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.

While there, complete your Profile so you can post and share photos and videos of your Sailor and share stories with other moms!

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."

WELCOME to PIR 05/03/2013! PLEASE See the PAGES section for Informational Posts about BC and PIR. PAGES is underneath the Members Photos. PLEASE scroll down this page here to find the Comment Box to post a reply to the PIR GROUP.

CLICK MEforN4M's Community GuidelinesandOPSEC.

~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 ellen0502 on May 4, 2013 at 2:26am: You have all now graduated from BC for loved ones. CONGRATULATIONS!!

I have changed the name of the group to Alumni of PIR.....

Please continue to come back to this group and let everyone know how your sailor is doing. Some of you will have sailors that may continue through the next few steps of their journey, and they may even end up in the fleet together.

There are also groups for your sailors rating (job), their ships etc. Join those groups too to connect with others.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 3, 2013 at 11:25pm: Congrats on the letters and calls. I know it makes you feel so much better :)

Does anyone in this group live in the central FL/Gulf Coast area? New Port Richey, Tampa, Clearwater, Orlando? Would you like to come to a Navy Mom Meet and Greet On Friday May 10 at 7:00pm at Rusty Bellies in Tarpon Springs at the Sponge docks? I would love to meet you all, hang out, and talk about our Sailors. Feel free to bring someone if you like. Also please join my FL facebook group so you can stay connected to other FL moms/families and find out about other meet and Greets in the future. We will be there again the last week of June/first week of July and will host a Meet and Greet Party then as well and host a Navy/Military Scrapbook Make and Take party as well. I love meeting my Navy Mom friends :)https://www.facebook.com/groups/147079298773780/

Here is the link for the event to RSVP

Comment by ellen0502 on May 3, 2013 at 8:35pm: The only way you can get that info is from him so... If you know what time he is leaving from RTC to the airport, you can leave a the same time. When you get to the airport the sailors will have to check in first, and once they are checked in the are basically free (no they can't leave the airport etc.) until their flight leaves. They can then meet up with you and go back to the ticket counter for the gate passes. Hope that makes sense

Comment by MamaKrayKray on May 3, 2013 at 4:52pm: Yes!!! Best hug ever & best day ever!! Got a question (of course) My sailor was told that we should call airlines to get a guest pass before he gets to airport but the airline wants his reservation number & it is at the base. Now what?

Comment by ellen0502 on May 3, 2013 at 11:57am: Happy PIR day!!!!! Here comes the best hug ever!!

Comment by CatMom509 on May 3, 2013 at 11:07am: Happy Friday Everyone!!
