Choose your Username. For the privacy and safety of you and/or your sailor, NO LAST NAMES ARE ALLOWED, even if your last name differs from that of your sailor (please make sure your URL address does not include your last name either). Also, please do not include your email address in your user name. Go to "Settings" above to set your Username. While there, complete your Profile so you can post and share photos and videos of your Sailor and share stories with other moms!
Make sure to read our Community Guidelines and this Navy Operations Security (OPSEC) checklist - loose lips sink ships!
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."

Dyon Abbott, if your sailor uses the same last name I would suggest deleting it from your username. See your status box on the upper right? INBOX indicated how many private messages you have. FRIENDS indicated how many friends request you have. SETTINGS is where you go to change your username and email notifcations. Click on SETTINGS, scroll down to username and re-enter. If you are getting too many email notifications, click on SETTINGS, then click on EMAIL and select when you do want email notifications. Some like it, others don't. Because I am in many groups and I am chatty with my N4M friends, I would get at least 100 per day if I had them all turned ON. That is a lot of emails to delete from a little Blackberry.
Yip, who else but mom would answer the phone at 2:00 am with a "Oh, sweetie. It's so good to hear from you. How are you? OK. OK. You need me to mail that first thing in the morning. Sure. No problem. I'll get on it right away."

Well Nancy a big welcome to you. Best of luck to your new ensign.

Don't mean to get personal, NavyMomXXXY but I have been noticing your profile photo. You had one with your son and daughter in their Naval fineries. If this is part of your regression therapy, we fully understand. I look at this photo and smile and laugh on a regular basis, especially when he is incommunicado.

I received a forwarded email (by my son in law) from my daughter. She's doing well on her first cruise. She says everyone is really nice to her, and they are close enough to shore that she may actually be able to use her cell phone this weekend. Nice to know she's doing OK, since it's her first time out to sea, and she's a brand-new ensign.
