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."

haha - not a problem - looks like you got it deleted!  I was just down in Corpus Christi about a year ago talking to some from the base that were about to go IA.  Wish we knew you then and could have met! 

Texas' Moms was the first state group started on N4M's!!  I also think it is the largest group besides boot camp and A school!

What is your son going to do in the Navy?  Mine is a MA (Master at Arms) and only has one more year on a five year contract.
