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!

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 Sharon ~ K's Mom on November 17, 2011 at 1:40pm: Welcome to all the new moms!! There are quite a few groups here as well as on Faebook. You can access them and join as you would like. Quintinsmom just started a new one, you are welcome to join that one and as many others as you would like. We truly need to support and encourage each other on this journey we are now on. Thanks Quintinsmom!!!!

If any of you are "Cake Poppers" I have the perfect site for you on FB. It is only for info and resources to "cake pops" even if you do other things. I do chocolates, having owned a retail chocolate shoppe in the past, I have done cakes as well in the past. Now, I am doing Thanksgiving and Christmas Chocolates as well as "Cake Pops" and loving it. There are people from around the world in this group, it is a closed group so you have to ask to join. Once there, you too will become addicted like the rest of us. It really helps when you have others helping support, encourage you in your daily world, whether it is being a Navy mom or a Cake Popper!!!!!
