    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!!

    Congratulations!!  I just wanted to extend an invitation to you to join the Beyond BC - Navy For Moms (ning.com) group if you would like to. We do our best to stay connected with each other, to share how our sailors are doing, to encourage each other and to be available to answer questions and also ask questions about life after BC.
