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."

Hello everyone, I am new to this site. Our son has joined the Navy, just not sure what avenue he will get there. He has enlisted, waiting to hear if he receives an ROTC ride or receive an appointment to the Naval Academy. We are supportive of him and very proud of him to want to serve our country. I look foreward to getting to know you.

CHECK YOUR FRIENDS LIST THESE ARE NOT REAL MOMS

You have Kayleigh Hall and/or Gloria Lopez on your "Friends" list. We suspect their profiles are bogus. Please remove them ASAP by clicking on their profiles and clicking Remove as Friend. PLEASE PASS THIS ON GROUPS YOU BELONG TO.
