While there, complete your Profile so you can post and share photos and videos of your Sailor and share stories with other moms!

Join groups! Browse for groups for your PIR date, your sailor's occupational specialty, "A" school, assigned ship, homeport city, your own city or state, and a myriad of other interests. Jump in and introduce yourself! Start making friends that can last a lifetime.

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 mistydawn_67 on December 26, 2010 at 11:25am: I wish I could go to one of these! Every time we have a wrestling tourney for our soon to be sailor. Maybe after his wrestling and our daughter's basketball is over we can join in.

Comment by Kelley (Ship 12 Div 036) on November 22, 2010 at 9:44pm: Received my sons first letter today. He is enjoying his time and I am starting the timer to get his next letter. Ship 12 Div 036 PIR 1/07/2011

Comment by pgrlisa on November 22, 2010 at 6:31pm: Bought 3 big bags of candy at Sam's today. I'm not sure there are more than 300 pieces, but someone else will bring some, I hope.

Comment by pgrlisa on November 17, 2010 at 1:39pm: I'll be hitting Sam's Club this weekend to do some shopping. I'll pick up some candy. I also have a friend who's son is a Marine. She has an elementary school aged daughter. I've asked her to see if her daughter's Girl Scout Troop or class (or both) will write letters or make cards.

Comment by pgrlisa on November 9, 2010 at 10:55pm: Chris - I talked with one of the recruiters while at the Veteran's Day Parade on Saturday. December 4th was the day he mentioned. Maybe I'll make this one.

Comment by phoebe stg2 on November 2, 2010 at 7:59pm: Please keep me on the list. My son is at GL now in BC. 9 days and counting and still no PIR date or form letter. I will keep my candy for you.

Comment by AH on October 22, 2010 at 3:14pm: I just joined the Colorado Moms, however have been posting on N4M for some time now. I see a get together that you all did here recently. Do you do any others in the Denver area?

Comment by liongirl3502(ship10Div331) on October 4, 2010 at 4:54pm: I was wondering if by some chance there are any Navy Moms from the San Luis Valley on here or even Southern Colorado?

Comment by julieb on September 25, 2010 at 10:01pm: OMG I was shopping at Target and found a Sailor Nut Cracker. They had several different themed Nutcrackers and about died when I found the sailor. He so ugly he is cute! Just thought I would pass it along!!!
