This site is for mothers of kids in the U.S. Navy and for Moms who have questions about Navy life for their kids.

FIRST TIME HERE?

FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO GET STARTED:

Choose your Username.  For the privacy and safety of you and/or your sailor, NO LAST NAMES ARE ALLOWED, even if your last name differs from that of your sailor (please make sure your URL address does not include your last name either).  Also, please do not include your email address in your user name. 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!

Join groups!  Browse for groups for your PIR date, your sailor's occupational specialty, "A" school, assigned ship, homeport city, your own city or state, and a myriad of other interests. Jump in and introduce yourself!  Start making friends that can last a lifetime.

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."

Dear Elle,
I know this may sound petty and silly but US moms really enjoy have "page #'s" for our groups, blogs, dicussions etc.
Not only for reading back to the pages from the day earlier but also as a "reference" to a comment, picture or information!
I am asking that N4Ms put our "page numbers" back where they belong!

D.

Please Moms "YA" or "NA' thxs!

Ok Elle, it been awhile WHEN oh WHEN..and yes I am griping!!! ♥

WHOOHOO...WE have spoken AGAIN!
Comment by Vickie - Rooney's mom on November 19, 2009 at 10:32pm
Please bring back the page numbers - I can't find anything. AND, it seems to be taking a day for a posting on a "subgroup" to show up. So when you read the heading and it says "5 hours ago" it doesn't show up until the next day. I like instant gratification.

Please, please please bring back page #s. I can't navigate the comments anymore and some of our special needs sailors are on page #?. Can't find them either anymore.

Hey Elle, You said we were getting our page numbers back. Did Ning think if they stalled everyone would just accept the change??????????? Well, it is still very hard to navigate and if you try to find a previous post, forget it. Please, Elle, put a burr under their saddle and get the page numbers back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quick note to everyone. The time counter next to "Latest Activity" refers to ANY activity - new member joining, a member leaving in addition to new activity under the Comment Wall and Discussion Forum. Comments do show up immediately. The next time you see the time counter different than the latest post, check the NUMBER next to Members (it'll be higher normally) or the membership list, you'll probably find someone new has joined the group.
IT ABOUT TIME THAT WE GET THE NUMBERED PAGES BACK!

Agreed ---- we want our page numbers back, please!

I'm trying ladies! I just sent another note. It looks like they only rolled it out in some areas of the site, but we're working to have the option to skip to specific pages on all areas of the site.
