Welcome to NAVYforMoms.com!   

Head to “Settings” on the main page right away to add a profile image (no last names visible, please) and complete your Profile. Then - and this is important! - read these Community Guidelines and this Operations Security (OPSEC) Checklist, for the safety and privacy of all our Sailors.

Then jump right in!  Browse around the site and check out the groups and the information in their Discussion Forums.

Join this group for boot camp moms, where you'll also find a group for your Pass in Review (graduation) date; and this one for PIR Reference Information.  

Get a head start during boot camp by joining groups for, and learning about, your Sailor's occupational specialty and "A" School; and later your Sailor's duty station and/or Navy ship and homeport. You can also join groups for your own state, region or home town and interests from getting ready for deployment to care package ideas!

Please say Hi when you join a group, and feel free to ask any and all questions - everyone was new once, and there is no "dumb" question. 

This site was created by the U.S. Navy just for you, and we look forward to getting to know you and your Sailor.  

Welcome to the NAVY family - we're so glad you're here!!

Your NAVYforMoms Admins

I invite you to join Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) there. Arrival and What Happens at the RTC will let you know what is happening and what to expect. 

What division is your recruit in? 

You may want to check out Mom's of Daughters 2. 

Since your recruit has a contract for Air Traffic Controller (AC), join Air Traffic Controller Moms and Pensacola, FL A School: NAS and Corry Station and check out Airman Family and Friends.

The Rating Information Card for AC can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/ac.pdf. (If you get the security warning, it is safe to go there.) https://www.thebalancecareers.com/career-profile-navy-air-traffic-c... has more info for you.

Your Sailor will most likely fly out to "A" School the day after PIR, but may fly out on Sunday due to flight availability issues. Plan to leave on Sunday if you are able. See PIR Day and Liberty during PIR Weekend to help you know how to plan your weekend.

There is info on RPOC in Recruit Petty Officer Positions and What does ??? mean? (A Guide to Navy Abbreviations and Terminology).
