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."

Prayer request-we are leaving tomorrow, driving to up for our son'e PIR.We still haven't heard from his DIV if they passed Battlestations-probably tomorrow, but we will be on the road. Also, there are a good many N4M's driving long distances to PIR and I would appreciate it you all could remember them as well. We have 12 hours of driving, some have much longer than that! Thank you, ladies!

Hi Baptist Moms,
Thanks for the welcomes. This site has been a true blessing to me. I am a little sad today, as today was Chrissy's original PIR date. But thankful her ankle is healed and her new PIR date is 8/21. There were many prayer warriors praying for her. I thank the Good Lord for answered prayer.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Love in Christ, Vicky

Hi Everyone,
I am a Christian and a Southern Baptist.
I just found this group. My name is Vicky. I live in California. My Navy daughter is Chrissy. She is at Great Lakes RTC. She hurt her ankle about half-way thru Boot Camp. Thank the Lord her ankle is healed now and she is moving out of RCU today!

I really like what I see in the posts to this point. God's lessons for me and my daughter (still at home for a few more short months) recently have been that He brings blessings out of seemingly bad situations, His hand is at work in our lives, and there are so many things to be thankful for.

I just found this group by checking out Jeannie-re's member page after she posted to a discussion I had started. I truly believe that the reason God led me to check out her page was so that I would find out about this group. I, too, am a Christian through faith in Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and a Baptist by choice and God's leading.

Kathleen, I really recommend web cams-true, it is not the same as holding them or cuddling them, but it is the next best thing! The catch is to get the parents to cooperate, though.

Hi, ladies. I happened on this group via Seabee Mom group. My son is P
IR 7/31, then will go to Calif. for A school. We live in Georgia so this is going to be hard, He and his wife are expecting their first child (our 3rd grand) in Dec. She lives In calif. at the time because her parents live about an hour from the base where he will be. I have been amazed at the number of women on N4M that pray for each other and each other's children but I think it is great!

Hi all ~
Thanks Jeannie for welcoming me to this awesome group! I'm a divorce, single mom of two young adult children. My oldest (sailor-girl) is serving in Norfolk, VA and is currently on deployment with her ship somewhere in Europe. My son is just graduated from high school last month. And I am planning for my empty nest (next stage of motherhool) life. I love the Lord and serve youth in my church and my community and I joined this group so that I could be of support and receive support and fellowship from other Christian women.
