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!

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.

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."

Thank you!
Welcome aboard, Tamara!!!
Yes - I'd LOVE to be able to visit Bremerton as well.....maybe one day!
Thank you for the acceptance. My son is an IC and he's been in Bremerton since March. I live in Florida so it's difficult having him so far away. I'm so jealous of everyone that gets to go and visit:( I am so proud of him though and every time I speak to him, he's so happy and really enjoying what he's doing. I'm so glad to have this group. I couldn't have lived without my PIR group last year so I am looking forward to getting to know you all.
We welcome aboard our new members! Please take a few moments and introduce yourselves to our group!
We have arrived! My daughter reported to the Stennis on April 25th, 2014! She is getting settled in and doing her first watch duty today! So excited for her and this opportunity! We're from North Carolina, so she gets a lot of attention for talking like a girl from the South. LOL None of her family has ever been to the state of Washington so Google has gotten a workout! I was most excited to have an opportunity to be so close to Forks, WA! I'm a Twihard!
Please join me in welcoming two new members to our group!!!
WELCOME ABOARD Navy Moms!!!
Kathyf: Thanks for posting your news!
We attended a family wedding in Othello, WA - and our Navy son was also able to drive over from Bremerton! DOUBLE blessings that my husband walked our (his by previous marriage) daughter down the aisle AND our (mine by previous marriage) Navy son was able to be there too!!
