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."

Please feel free to come join the Beyond BC group. I have been really busy with family things, but we stay fairly active in that group and can help answer questions if you need.

Be sure to join the HC groups on this site. Also, in case I am busy and miss sending this to you, be sure to come join us in the Beyond BC group after PIR. - Beyond BC - Navy For Moms (ning.com)
This is a group of us former BC Moms and Loved Ones who have been around since 2020 and some older, as I was trying to have a place for anyone to come stick around, instead of just going off to a random group that may not be as active.

bhmom - I reached out to my friend PartyofSeven to see if she was still active on the site, but I also posted links to the various HM (Corpsman) groups on this site. The best thing to do, is join one that looks interesting and post questions on the comment wall area, and see if you get replies.

I am on and off this site for another week with vacation so if I don't reply right away, I will do my best to connect back with you. Otherwise, the main BC group page is the place to chat.

bhmom - You are most welcome!! Please don't feel bad. This site is old school, set up by the Navy for Moms to find information, but it has not really been updated for viewing easily on mobile devices. Some people can't even see the main room chat to post. It is a lot easier to navigate this site on a computer in my opinion. I don't even hardly try to post from my phone.
It looks like you found your way to the Comment Wall on the BC Mom group page. That is the best place to post.
Since I am on your page though, I would encourage your daughter to make sure she gets some swimming time in, ask her DEP recruiters what she needs to know about floating and to make sure she has proper form for running to prevent shin splints or fractures and can get her run time down. The running is probably a lot harder than the floating.

Welcome Aboard!! I replied to your message in the main room chat. I see you have also joined the BC Mom group. Be sure to post a hello and most of your comments there. More of our members will be notified of your message and able to reply
This site is best views on a computer, so if you are on a mobile device, we recommend you put it in desktop mode. Then you can see the page layout better. When you go to the group page, scroll down past the information section, past the Discussion area and then you will see the Comment Wall. That is the best place to post your questions.

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!!
