Howdy fellow Navy Moms!!
Hello there Mamas!!
Of course, I am new here.. :) My daughter arrived at base 12:30 am Wed... Eeekkkk!! My mind is RACING out of control as I am sure you all understand.
The way I figure it, no news is good news!! Today is day 7 and I have not received a phone call so she must be holding strong!!! So PROUD!
Her recruiter gave me her info.. 12/356 though I have not received my form yet, or any word from her either. Anyone else have a child or loved one in the same division/ship?
I look forward to getting to know you and appreciate this site!!
Sherri AKA Peanut!

Welcome. I am pretty new as well. My son left 2 days before yours! I got his form letter yesterday, and mailed 7 letters today! I know this will be good for him, so I will get through the "missing him". You will feel relieved once you get the letter. I will cross my fingers that you get it tomorrow. Best wishes.

To all newbies,
First - when you get your form letter (sample in New Moms Stop Here), look for the date for your recruit's PIR (Pass In Review - graduation). When you find that, join the group for this PIR date. Here is the latest group.
PIR: October 7, 2011 TG 47
If this is not the date, then a subsequent group will be started. Maybe one of you ladies will step up and take charge. Don't worry there will be many experienced moms to guide you (diannep, fireteamleaderwife, lemonelephant and more).
Next keep the following in mind whenever you log on:
1. Check your personal page - click the "MY PAGE" tab on menu bar above on a regular basis. On your personal page, on the left just underneath you profile photo, you'll the words "Blog Posts" (the number of blogs you have started), "Discussions" (the number discussions you have commented on), "Event" (the number of Events you have RSVPed for), "Groups" (the number of groups you belong to) etc. you can access your groups, In the middle section, you'll find activities on groups you started and comments other members have left for you.
2. Check your SIGN IN/SIGN OUT box on the upper right. This a always visible on your screen to provide quick access to check your messages, friend requests and access settings (the place to go to change your USERNAME, password, profile and email settings).
3. To go to your groups, click "GROUPS" tab, then "My Groups" (in small letters on left) or access from your own page.
4. If you are getting way too many email notifications, just click "Stop Following" wherever you see it. That will start to notifications. Be careful if you use Setting/Email to control the notifications; otherwise, you won't get any and won't know if someone has sent your a friends request or if there is an important message from one of your group(s). Remember the email notifications are just that, if you get an email notification and part of a message is visible, you can't reply to that message by replying to the email notifcation. You have to log on the Navy For Moms, then click on INBOX. A link is normally provided with you notification.
5. For your convenience, we have other reference material in an area that is easy to. Go to New Moms Stop Here and look at the PAGES (there are 10). You'll find Boot Camp videos, link to RTC, acronyms and more.
6. SEARCH function. This should be your best friend. You can find just anything if you use this function (for searching for members, groups, discussions or blogs).
