Welcome to Navy for Moms!

We ask that our members not use a last name or email address in their Username - even if it differs from their Sailor's - so please head to “Settings” on the main page right away to set your new Username (be creative!) and add a profile image (no last names visible) to 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.  We look forward to getting to know you and your Sailor.  

Welcome to the NAVY family - we're so glad you're here!!

Please note that there are blue hyperlinks up above that will take you directly to the groups - just click on them.

norcalmaven - Welcome to both N4M and the BC Mom Group. We are glad you have found us. I am one of the moms who sticks around and helps to welcome our new BC Mom members. My sailor is finishing up his 6 year enlistment, but many of the questions and concerns of BC are still fresh in my mind. We encourage you to come to the group and introduce yourself. Feel free to ask any questions, to share any concerns, or your ups and downs. 

When you come over to the BC Mom group page, be sure to scroll down past all of the information, down past the discussions and then you will see a Comment Wall. That is the best place to come post comments. That is where we post all of our daily chatter and more of our members see the posts there in their email feeds. 

All the best to your SR!

Welcome!! This blog may provide some useful information for you as you adjust to having a child in BC.  Since you indicate that your child is already there skip over the first part for DEP parents.  https://navyformoms.ning.com/profiles/blogs/welcome-to-the-navy-eve...
