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."

Comment by Texas Sailor Mom on January 8, 2019 at 12:36pm: Good morning, I am from Texas but my sailor son re-enlisted and now has shore duty in Annapolis, Maryland. He has been there for a couple of weeks, barracks are in the process of being remodeled and he is looking for a place to rent. Please, if anyone has information where he can rent as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The short of it about the website.

Navy for Moms has a new agency in control, and it is a hosted website. The membership cap for this website is 100,000, and that cap was hit in April.

The membership cap could be increased, but along with the increase for members comes a huge increase in monthly cost.The decision was made by the agency with the Navy to delete inactive members, freeing up room for thousands (if not tens of thousands) new members.

If you look at the column to the left on this page you will see new members arriving! :)

There is a group of us, starting in October, and with much work from B'sNukeMoM⚓️MM, that have been in direct contact with each other, with the ad agency and the Navy powers that be. We have been given admin privileges, and are working along with the agency to get things up and running again.

If you are in another group and the "warning" is not posted, please feel free to do so. We are trying to hit all the groups etc, but there are literally hundreds of them. Our fingers are moving as fast as they can. LOL

Good things are coming!

Comment by NancyJo (CVN70) 1 hour ago: Is everyone on this site aware that if you have not posted in a long time you might get deleted? N4M hasn't been taking new members in a long time but through the efforts of one of the Nuke moms, we have new life. The N4M site tops out at 100,000 members and right now there is a waiting list to join of 3000+. I can't remember the date exactly that you would have had to post in order to stay on, but I recommend that if you want to stay on N4Ms and you haven't posted in a while, please do so.

Comment by therevbev on June 4, 2016 at 8:58am: Just a reminder that if you aren't on Facebook, there are those of us who check here regularly. Welcome aboard.

Comment by lori on September 20, 2015 at 2:42pm: Welcome Amy! As Colleen wrote most of the activity is over on the Maryland Navy mom's on FB. Are you the Amy that asked to join on there? I'm having a brain fart- !

Comment by ColleenE'smom on September 18, 2015 at 5:33am: Welcome Amy! If you are on Facebook look up Maryland Navy moms, that is used more then this site.

Comment by ADA on September 17, 2015 at 7:59pm: Hi Everyone! i'm Amy and I live in Rosedale. My son just swore in today. He'll be in DEP until he graduates high school in June, and he leaves for RTC on 7/6/16. I'm so happy for him, and a nervous wreck at the same time.

Comment by lori on August 1, 2015 at 11:31am: Welcome to the 2 new moms! As the revbev mentioned most of the 'action' is on the FB Maryland navy moms. Come on over if you haven't already! I'm one of the admins for that group so if I see your name [though it might be different than what you use on here] I'll add you to our group. Just request membership!

I live in Olney and my son has been in the navy for 5 years. He is stationed in SD.

Amy- you will be surprised how quickly the time goes by! Before you know it you will be going to his PIR! Crying happy tears at how much he's grown up. He has chosen a wonderful path to be on! All the best to you and your son!
