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!!

Navymom - Welcome to the BC Moms group!! We are glad you joined. Please be sure to go to the main group page, scroll most of the way down, past the discussions till you come to the comment section. Please post a note and introduce yourself to everyone. - If you are viewing N4M site on your mobile device, I have heard it works better in desktop mode. I use my computer and I can navigate the site a lot easier than with my phone.
We are all here to support and encourage you during this time when your loved one is at BC. There are other groups on this site as well, but the BC Mom group is a great place to start.
My sailor has been in for 3+ years and I stick around to welcome new BC Moms.

"Good Morning everyone and Thank you for this group. I am not 100% sure how to navigate this system but I am getting there. I have been in limbo for weeks not know where he is . He was in quarantine for 2 weeks and then someone tested positive so he had to spend another 2 weeks."
I reposted this so I did not loose it - (The main chats clear after awhile.) This blog is a good one posted by BelovedbyHim - we share it a lot with our new members - https://navyformoms.ning.com/profiles/blogs/first-things-first-the-...
If you have a mailing address from your SR (seaman recruit), then we have been suggesting for people to write "In ROM" in the bottom left corner of the envelope to help the mailroom locate them.
I am also sending you a friend request. If you accept, then you can send me private messages. The best thing to do though is click on BC Mom to the left here, go to that page as I explained below and find the comment wall and start asking questions there. The silence is the hardest for us, but they need letters and encouragement, if you can get messages to him.
