Welcome to

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."

N4M's Community GuidelinesandOPSEC.

~OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance.

~N4M’s also has Community Guidelines just like any other social media.

~Please take the time to read the OPSEC and N4M’s Community Guidelines.

~A quick note here, from the N4M’s CG’s:

• Don’t Jeopardize the Safety of Our Sailors: Remember OPSEC (Operational Security) (Don’t Sink Ships With Loose Lips) This site and all content posted on it are viewable to everyone on the Internet. This doesn’t mean you can’t share things about your Sailor – but too many details can put Sailors in harm’s way. The following are examples of red flags and should not be shared within this community either by posting or sending via a Group message:

• Sailors’ last names. This includes your username if you share the same last name as your son or daughter.

Some Suggestions:

~If your last name is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended for you to use in your username for your own personal security. This is your option. It is also not a good idea to use an email address as your username for personal security reasons.

~First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember, everyone can see it and someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. Again, your option

~It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends"

Comment by KAM Mom on May 18, 2015 at 1:34pm: Well our Sailors are now scattered all over the place. It is nice to be in the same state as our Nuke Sailor and only about two hours away. He even had some liberty yesterday and had time with his GF too who is living about half hour away. Next is a few days of indoc. and classes to begin in June, I think. Let me know if your new Sailor is there also.

Comment by CatMom509 on May 17, 2015 at 5:09pm: Blessed Sunday!

     "In peace I will lie down and sleep, for You alone,

      O Lord, will keep me safe."

                                                               Psalm 4:8

Comment by CatMom509 on May 15, 2015 at 12:07pm: Happy Friday!!

     "We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy.

      And the other nations said, 'What amazing things

      the Lord has done for them.' "

                                                            Psalm 126:2

     "Good news from far away is like cold water

      to the thirsty."

                                                Proverbs 25:25

Comment by diannep on May 14, 2015 at 5:30pm: Oh my oh my.....I definitely need a NAP! Starting over.....enjoy PIR, enjoy Sarge's MeetandGreet, and especially enjoy hugging on your new sailor tomorrow! There! Finally got it right! Going to take that nap now..... :-)

Comment by diannep on May 14, 2015 at 5:27pm: GOD, not GO! :-)

Comment by diannep on May 14, 2015 at 5:26pm: You are very welcome, DepthCharge4! We N4Moms veterans love helping on here! And I totally agree with what you said below about Go. ! Funny how he places people in our paths at times, just when we need them!

Comment by DepthCharge4 on May 14, 2015 at 12:57pm: KAM MOM, I echo your thoughts on trusting God's sovereignty in all situations. At one point I started to doubt and panic when I read others' comments about the PACT program my daughter chose while waiting to strike an HM rate. After surrendering again, God led me to others that greatly encouraged this mother's heart. He IS good and always does what is best for His children. CatMom509, thank you for encouraging us every morning with Scripture; I hope to visit more frequently on the Christian Moms page. Diannep, thank you for faithfully checking in each day and getting us started right. I appreciate all your encouragement and advice along the way! Fair winds and following seas to all!
