Welcome to

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!

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."

Comment by Paymaster on September 13, 2013 at 10:39am: Yes, the first weeks is tough. You are handling it well by keeping busy. Next, will be the count down to graduation.

Comment by blueflamingo on September 13, 2013 at 1:27am: The first week sucks, TBH. :)
Now I'm adjusting, and keeping busy. Being a Mama is full of bittersweet moments. We raise them to be strong and independent. Yet when they flex their wings, we want to stop the clock.....

Comment by Paymaster on September 12, 2013 at 9:28pm: So Blueflamingo...how are you feeling? Big adjustment when your child heads off to training.
