - I did the same, tells me when to go online and check the posts. Also if I get an email rather then a comment I can read and respond instantly no matter where I'm at!!

I enjoyed meeting you in NYC. I had already met some Texas moms and wondered what I was getting into. I had such a blast meeting people with common interest and they were such nice people. And you, double Navy mom, I couldn't believe that we were at the same PIR. I realise that I don't talk to my sister (Norfolk, Va) as much. I told her to join NFM as an Aunt if she wants to hear from me.

When you convince yourself you can take a 15 second "boot camp shower" so you can read just a few more blogs before getting ready for work.

Our Dad taught us short showers growing up--3 minutes maximum. Must have been an officer thing. Stuck with me through the years. But, yeh, somedays I even rush my makeup to get back here.
