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."

My email is flight911er@aol.com I havent been able to link my blackberry with navy moms yet so its hard to respond quickly to this site like I am able to with fb msgs. I would love to connect with you there as well. Yes, Morgan cut her beautiful long hair and donated it to locks of love. Well actually I still have the hair. I just havent brought myself to part with it yes. I know silly, its just hair but Im holding onto everything of hears at the moment and until my heart feels a little better about all this im going to just keep on holding on. Hope your day was a little better than the last. I cant wait to get to know you more. Kimberly

Hi! I wonder if my son might be a week early - he arrived at GL on the 23rd, although I didn't get a call until 2:50am on the 24th!  When did your letter arrive?   Glad that you have a PIR date now, and it's sooner!!
