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."

Hello.

Thought I'd give you a hand with deleting the Photo.

~Look down at the bottom right just underbeath the Photo box. There is a link that says View All. Left click it.

~This will open up your My Photos page. All of your photos will show.

~Left click the name of the pic (directly underneath it) and that pic will open up by itself.

~Look at the top right just above the pic and you will see two tabs, Options and Add .

~Click Options.

~From there choose Delete Photo.

Hope that helps :-)

I purchased my blue ribbons from Lala Ribbon Queen; who is also a Navy mom. She was absolutely fantastic. She worked with me through pay pal although she does accept checks via the mail, and assured me that my ribbons would reach me prior to graduation. If anyone is interested in a great Keepsake Ribbon to commensurate your loved one's graduation,  please visit her web site. The ribbons will have your loved one's name, graduation date and division.

Nae - Kiaira's Mom,

Thank you for the friend request!!!

No dear NavyMom, you are NOT overdoing it!!!!  Many moms feel the same way - terrified that they will miss that call.  Forwarding your home calls to your cell phone is just what you need to do!!!! 

It is hard to always keep it together for other children who are still at home when one leaves for bootcamp.  I had twin girls and the youngest of the two went right out of high school.  Her sister choose to go to college.  I tried not to show the college daughter how hard I was handling her sister leaving because I knew she was having her own hard time being separated from her twin for the first time in their lives!!!!  That's why we are here - - to help support you so you can help support not only your sailor, but your other children as well.  Both of my daughters ended up serving.  The college girl is now an Officer!!

Oh, and I'm with the Moms of Daughters 2 group.  Long story as to why there are two groups with almost the same name, but I do think we are a much more active group.  Stop by and let us know how you are doing!!!!!!!

Nae - Kiaira's Mom,

I see you joined the Moms of Daughters 2 group and I want to welcome you!!  We are a close, friendly, supportive group of Moms and look forward to getting to know you and your sailor.  I see you are new to N4Ms and your daughter is in boot camp now?  Please feel free to jump in and join our chats.  You can ask any questions you may have, talk freely about your feelings, fears or concerns, or just chat about life.  We are all in different phases of our daughters Naval careers and we are always there for each other!!!   Again, Welcome Aboard!!!!!

Thanks for the friend request.  We are just beginning the process of making the final decision to join.  My daughter Kennedi is a Senior this year in high school and is about 90% sure about the Navy.  I would love to talk with you about the whole process leading up to the final decision.  I am trying to not influence her decision.  

Jodi
