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."

My son will send back yo home

I got a 20 seconds call for my son said he will send back to home due he failed on run test. He was on the second week of boot camp. I have a mixed feeling , sad because I don't know how he is feeling right now and happy because we really don't want he joined the navy. But we supported him. I never been agree with the life they have to live. Children's grown without father or mother. Missing all special family events. I always feel sad and proud for the military life due they left the real life…See More

Son arrived July 23

A week ago my husband, my daughter and me hug my son after the swearing ceremony. He was very anxious that day. He didn't have any detaill about the trip to RTC. He told us the trip was first to Washington and them to Chicago. I texted him a couple times, and got some times a short answers. We never got the call that he arrived. Yesterday the box arrived with his belongings. We never separated from him before. The day of the separation was very sad for my family. My heart is broken, specially…See More

Join Ship 5 Moms(Formerly Ship 17) and see FAQ about SEPS and http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/faq.html#separations for more information on SEPS.

Be sure to have your recruit sign paperwork with legal so that they will be able to discuss the situation with you if your recruit wants that to happen. 

FAQ about SEPS indicates that phone calls are authorized daily, but the recruits may not have access to phones every day to make calls. Those in SEPS are usually able to go to the NEX at least twice a week--females on Monday/Wednesday and males on Tuesday/Thursday--and sometimes on Saturday and the recruits are able to access the phone banks on those days and make calls if they have a phone card.

To join the Ship 5 SEPS fB group, click https://m.facebook.com/groups/535221726514465?tsid=0.5434796636246855&source=typeahead. It is a closed group and you must be approved to join, which may take a few days to a week or so. Remember that the reasons for being in SEPS are as varied as the recruits there.

There is info in Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) and Fitness Improvement Training (FIT) for you.

"Separated" is now an option for “Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?” on your My Page.

Welcome to NAVYforMoms.com!   

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!!
