This site is for mothers of kids in the U.S. Navy and for Moms who have questions about Navy life for their kids.

FIRST TIME HERE?

FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO GET STARTED:

Choose your Username.  For the privacy and safety of you and/or your sailor, NO LAST NAMES ARE ALLOWED, even if your last name differs from that of your sailor (please make sure your URL address does not include your last name either).  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."

What is your Sailor's rating (job/specialty) and/or where is he stationed (what vessel, if one)? There may be groups I can direct you to

You may also want to edit your "About me:" section.

Francine, I see you have changed your Username so that it no longer contains your last name; you also need to change the URL to this page. Make change 2 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link) to take care of that. (If you are using a Smart phone, you will need to switch to Desktop View to make this change.) Also make change 3 while you are there so that this page is no longer open to EVERYONE (Anyone) with access to the web. There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes. Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP code to one that is not easily associated with your Sailor.

I'm not sure what others will say, but I send my daughter chocolate. I did during the 3 years she was in and I still do to the Bush. M&Ms will be fine.  One Halloween I asked for requests and gave them everything from smarties, skittles, tootsie rolls and whatever kind of chocolate they requested.  Don't think I send a box without some kind of cookie(s) that has chocolate in them.

(FYI- I did send a friend request earlier.)

I don't think the style of the wallet matters.  Not even sure about the color having to be black since it is "hidden" and not outside their uniform.  Why not consider shopping with your sailor after PIR and let him pick it out?  That way, you can be sure that he gets what he wants???

Just a thought!  They have a nice big mall there (Gurnee) and there are other stores....and if you decide to go into Chicago, there are even more selections!

Glad you got the info!  :-)

I just sent the info to you in a friend request, I think?  Did you get it?  If so, don't hit ACCEPT or the info I sent will disappear!  Let me know if you didn't get it!
