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."

Welocme AmyM. This is a good and safe place to be. Ask you questions, share your joys and concerns - we will help as best as we can - and sometimes that is simply listening - often we laugh (it is a tradition), we will cry with you, give ou lots of hugs even like this one {{{ N4M }}} when we aren't together physically, and absolutely celebrate your joys and sailor's accomplishments. WE ARE HERE FOR YOU.
I had a Sabbath day yesterday!!!! My second. Big accomplishment for me.
Sorry, can't do the 12th - tons of work and I choose to be 'off'' yesterday and not look at any of it. So, I'm sorry that I can't be with you in person on the 12th.
I am keeping the 21st and doing my best to be there.
We are selling our old motor home. Not sure what we will replace it with. Changes are comming.
Pay - I'm praying for your very special guy. Please let him know that my prayers are with you both, and all those taking care of his body.
Have a great week - praying for all of our sailors. ~~s~~

AmyM....Yes many of us know that feeling. Please feel free to come here and express your feeling. All will listen, understand and no one will judge you. Stay strong!
What part of Roseville are you in? We like to get together as a group at a little place on Foothill Blvd.
We are getting together on the 21st and we hope you can come out and join us, if for nothing us to get to know everyone.

Sorry I can't make it on the 12th. Thursdays are my Zumba nights. I will come on the 21st. I had a min-M&G with Mike's Mom, Marsha from Wastonsville. I met her in Santa Cruz Sunday evening before going to my brother's house. It was nice to see her again.

Cindy.....I hope you can clear your calendar. It would be great if you could bring your serger!
NV....I am going to have to pass on the 12th, husband is now schedule for surgery on the 11th and I feel I should be home with him for a few days until he is up and around on his own. Long story and I will tell you the details on the 21st.

Hello, I work in Rancho and would love to join the group on the 12th.
NV, my son is on the Philippine Sea, part of the carrier group with your son. They are based in Mayport, FL and have been pretty active.
I am going to try to clear my calendar for the 21st....and bring my serger with me. I look forward to reconnecting with the group!

Hi all, it has been a long time since I've been on N4Ms, busy life. I wanted to pop on and let everyone know that a Navy Mom from another group I'm in is coming into town Sept. 10-13 and we are planning a M&G Thursday evening (9/12) at 5pm or so (time is negotiable) at Brookfield's in Rancho Cordova (11135 Folsom Blvd., near Sunrise Blvd., right off Hwy. 50). Let me know if you are interested and available, it will be a fun party, and always the more the merrier!
Got the pillowcase project M&G on my calendar, looking forward to it!
Spring, which boat/ship is your Sailor on? Mine is on the USS George HW Bush, their underway timeline was about the same as what you mentioned...?
