Go to "Settings" above to set your Username.  While there, complete your Profile so you can post and share photos and videos of your Sailor and share stories with other moms!

Make sure to read our Community Guidelines and this Navy Operations Security (OPSEC) checklist - loose lips sink ships!

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."

Welcome to Molly's Adopt A Sailor! Our new adoption was announced yesterday. You can find the information in the "Discussion Forum" on Molly's group page. If you need help or have questions, please do not hesitate to send me a message.

I see you are in Oak Lawn. I live in Carol Stream. You should consider also joining "Chicago Moms". There are a bunch of Navy moms who get together frequently and have a really fun time!

Thanks for joining us. Pat

Let me know if you didn't get the info from me. Here is the link to my website and you can place your order there. Please spread the word and tell everyone in your PIR about the ribbons. If the different divisions decide to do scarves as a way of spotting each other from far away let me know. I have them in pretty much every color and you can get them with an anchor and/or DIV on them and some people even get them with their Sailors name. they are also on my website so be sure and check those out. http://www.uniquememorymakers.com/
