    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!!

    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 RTC will tell you what is happening and what to expect.  

    If you would like information on your recruit's rating (job/occupational specialty) or field, then let me know the rating or field. There are groups for most specialties and/or "A" Schools and knowing that will help you to better plan for PIR weekend.  

    Take care and blessings to you and yours.

    Make at least change 3 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link) and change the Privacy Settings for this page from "Anyone" to "Members." 

    There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

    Glad to hear that all is going well for your sailor!! I noticed your posts today on the group and it repeated three times. If you are logged in you should see an X to the right of your comments. This allows you to delete them yourself. I think Admin can as well, but I thought you might want to delete a couple, so it wasn't taking up space on the page. Just FYI

    Islandgirl - I just saw your comment on my page - I wanted to reach out to you and share in a PM. If you wish, go ahead and send me a friend request and then I can share more. Hugs!!!

    I see you posted to the Nuke Mom's page. I encourage you not to delete your account here, because then any posts that you had in the main discussion will be lost and leaves gaps. But you may set your profile to private (in which case, no one can see it unless they are your friend). You can also turn off the email notification for the Nuke Mom group. I sent you a friend request. Please keep me posted.
