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!!

Nursekim - Good Evening, I am one of the moms that sticks around the BC Mom and loved ones group. I had a notice that you had recently joined. I just wanted to welcome you both to the N4M site and also the BC Mom group. There is a lot of information on our group page, but if you scroll down past that information, past the Discussions, you will see the Comment Wall area. That is where we post our hellos, questions, encouragement, answers to questions, and general information. We suggest that you scroll back through a few of the pages and read some of the recent information that has been shared.
Also, I see that you joined the MAA Moms group. I am not a member of that group, so I cannot post comments on it, but I can direct other new members there, so I recommend that you post there and maybe meet up with some other recent new members.
Nursekim - You are welcome!! I am glad that you also posted in your other group as well. To answer your question, you might find my discussion What PIR weekend may be like for those flying out of GL - Navy For ... helpful. This will apply to your son as well. During the last couple of years, some things have changed as well, and always flexible is our motto around here (Semper Gumby), but it was my experience when I went to BC to see my son.
