A little about me:
I’m so new to this. My son is the middle child. He’s my youngest son but he has a younger sister and she’s moved out as well so I’m really alone. I’m trying to not cry so much but I miss them so much. I do work but that only keeps me busy for a bit. Then I get off of work and I feel so alone.
I am here to support my

    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!!

    Vanessa - Welcome to the N4M site!! Between the holiday and our primary admin who usually welcomes our new members having some computer issues, we are a little delayed reaching out to you. I apologize. I am one of the veteran moms that still sticks around and says hi. I want to encourage you to join the Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) - Navy For Moms (ning.com) - group. click on the blue letters and it will take you to that group page. You can click the join button and be able to post comments then. 

    This site is more easily viewed on a computer in my opinion, so if you are on a mobile device, we generally recommend that you put it into desktop mode. That way you can scroll through the pages easier and see the where to post. When you are on the BC Mom page, scroll down past all of the information, past the discussions and then you will find the Comment Wall. That is the best place to post your hello, ask questions, and just share your ups and downs of this emotional roller coaster ride you are on, called being a Navy Mom.
