Welcome to NAVYforMoms.com!   

We ask that our members not use a last name or email address in their Username - even if it differs from their Sailor's - so please head to “Settings” on the main page right away to set your new Username (be creative!) and add a profile image (no last names visible) to 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.  We look forward to getting to know you and your Sailor.  

Welcome to the NAVY family - we're so glad you're here!!

Lynne Welcome to N4M site. I am usually helping our Navy Moms over in the BC Moms group. Your loved one is going to Officer Candidate school so I don't know if they go to Great Lakes for BC or another route. I know we have moms of officers on this site. 

I will also reiterate what B'sNukeMom said.  NO last name - She is one of the site admins and I just post. But this is a public site and depending on how you have your profile page set up, it could be public as well. We do our best to encourage not just OPSEC but also PERSEC on this site. 

I did want to connect you with one of our regular members on here who had 2 officers - this is a link to her profile page. - LeAnn ⚖'s Page - Navy For Moms (ning.com)

I am friends with LeAnn so I don't recall if she has her page set to private, friends only or if it is visible to all the N4M members but she is on often, especially if you look at the members online. 

I do think there is an OCS group but I am not as familiar with it and I need to go fix breakfast for my family but I wanted to say Hi. My son is out in the fleet now and we have a great ombudsman!! That is a very important job especially to us Navy moms!!

Here's a couple of groups you might like to join:

OCS Graduate Moms

Moms of Officers
