This site is for mothers of kids in the U.S. Navy and for Moms who have questions about Navy life for their kids.

FIRST TIME HERE?

FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO GET STARTED:

Choose your Username.  For the privacy and safety of you and/or your sailor, NO LAST NAMES ARE ALLOWED, even if your last name differs from that of your sailor (please make sure your URL address does not include your last name either).  Also, please do not include your email address in your user name. Go to "Settings" above to set your Username.  While there, complete your Profile so you can post and share photos and videos of your Sailor and share stories with other moms!

Make sure to read our Community Guidelines and this Navy Operations Security (OPSEC) checklist - loose lips sink ships!

Join groups!  Browse for groups for your PIR date, your sailor's occupational specialty, "A" school, assigned ship, homeport city, your own city or state, and a myriad of other interests. Jump in and introduce yourself!  Start making friends that can last a lifetime.

OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Hi Katy, You are now a member of "MAS We Ship Love" so you will have access to the addresses. Shipping dates to the USS Momsen are June 17-22. If we all ship about the same time then it arrives at the same time! Thank you! Pat

Hi Katy! Thank you for the freind invite. Here's to hoping there is a letter today; so far I have received all of mine on Thursdays! How is your recruit doing?

I sure will KatyM.  I received a call and three letters last week.  She said she probably couldnt call for another 2 weeks.  She did tell me that she and her bunk mate were really good friends now that would be cool if it were your daughter.  God bless and hang in there mama less than a month to go.
