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."

tlb.....r, I see you have changed your Username so that it no longer contains your last name; you also need to change the URL to this page. Make change 2 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile)  (clickable link) to take care of that. (If you are using a Smart phone, you will need to switch to Desktop View to make this change.)

Also make change 3 while you are there so that this page is no longer open to EVERYONE (Anyone) with access to the web.

There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP Code to one that is not easily associated with you or your Sailor.

Where is your Sailor stationed (what vessel, if one)?

Aloha GMA; My Sailor seems to know he has to go to the office to get the CD, but he has been detailing out at Coronado and hasn't been around to get it. He is notorious for not following through on this stuff. Thanks for your help! I've got one serving in the AF who recently trsfrd to Korea and my baby has flown the coop. Life is rough for a stalker mom, but at least they know I care. :-) Jill

Hi Terry - checking in to see how you are doing?  Were you able to order the dvd from PIR?  I'm so sorry that you weren't able to make it  :(   We had a nice time in Chicago - it was cold but we survived!  It was nice having our Sailor home for Christmas, but boy the time flew by fast!  He flew out this morning for Charleston - he'll be there for his nuke school for about a year and a half......keep in touch and hopefully when we have the next Inland Empire gathering you can make it!  Hooyah!
