    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!!

    cheri39 - Good Evening!! I follow the new members on the BC Mom group and I was surprised to see that you had joined. I was thinking you already had but maybe I am just forgetting. We are glad to have you join us. As I tell all of the other new members for that group, be sure to scroll down post the information on that page, past the discussions and then you will come to the comment wall area. This is where more of the members will see your posts, the best place to ask your questions and the place where you can just be honest about your feelings, and the ups and downs of BC. 

    We have all been there, and we understand the Great Silence, although it is getting a little shorter now with some changes. We will do our best to guide you, but we are all volunteers on this site, so I say the more you put into the site, the more you get out of it. 

    Mine has been in for 5 years now and is currently on sea duty.

    Hi, my son has been there since Monday Oct 24th. How about your kiddo?

    I’ve only received a few official mailings, but it’s his handwriting on the envelope so that made me happy to see.
