Battle station
Hello All,Got a letter from my son on Monday and he put in there that he will be doing battle station Wednesday (yesterday) night into Thursday morning and will call after. I guess I am just antsy to hear from him and haven't yet. Just wondering if anyone knows the process after battle station and when, if, get a phone call from them? Sorry, all is just nerve racking, lol. I can't believe we are already here with him doing battle station. It has gone by fast and also feels like forever since…See More

Welcome!! Please read my blog to give you an idea of what the first few weeks may look like.. Welcome to the Navy... Everything will be ok! The First part is some things to do before your SR leaves IF you Can, It’s NOT ESSENTIAL! Up and to the Left is a link to all the Navy Lingo! It is titled Navy Speak and you can find it here. We are here to get you through the “Great Silence” of the next 4 weeks (ish) and the 10 weeks of BC (ish). You will come to learn that No News Is GOOD News and everything is Needs of the Navy. You life will be Hurry Up and Wait and it’s ok to make plans but they are subject to change until after they have happened so it’s best to embrace the Motto: Semper Gumby!! (Always Flexible!!) You are Not alone! We have not lost a mom to Bootcamp yet, We won't start with you!

Proudmomof2 - Welcome to both the BC Mom group and the Nuke Mom group. I just got on the site, so I have not seen if you posted anything in the boot camp group or not yet, but the best thing is to go to that group page, scroll down past the information, past the discussions and then you will find our Comment Wall. That is the best place to post and ask questions where more members will see.
My son is a Nuke out in the fleet now.

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!!
