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."

N4M! The thought that all Navy Moms from all over have joined together by this site!!! AMAZING!
I am a new Navy Mom who's only fear was not having enough knowledge. I can honestly now say "Thank You" to each and every N4M for your advise, experience, thoughts and concerns.
I have only been on this site a fews days and just from browsing I have seen days, months, years of comforting support and I am blessed to have found this site at the begining of our new life as a Navy family.
My son enters Great Lakes Boot Camp on November 16, 2010. He has been assinged AO and will continue A school in Pensicola right after PIR. HOW PROUD I AM!!!!
I have been on this site since he came home with a signed contract on April 13th and I know that this experience will bring out the best in him. (Not that he already is'nt) LOL!!!
My goal is to now meet as many N4M's as I can, especially anyone who have a loved one starting the same time as my son!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard about the IYAOYAS! How funny! Thanks for reaching out to me. How long has your daughter been an AO. Does she like it?Do you get to see her often?

How exciting! You must be extremely proud of her. This is so brand new to me so I am just absorbing as much as I can. I just set up a group for November 2010 boot camp in hopes to meet moms at my stage of the game. Please join! I would love to keep in contact with you knowing that my son is heading in the same direction of your daughter.
