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."

Wine club anyone?!?!
Would anyone be interested in a weekly event where fellow N4M members "get together" and have a glass of wine? We would toast those who have received letters and/or phone calls and to support those who are waiting. Can we come up with a catchy name for the wine club and "meet" the same time every week? Ideas?!?

On the top of any page there are the tabs. The last one on the right says chat. Click on that and then you are in a live chat room of other moms on the site. It is like texting, very fast and easy. Many conversations could be happening at the same time, but very friendly. I try to log on around 5pm Central time and check in every 1/2 hour or so to see if I know anyone on, then I stay and chat for a bit.
Hope this helps! "See" you Sunday!

Remember to go to the main chat room (top of page, tab on far right) at 6 pm your time. I'll try to be there at the start of every hour. Just pop on in for how ever long you have and enjoy a beverage if you choose...
