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."

Can prospective members now join? UPDATE
UPDATE! Administration and oversight of Navyformoms.com is in a period of transition from the agency that created it in 2008 to the agency that replaced it in 2015. They are making every effort to approve new members (a batch was approved today, in fact!) and absorb all the functions handled by the previous agency.

Prospective members who have attempted to join since May see the following when they sign in to N4M "Your membership is pending approval." They are able to visit public areas within the site (just as ANYONE with access to the web can), but they cannot post anything.

Is there a timeline of when this may be fixed? If they can't post questions then they have to struggle around looking for information and I know without this site I would have had so much stress and worry.

I wonder if the issue is financial, or simply apathy. A shame, either way.

It has to do with the transition from the prior agency (Campbell Ewald) to the new one. They are working on it; see the update and responses I received today.

I would suggest keeping "prospective members" limited to certain areas. There is a lot of information inadvertently posted here that might be better not made public, for OPSEC reasons. We all try to watch what we say, but it's hard to tell sometimes what shouldn't be leaked.
That's just my opinion anyway.
