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.

Good morning all! Just wanted to say that my son passed his final board and is waiting for the paperwork to go through for his pinning ceremony. He now has his FMF pin. I am so proud of him. Have a great week.

Love it! FMF Corpsmen are up to ANY challenge :) Naval Medical Center Portsmouth Sailors HM2 (FMF) Tyler Harris, Staff Education and Training, left, and HM2 (FMF) Carl Norman, Command Fitness, show their support for Sexual Assault Awareness Month: NMCP Hosts 3rd Annual 'Walk a Lap in Her Heels'. "The idea for the event was taken from the nationally recognized Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Foundation, which began in 2001. Its mission is to give men an opportunity to raise awareness in their communities, to take sexual violence seriously and work toward eliminating it."

medic mom my son just finished 3 1/2 years with the Marines last May and I was so happy to hear that his contract was up and he has decided to go Blue.. I am very proud of all of our sons and daughters, but this mom has a horrible time sleeping because of his deployments... If it wasn't for N4Ms and the friends I have made here I would have gone crazy for sure..
Drama Soul - So true we all have to remember to pay it forward I for one have to be reminded ever so often and my BFF ( that I met on N4Ms ) Marcy reminded me just today : ) I have to stop lurking ...

Tenn Navy Mom...My son wants to be deployed and stay green side. He loves it and he wants to earn that FMF pin. That was the reason he joined the Navy, I think. Sooo...I had better get used to it.
I am very proud of him. He recently passed an Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics exam which was way beyond his experience level. He was one of only 3 Corpsman from the MSW (MultiService Ward) to pass the test. They had two classes and no experience but managed to pass it so I know he isn't afraid of hard work! When I talked with him last (it was really a text exchange) he was taking training in the Pediatric and Neonatal ALS and will also take the ACLS (Advanced Cardiac) test before the Summer. He said as long as he is on a base, he is going to learn as much as he can. I do know, though, that if there is a possible deployment when he picks orders again, that's what he will choose. When that happens, I will need all the support I can get!!
Well, we actually have sunshine in the Northwest so I am going to go out and get some Vitamin D! :-)
