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

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."

I am still waiting on payments from several and as soon as those payments arrive I will ship your ribbons. There is still plenty of time to order and get them in time for PIR.

You can see more pics on my page here on N4M's or on my facebook page.

Thanks so much, have a wonderful weekend, Lora
Folks, if you'd like to be included in the spread sheet with everyone's contact information, please see the discussion that PMSing has posted regarding the template. All you'll need to do is fill it out and return it to either her or to me at: vareporter@gmail.com.
Looking forward to meeting everyone in person!
What an honor to receive an award. That is something your family will never forget. I heard someone mention a meet and greet by "Sarge" but I never knew what they were talking about. Where did you see that information? We're going to work on getting this list compiled so we have a way of keeping track of each other, if you so wish. My husband and I still keep in touch with friends from the Navy that we've known for almost 20 years now. I can tell you that your military family will mean so much to you when it comes to deployment time. And since we are all moms, and not dependents, we sort of get ignored by the Navy. Which is fine. It's not their job to babysit us moms. But I'm just saying that groups like this are so important.
