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.

FIRST TIME HERE?

FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO GET STARTED:

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."

CLICK ME forN4M'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".

The Weather Widget is interactive. Click the green dot on the top bar and drag it along the to change the time. Click LIVE to go back to current time. Click on the days to change to that day or expand out to six days.

Comment by DaytonaBeachMom on February 24, 2013 at 11:15am: No Keel yet, but did get the dvd about the same time as you.

Comment by debbiel on February 24, 2013 at 10:03am: Has anyone received the Keel (yearbook) yet. I got the graduation dvd about 2 weeks ago but have not received the Keel.

Comment by Ray ray on February 13, 2013 at 5:06pm: doing great!!! when he got to come home for a week OMG you can say my life was upside down! it was so odd having him home with the baby and him freaking out about holding her because he was so scared he was going to hold her wrong my life was super busy that week lol my husband is doing great in CS school then its off to Sub school!! i'm just super excited when he comes home to live she will be almost crawling and he can chase her around mommy will get a brake!! she is 3 months old and all ready sitting up :)

Comment by Rickysgirl23 on January 29, 2013 at 2:06am: I can still remember how I felt from the very first day until I saw him again. It has been great getting to talk to him everyday and Skype every night. He will be home in less than 2 weeks and we can't wait to move on to the next stage. Already trying to prepare myself for deployment! Hope you are doing well too!

Comment by Zman'smom on January 28, 2013 at 7:30pm: It's been a month since PIR!! Wow!! Time is flying by already! I hope you all and your sailors are doing well. :)

Comment by Ray ray on January 11, 2013 at 4:21am: hello i got to take my husband home for a week he is still in there waiting for VA to start school. i was given a number to call to tell them he wrote down the wrong address to send me his year book and DvD but it is just a busy signal i really want that stuff any ideas?

Comment by dahlinka on January 6, 2013 at 8:32am: I was very disappointed with sarge services, on the most important day, graduation morning, he stood up me and a few more people and never showed up at the agreed time to pick us up and take us to the ceremony , I lucked out and rode with another family that had one space in their sevice car, I don't know how the others menaced, when I called sarge he claimed the road were slippery, funny, but every one ales made it, and there was no snow on the road. You are better of using the shuttle offers by your hotel! And going back to the air port find a cheaper service by GO AIR PORT EXPRESS PHONE # (773) 247-1200. You share a ride but they showed on time.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 6, 2013 at 7:32am: Sorry to get to this so late :-)

I just wanted to say on behalf of all of the PIR Group Veteran Moms thank you for allowing us to journey with you through your BC experience!

I have added "ALUMNI OF" to the title of your PIR group and you are all welcome to come back here and keep in touch. It is your PIR group :-)

If there is any way we can help you further with the site or guide you to Groups etc. please feel free to contact us.

Blessings to you and yours!
