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."

Thanks.

Thank you for all you do.

I see you have changed your Username so that it does not contain your last name (you probably did that some time ago); you also need to change the URL to this page to remove it from there. If you do, 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.

It's not a good idea to post a pic of your Sailor every time you post, so also make change 4.

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 your Sailor.

Thanks for your quick reply. I wanted to know what is the address for July? Where can I find it? My daughter is leaving for boot camp on Wednesday. Does the address stay the same each month? Thanks again and have a good night.

Hey,

I was trying to make my groups show (0) on my page. I couldn't so I just deleted my groups. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much Pat!  Loving this site!

Hi Pat, No decision. Since there were so many boxes being assembled I decided to wait and see just where they would all go. Then I would send to a group that is not getting as many. I can make a couple pillowcases tomorrow too. So, if you have a feel for where another box would help I'd get it ready this weekend and week. Thanks for checking back!

Oh that is so neat!  I don't feel totally lost now knowing someone else who is in the same situation as me!  That is a good idea to number your emails. 

At 4:20pm on February 17, 2015, Michelle M said…

My son is a Nuke too so I am sure Kacey's son and my son must know each other :)

At 4:19pm on February 17, 2015, Michelle M said…

Prior to their deployment I was getting emails from the Family Readiness Group but nothing for quite a while.  I am not sure if nothing is being sent?  Or if it changed because my son all of a sudden got married in December so information may have been changed to be sent to her and her and I don't communicate much!  So I am not sure of anything except I am not getting any emails from him anymore and neither is she so I am assuming this is normal?!?  This is new to us and not sure what to expect!  When you say FB Pasadena FRG is that a Facebook page?  If so, I am not currently watching that page. 

At 10:53am on February 17, 2015, Michelle M said…

Thanks for the comment - I joined the site and noticed there wasn't much activity.  My son is on the Pasadena and I was just trying to find a site that may have others in the same situation as me.  Mom of a first time deployed Sailor!

HI Pat.  Hey, I would like to write a thank you card to "Sarg" for having the get together Thursday night before my daughter's graduation.  Can you give a mailing address for him to send a card to please.  Thanks, Colorado Mom
