    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!!)

    Lisa - Welcome to the Beyond BC group. I will post a hello there, but I do want to encourage you to read my welcome information in the above area on that group. Also, we do a lot of daily chatter most days in the comment section and that is really the best place to post any questions that you have. I have limited the discussions to some specific things and eventually, I will add pages of information but for now, we are casual, chatty, or not - not everything is centered around our sailor, but about surviving in the day to day of being the ones holding down the home front while our kids or other loved ones are in service, or now out of service.
