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."

Post graduation- personal belongings?

My niece was in Ship 6 Div 120 and graduated last week. We haven’t heard from her. Just wondering if anyone else knows a recent graduate and have you heard from them?

Post Graduation - Personal Belongings??

My niece graduated this past week and we haven’t heard anything from her. When will she get her personal belongings back? The FAQ on the Navy website says they get their belongings back the day before graduation and not hearing anything from her after she has graduated has me concerned.

Hi Kati, I posted a reply on your discussion. I think I replied to the one that you had posted in the BC Mom group. It looks like you might have asked it elsewhere as well.

Kati - I saw you had liked CarmenJS' blog - BC ending. We are glad you have joined the Navy4Mom website. It is great that you are there to support your niece/nephew. 

B'sNukeMom gave you the link below (click on the blue letters that say boot camp moms) to our BC Mom group. That is our largest main group on this site. It is where we have a lot of information about BC and we help out those that are new to BC and answer your questions down in our comment area on that main group page.

Welcome to NAVYforMoms.com!   

Head to “Settings” on the main page right away to add a profile image (no last names visible, please) and complete your Profile. Then - and this is important! - read these Community Guidelines and this Operations Security (OPSEC) Checklist, for the safety and privacy of all our Sailors.

Then jump right in!  Browse around the site and check out the groups and the information in their Discussion Forums.

Join this group for boot camp moms, where you'll also find a group for your Pass in Review (graduation) date; and this one for PIR Reference Information.  

Get a head start during boot camp by joining groups for, and learning about, your Sailor's occupational specialty and "A" School; and later your Sailor's duty station and/or Navy ship and homeport. You can also join groups for your own state, region or home town and interests from getting ready for deployment to care package ideas!

Please say Hi when you join a group, and feel free to ask any and all questions - everyone was new once, and there is no "dumb" question.  This site was created by the U.S. Navy just for you, and we look forward to getting to know you and your Sailor.  Welcome to the NAVY family - we're so glad you're here!!
