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

Please note - there are blue hyperlinks up above.  Click on them and they will take you directly to the groups.

Welcome!! Please read my blog to give you an idea of what the first few weeks may look like.. Welcome to the Navy... Everything will be ok!  The First part is some things to do before your SR leaves IF you Can, It’s NOT ESSENTIAL! Up and to the Left is a link to all the Navy Lingo! It is titled Navy Speak and you can find it here. We are here to get you through the “Great Silence” of the next 4 weeks (ish) and the 10 weeks of BC (ish). You will come to learn that No News Is GOOD News and everything is Needs of the Navy. You life will be Hurry Up and Wait and it’s ok to make plans but they are subject to change until after they have happened so it’s best to embrace the Motto: Semper Gumby!! (Always Flexible!!)

Good Morning! I am one of the "seasoned" moms that help out on the BC Mom group page. I happened to notice you were online and came to say Hi. I see you joined the BC Mom group - I guess I missed the notification otherwise I would have also stopped to say hi!!

Please come to the group and say a hello and introduce yourself. The way to do that is click on the BC Mom group link to the left here, scroll down past all the wonderful information posted on the page, keep scrolling past the discussions, and then you will find a Comment Wall area on that group page as well. That is the best place to post your comments, questions, hello, or share how you are doing getting ready to send your loved one to BC. 

The Comment Wall messages are seen by a lot more of our group members than the discussions are, so that is why I encourage you to post there. I will be busy for a couple of days, but we have other members who help to watch for new posts. I see you are a part of the DEP group as well. That one may not have as many active members to reply to your questions, so if you don't get an answer there, be sure to come ask in the BC Mom group!

Looks like you just joined the BC Mom group, I saw it here before I saw it in my new member notifications. Welcome!

Be sure to also post in the MAA group a hello, there are a few others who are in the BC Mom group also that might chime in and say hello on that page.
