Profile Information
- About me:
- Married for 27 years with two children: Trey is 24 and Kay (our sailor) is 22. I'm a registered nurse (for a very long time!) and a nursing instructor at Apollo College in Boise, ID. Originally from the east coast but lived in Texas for 22 years before moving to Boise in 2002. Love the mountains and the climate in this part of the West. Also enjoy reading novels and spending time with family and friends. Just started back to school to get a Master of Science in Nursing degree.
- I am here to support or represent my:
- Son/Daughter
- Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
- Enlisted
- When I heard “Navy,” I:
- Was proud and encouraged it
- From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
- I don't really feel like a new Navy mom. I was bred Army and my husband was Navy, so I feel like I've been military my entire life. The hardest thing is watching her return to base at the end of leave. More than anything I've probably learned to keep my mouth shut and let her make her own choices, good or bad, and to render an opinion only when its asked! She has always been independent and is a trait I've encouraged.
- Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
- It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

while you are at it, do accept the invite I gave to Kay and join the Wa/Ore Moms Group too, since she is stationed there:

A NW sweep! Actually, I'm an honorary member of the Idaho Group, so that would balance it all out. LOL We have lots of Out of State Moms on our Group because of the three bases and Moms near each base (including some ex- military themselves) who have offered their homes and help if Sailors ever have need. In fact, there is a Discussion Group just for Moms with Sailors at Bangor. So see, now you must be curious enough to drop in. :-) Oh, I'm pretty sure there's an MA Group on N4Ms too. Welcome Aboard! Take care, Merry Christmas! Enjoy having Kay home with your family.
There is an Idaho Navy Moms group. Please join us. Seven of us met a couple of weeks ago and it was really great. Please keep in touch. My son, Matthew is stationed in Saratoga Springs New York as an instructor at the Power Training base and has been there since May and he made his E-6 in the last 6 months. He probably won't be able to make it home for Christmas/New Years. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.
We’re so glad you’ve joined us! My name is Michelle (the Admin) so if you have any questions/comments/concerns – send them my way!

We are so glad that you are here! This is a great place to meet others that know exactly how you feel!
We have something for everyone here groups from boot camp moms to overseas moms and moms that like to scrap book. We have meet and greets to events that the moms set up to meet each other and have dinner or an outing. There are groups to help you with each and every step of this wonderful adventure that our children have chosen called the US Navy.
Please tell us about your sailor and what they have chosen to do in the navy and ohh yeah we LOVE pictures of everyone !!
