Welcome to
Navy For Moms

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

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."

~OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance.

~N4M’s also has Community Guidelines just like any other social media.

~Please take the time to read the OPSEC and N4M’s Community Guidelines.

~A quick note here, from the N4M’s CG’s:

• Don’t Jeopardize the Safety of Our Sailors: Remember OPSEC (Operational Security) (Don’t Sink Ships With Loose Lips) This site and all content posted on it are viewable to everyone on the Internet. This doesn’t mean you can’t share things about your Sailor – but too many details can put Sailors in harm’s way. The following are examples of red flags and should not be shared within this community either by posting or sending via a Group message:

• Sailors’ last names. This includes your username if you share the same last name as your son or daughter.

Some Suggestions:

~If your last name is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended for you to use in your username for your own personal security. This is your option. It is also not a good idea to use an email address as your username for personal security reasons.

~First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember, everyone can see it and someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. Again, your option

~It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends"

Comment by B'sMomLa(ship 11 div 090) on February 8, 2014 at 1:47pm: vkat - that was a mess in Dallas. note to self: avoid flights to Dallas in the winter. glad you made it in too. Its been a great weekend.

Comment by BeachBunny on February 8, 2014 at 2:48am: Awesome feedback Mommas...enjoy your sailors!!

Yup, that's the way I drove into PIR, the U-turn works great had many cars follow me....by-passed the line....glad it worked for you too!

BlueForever...you're welcome....:) Enjoy every minute....

Comment by MennoMom (Ship 11 DIV 090) on February 8, 2014 at 12:13am: Diannep: we spotted our sailor when they paraded past! It was almost overwhelming. And as expected, he had reason for not getting the call in. What an amazing, wonderful day! We have a few hours in the morning to see him again before we start driving, hopefully ahead of the snow. Thanks for your help and support.

Comment by diannep on February 8, 2014 at 12:01am: TogaMom: Thanks so much for confirming the "short cut" into RTC. I was hoping that it still worked! :-) Glad it did!

Comment by BlueForever on February 7, 2014 at 11:45pm: BeachBunny - Thanks for the advice! My son is flying out of O'Hare....so, I'm glad I didn't cancel our reservations! Got to see my son today...and again in the morning! Life is Good! :)

Comment by Nelbie on February 7, 2014 at 6:15pm: Congratulations to everyone Sailors & families what an amazing day ! Truly unforgettable.

We are staying at the Ramada Waukegan and I am looking for any families that are heading over to Midway airport early AM. My Sailor will be there before 6am. Possible ride share ? We are flying out of O-Hare in the afternoon, and I have the airport transfers covered. Just want to be able to see our Sailor in the AM @ Midway. Thought I would check on this site first. Please let me know. I am available to depart anytime it will be for 2. Thanks again for all the support and excellent advice. Looking forward to maintaining in contact thru this site. : )

Comment by TogaMom on February 7, 2014 at 5:15pm: This was the best advice ever, thank you diannep!

For those who want to drive, stay to the left on Buckley (main drag to RTC)...line of cars will be on your right. Bypass RTC...turn around at/near the train station which is right past RTC. Head back down Buckley from the opposite direction. It is an easy left turn into RTC then...no wait!

It was amazing!

Comment by CatMom509 on February 7, 2014 at 11:44am: I'd love to hear how the Basket Project went for Sarge at his Meet & Greet when anyone gets a chance!!

Have an AWESOME PIR weekend!! Blessings!!!

Comment by CatMom509 on February 7, 2014 at 11:41am: Happy Friday!!

     "Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord

       for His goodness, and for His wonderful works

       to the children of men!"

                                                      Psalm 107:8

Comment by VKat on February 7, 2014 at 10:16am: B's mom. I'm so glad you made it. I think you were on our plane in DFW(2301) that was canceled. We made it too.
