Heather

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

Hi Heather - We are glad you have found the N4M website. We have several groups that I want to invite you to join. BC Moms group and also NUKE moms. These are two of our most active groups on this site and there is not only a lot of information on those pages, but also great ladies and some men who are around to help answer your questions and guide you along the way. 

I will be busy with other things for the next few weeks but B'sNukeMom is the group admin for the Nuke Mom group and a site admin on here as well. My son has been in for over three years now and he is serving in the fleet as a Nuke. 

This site is best viewed using a computer if able, if using a mobile device we recommend you put it into desktop mode. On both groups, there is information at the top of the main group page, then Discussions, but below that is the comment wall. That is where we do more of our daily conversation and more people will likely see your questions. 

There is a lot of information, so take in only what you can for the time being and add more to it as you go along. Start with this blog by BelovedbyHim - she put it together to help us navigate the changes at RTC (BC) but just recently we think they have actually extended BC by 1 week. First Things First-- The Quarantine Edition

Be sure to go to the Nuke Moms page and read through some of the recent comments, you will start learning a few things.

Hugs!!

PS, any place you see blue lettering that is an imbedded link. You click on it and it will take you to other information on the site, sometimes elsewhere for example Informed Delivery links might take you to the USPS webpage. You may realize this already, but I try not to assume everyone knows. 

Hi Heather!! Looks like the moment has arrived! As BelovedbyHim says - Breathe!!!

I am happy to accept your friend request. I will send you a private message, PM, so that you know how and where to find those. I am still busy with a lot of things but I try to pay attention to my PMs and answer those.
