How did you find us?

[Navy for Moms Admins]

Navy Moms!
I am so excited. :)
This is the best snowball ever! I’ve been so curious…how did you find out about our community? Some moms have told me about the http://www.nstc.navy.mil/rtcgl/family/index.html site… Is that were you found us... or was it through another source? Thank you!

UPDATE 4/20/2008: Hi Everyone! I brought this forward because I really want to know! :) How did you find out about us?!

[Seawolf Mom]

I saw a commerical on tv.

[Seabee Mom ~ Michelle]

I found this site on Facebook when searching for a group of Navy Moms the day before yesterday and last evening for the very first time I saw the commercial on HGTV for this website. It was heaven sent. Thank you!

I found out about it from my son's recruiter. I was asking questions about PIR and he suggested I would probably find out more than he knows from other moms on this site. I think he only just learned of it a few days prior. Oh, and he was right -- I did find out a lot more here than he seems to know!

[Chris' Mom]

I was just messing around on the internet about two weeks before my son's PIR on 10/24/08. I searched on Yahoo for anything having to do with Navy mothers. It gave me a link to this and a couple of other groups. I looked at this a little bit but mostly looked at the Navy message board to find out about PIR. Then after PIR, I looked at this website again and explored it more. I found the group for my son's PIR date and wished I had joined it back in August instead of after PIR. I would have liked to have corresponded with everyone and participated in the Meet and Greet at Flanagans of other parents of his class if I had known about it earlier. I also found the group from my state and his new career group. It has provided answers to many questions and helped me know that I am not the only one who cried so much after my son left for boot camp (and he was 22 and not just out of school!) I didn't see the commercials until after I explored this website.

Yesterday I asked a friend who is an Army Mom if there was a website like this for her? She said "not much that I know of, not like Navy For Moms." She knew about this website, and she is not Navy! I had not mentioned Navy for Moms before she said it.

I heard about it while listining to tv and then told my friend, her son has been 7 years and never even knew about this site.

I happened to see this on TV. I have not been on Navy "sites" for awhile as my son is not new to the navy and in fact is now out and a vet. But the transition is hard and I wanted to see what there was here and who was out there that maybe I could visit with and maybe help out. Thanks for this site as a way to answer questions and concerns.

[Jamie (Coty's Mom)]

Well, I have a myspace account and I saw an old friend from high school and I had posted that my son had enlisted in the Navy, well one of his friends Shari sent me a message and said her son was in the Navy and told me about this website. So I joined...Shari and I became online friends and it turned out that her son graduated a year behind my son from the same school. Her son was in the band and mine was on the football team, so here we sat in the same stands at the same time and never knew each other. Small world huh

I was watching the TV Show The Biggest Loser and it came on an advertisement. I was so surprised and immediately ran to my computer to check it out. My son was getting ready to PIR 3 days later. It was great and still is fantastics the support we have for one another whether your child is just leaving for BC, already in BC, getting ready to PIR, or just PIR'd or has been in for awhile. Thanks everyone for being there.

I saw a commercial on television the week before my son left so of course I jumped right on the website. It is the best thing I could have ever done.

My son's recruiter told me there was "some new website for Moms of sailors." He couldn't remember the site, but I did a Google search and found the site.
