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."

Say Hello To Your Two New N4M Admins!
It's been a little over a year since I took over as admin of this community. Hard to believe we had less than 9,000 members then - we have over three times that amount today!
I've had a wonderful experience, but alas, this my last day as your admin. I'll be moving on to new responsibilities, but I'm leaving the community in the hands of two capable ladies - Colleen and Elizabeth.
They've been training with me over the past few weeks and starting this afternoon, you'll notice that they'll be responding to your messages. Nothing else has changed, you just have two new people to talk to.
We've recorded a quick video for all of you so please reach out and welcome both of them!
Fair winds and following seas,
Elle

Ahhh Elle, sure gonna miss you too! I, too, am one of the founder members from "way back when"! Seems only yesterday when you took over for Catherine, and now it is your turn to pass the baton to Elizabeth and Colleen! Wherever the high sea winds may take you, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Come back once in a while and just "chat"!! C & E: welcome on aboard mateys and hope your transitions remain light!! ( And yes, another one who would LOVE to get our page numbers back! Any word yet when Ning will set this up?!!!)
