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."

Thanks to the many moms and more that are here and ready to help when a sailor is in need! It is amazing to know that no matter where our sailors travel in the United States there is a mom there ready to rescue them with a hot meal, place to stay, or help to get back on the road!

To be added to the list send me (Susan mom to Niko) a friend request. Then you can send me a private message with your name, location and phone number. Then you are added to the list!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on May 13, 2011 at 8:21pm: If an email looks odd, never open it or click on a link...and if you forward stuff, delete all the old email addresses, and put your friends' addresses in the BCC box - simple steps prevent a lot of headaches down the road :)

Comment by Suzi-OH on May 13, 2011 at 7:24pm: I got the same thing from "jennifer" through a couple different groups on here.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on May 13, 2011 at 5:52pm: I did.

Comment by Pat L. in IL on May 13, 2011 at 5:50pm: Marcy, Did you report it to Admin.? They are very good at getting rid of spammers.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on May 13, 2011 at 5:23pm: I just received three emails from "Jennifer" advertising a job-search website. Since it came three times, I'm assuming it's spam and not from an actual person? In any case, a reminder that the N4M Community Guidelines state

May I post your prayer request on the Prayer Wall http://www.navyformoms.com/group/prayerwall?

Also, I don't know what state Ft. Gordon is in, but in addition to this page, you may want to join that state's page. In the meantime, I will be praying for Tim, for his medical care team, and for God to uplift the family in this time of need.

Comment by Suzi-OH on April 10, 2011 at 8:20pm: Submom - whew....many prayers to your fmaily. I'm not close, but if a card would be of any help, I'd be glad to send one.....just send an address privately.
