Welcome to NAVYforMoms.com AxolotlMom!   

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!!

 AxolotlMom -- Welcome to the Navy4Mom site. I encourage you to please come join us in the BC Mom and Loved Ones Group - Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) - Navy For Moms (ning.com)  

That group page is the best place to go and ask questions and to read lots of information. This site is old school (set up by the Navy) and it is a lot easier to navigate on a computer than on a mobile device. 

If you are on a mobile device, be sure to put it into desktop mode, so you can scroll around the group pages. When you join the BC Mom group you will then be able to post questions, concerns, ups and downs in the Comment Wall Area where more of the members will see your posts. You will need to scroll down past the information, past the discussions and then you will find the Comment Wall.

Please come join us, we would love to have you. The more you post the more you will see others post and can connect with fellow members hopefully going through BC with you as well. 

I posted this in the BC group but I will share it here as well. - Moms of Daughters 2 - Navy For Moms (ning.com)

Feel free to send me a friend request. My son was a Nuke and met his wife on the ship he went to afterwards. My son's enlistment is over now, but my DIL reenlisted. 

My son is in SC now for Nuke school finishing up week 6.  It requires lots of discipline but if she was in ROTC I'm sure she will do fine. 

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!!)

You’re very welcome!
