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."

IF THIS SITE IS RUNNING SLOW OR FREEZES UP, check to see if you are connected on CHAT.
Disconnecting from CHAT will solve the problem. When you first log on to Navy 4 Moms, look at the bottom right of your screen. You'll see either a red dot or a green dot. A green dot mean you are connected on CHAT, a red dot mean you are not. You should surf the N4M site after you DISCONNECT on CHAT. So if you see the green light, click on it (you'll see a "connected to chat" with a check in front of the words. Place you mouse over the "check" symbol and click. The red dot should appear. I go through my whole session disconnected from chat. At the end if I have time, I go into chat for awhile. But I always make sure I am disconnected before I log out of Navy 4 Moms; otherwise, the upload will take forever when you log on the next time.

If you need a quick answer, some one in CHAT will know or be able to provide the answer or a link. Just remember to disconnect while you are visiting all your groups and looking at all the discussions. You can always connect again if you go back to chat. I go into chat looking for friends right before I am ready to log off. I believe this is happening because NING has installed a new module for Chat.

I am using Firefox - it's slow when Chat is connected. I really don't see a problem as long as people remember to disconnect from Chat when they are not actually chatting. I flip back and forth all the time (connect/disconnect). It's really no big deal. I connect, if I see a friend there, I stay and chat (private or in main chat), if I don't see a friend, I disconnect, go on to some other task and repeat throughout the day. Other apps also slow down the site (such as playlist.com, the calendars apps, the temperature apps, large file jpg photos).
