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!!

Your NAVYforMoms Admins

Jennifer - Welcome to BC Moms group - I thought I would share another group here for you to join if you would like - I don't know how active it is, but it has information about recruits leaving for BC in Dec. DEP-Leavin' for bootcamp in December

And I think one of our regular "veteran" BC Mom members was an ET and posts in that group as well. 

You are always welcome to ask questions or post comments in the BC Mom group even before your daughter leaves for BC. The most important thing for her to do, is prepare for the fitness test and also to be studying her START book, I think it is, that they are given by their recruiters.

Jennifer,

I'm sorry this welcome message is late but I have been busy spending time with family so now I'm playing catch up!!!  I'm glad you joined our little group. I see your daughter waiting to leave for boot camp? It is quite a different environment than it was just a year ago so I hope everything continues to run smooth for her. We are a friendly, caring group of moms who have daughters in all stages of Navy life - from newbies to those whose daughters have been in for several years - from officer to enlisted!!! We support all our sailor girls and each other as well. Not just during the Bootcamp days but the weeks and months following, as they go off to school, first duty station, or first deployment.  Let us support you when you're missing her, lend an ear when you need to vent, and celebrate with you when you want to brag!!  We look forward to getting to know you and your sailor!! Again, Welcome Aboard!!!!
