Welcome to New Members
Of particular importance is the use of the “Search” function. You should do searches in blogs, forums, discussions for answers in previously posted threads BEFORE adding a NEW blog/discussion. Finally, it takes time to learn how to use this site. Be patient. Check your page & status box often.
Best of luck, BunkerBee and AbbyblueOK (from the New Moms Stop Here Group)

I see you found our Moms of Daughters 2 group and I want to welcome you. So your daughter is in boot camp now? Come join our chats in our group - there is someone on every day. We are a close group of moms who have daughters in all stages of Navy life - from newbies to those whose daughters have been in for several years - from officer to enlisted!!! We support all our sailor girls and each other also. We look forward to learning about you and your sailor!! Again, welcome aboard!!!!

Hi Ladies, My husband and I are staying at the Candlewood Suites in Waukegan and we plan on being at the meet and greet. I am so excited for our girls. I was in the Navy and so was my husband, so we know how it is to be in boot camp. This is an exciting time in our girls lives. We are so proud of our daughter. We need to be praying that they can pull together. I guess they are having a hard time getting any flags. I know how that is because my company didn't get any flags until the last couple weeks of boot. They just need to focus on being a team and not themselves individually.

Since your recruit will go to “A” School for Mass Communication Specialist (MC), join Mass Communication Specialist and Parents whose Sailors are stationed at FT. Meade. You will also want to check out Fort George G. Meade, Md Facebook Page.

The Rating Information Card for MC can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/mc.pdf. (If you get the security warning, it is safe to go there.)

Your Sailor will most likely fly out to "A" School the day after PIR. See PIR Day and Liberty during PIR Weekend within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) to help you know how to plan your weekend.

Thank you!
