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 Steph, and wahoo! 1/2 way done. Im sure its easier cause you know your already half way through. Thanks extra support never hurts. It just hard. My husband left the day before I went into labor with our son. And I had a hard labor and I would have given anything to have him there. And I feel the same way now. I just know how much he is gonna miss. Im just scared that my son is not gonna know his daddy by the time he comes back.

Hi Samantha! Welcome to True to our Vows :) I'm also going though a deployment with my husband. We are actually 50% done with it...thankfully...we have a two year daughter together. He's on a guided missile cruiser. If you ever need someone to talk to, we're here. I try to get on here as much as my time allows, so keep in touch..

So I haven't been on here for a bit. But I'm still alive and kicking. I'm loving the California weather and I'm surviving our first deployment!! We only have a few more months to go and I'm anxious to see my husband again.
Only being here for five months..I'm now secretary of the FRG board for USS LAKE CHAMPLAIN! I love all of the wives I have met and looking forward to meeting a few more new ones. Our halfway party is coming up here soon and I can't wait to celebrate!
So how is everyone else doing???

Dear Friends,
I was going to wait until after the holidays but with my sailor coming home I have decided to up the timetable. I will be transitioning to a passive role on Navy For Moms.
1) Please drop in more often and spread the sailor news.
2) Remember this is a public site. What you post will be visible to all.
3) Please invite N4M members who are not members of a group to join. I know having friends in many groups has make a real difference in my life. Many new members will need the support of members who have been here longer and more experienced with being a Navy family.
I have been so very fortunate to meet so many wonderful people through Navy For Moms. My life is good. Same house, same husband, same job, same kids (no animals) – at this point in my life, it’s comforting. I am stepping back to concentrate on personal projects. I won’t be gone – just not available on a regular basis. I will stop by periodically to check up on things.
Best wishes to you and your family.
Bea

Where is everyone? Hey you young gals out there, come in and post. You don't want to hear from some old lady like me (I am going to be 62 on Monday). I am going to be transitioning away from N4M in the coming months. I need to concentrate on some personal projects, so I can get back to my art work which I have neglected for 4 decades. My sons are 26 (the sailor) & 22 (still a college student). I have always worked full time except for two years back in '72 & '73. We both plan to work until we drop or until we physically can't work anymore but I have to start going through 30 years of accumulated stuff (since my husband and I got married). I don't think we are going to move anywhere but if boys end up in another location, we might move. I am just tired of all this junk in the garage.
You gals need to come in here and talk to each other.

I could hear the F-18s in the distance roaring from AT&T Park back to Lemoore after the flyover to start the World Series.

wow. this group is totally dead! Sorry I haven't been on here. My husband deployed a few weeks ago, so I have been trying to keep my mind busy so the time would go by faster, and surprisingly, October is coming to an end quicker than I thought!!! My husband is doing fine. He is enjoying seeing new places and he says its beautiful. I wish I was there to see them with him. He says he's having fun, its just the sleep he is lacking but he can't wait to come home. Other than that, I am doing great. I'm just keeping myself busy and thankfully my daughter keeps my days pretty busy. =)
How is everyone here doing?
