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!!

Your NAVYforMoms Admins

Good Morning tarap - I noticed in the latest activities that you had liked B'sNukeMom's post about leaving for BC. I am one of the "seasoned" moms that sticks around and helps reach out to new members on this site, and to those who join the BC Mom (loved ones) group. I realize you are a few weeks from your son leaving for BC, but I also wanted to encourage you to join us in that group. It is the best place to receive the most current information about BC, primarily because it is one of the most active groups. Here is the link again - https://navyformoms.ning.com/group/bootcampmoms

If you scroll most of the way down the main page of the group, past the discussion, you will find the comment wall and that is where we do a lot of our chatter and visiting and where you will be able to introduce yourself and start to make some connections with others once you join the group. If you want to just hang back for awhile and read the comments and glean what you can in the information on the pages you are more than welcome to do so. 

This site is different than a FB group and can be a little overwhelming and harder to navigate if you are not doing it on a computer. If you are on a mobile device be sure to put it in desktop mode.

My sailor has been in for over 3 years now and is in the fleet as a Nuke. If you need anything, don't hesitate to reach out. You can always find my page or B'sNukeMom's page by clicking on our profile picture.

Have a wonderful day and Hugs to you as you prepare for this journey. Spend as much time as you can with your son before he leaves, plan to enjoy some Holiday time prior, because he will not be having any leave time from BC during the holidays and no visitors. 

Welcome to BC Mom !! I am glad you have joined us. Feel free to come introduce yourself when you are ready.
