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!!

Welcome to the BC Mom group!! We are glad to have you and I am glad to see that you found our regular chatting area. - Just in case, here is what I posted there for you in the group - 

Virginia - We are glad you have come to join us!! I think if you read back through a couple of these pages, BelovedbyHim's timeline is posted again, it should also be above. If your son is able to call you when he lands in GL, that is the last time you will get to talk to him. He should call in the very late evening, early morning when he arrives at BC - it is a scripted call. I thought I was hearing a recording. We just all say, "I love you", over and over and may or may not hear what they are telling us. If you are not able to go to MEPS with him for swearing in ask him to text you his flight # and airline and you can follow it on a Flight tracker.  Be sure to stick a small note into his wallet with words of encouragement because it will be anywhere from 3 - 5 weeks or so before a letter might possibly get to him these days. Have him call and leave a voice message on your phone for when you need to hear his voice.
