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."

A Round Rock, TX recruiter told me about this site on our first visit. He said it would answer my questions alot better than he could. Boy was he ever right! What he didn't tell me was that I would have the most wonderful, knowledgable and experienced support group ever.

I found it on on a television commercial. The day my son left for boot camp I went on the site for the first time. That was July 8, 2009 and I check in about everyday. My son is on the USS Essex and I often share information I learn here with him.

I first found the website by seeing a bill board in the city I live. I would have thought the Recruiter would have mentioned it but he never did.

When my son said he was interested in the Navy I started researching every website I could. I knew the official website was going to be a marketing piece so I thought the parents, espeicially moms, would be a more objective source. I searched for Navy moms and checked various websites. N4Ms seemed the most organized and thorough. I learned more from this website than anyplace else AND my son has considered the information here pretty credible...one group lead to another and now I check this site before FB or personal emails each day.
