Hi Marti, I know just how you feel. My daughter, who is also in the Reserves just got back from Iraq last night. It seemed that as soon as she came out of A school she was told she would probably not be deployed so imagine my shock when she called t…

My daughter is in Iraq right now, and its tough. She is the one that reassured me at first. She told me that she was going with a great bunch and they would all be watching each others back. Tell them you love them. Be proud of them, have faith in t…
Julie, would you believe I had to make more deviled eggs when I got home, my grandson pouted all afternoon because they were gone by the time he got there. It was great meeting the other moms and you. Will talk to you soon.
Leigh: Boy, those deviled eggs went in a flash!!! Glad I got to meet you yesterday...in spite of the crowd and confusion. It turned out to be a really wonderful picnic/potluck. So very glad you came.
Leigh: I haven't the foggiest how you would transport 200 deviled eggs!!! I'd hate to see the mess in the car if you tried. However many you make is fine....remember that every mom who comes will be bringing food...there will be plenty.
Can't wait for us all to meet each other....this will be a lot of fun! See you on the 4th.
Leigh: I'm so very glad you'll be attending the April 4th potluck / picnic. The recruiting office said they expect over 100 people.....but don't worry, not everyone eats everything. Deviled eggs are great. Just make however many you want.....certainly NOT 100....unless you have your own hens (Hee Hee!)
Leigh,
Thanks for the welcome. I read how strong all mothers are, whether they have sons or daughters in the Navy. Everyone states love, support, concern etc and that is how I feel too. Makes me feel "normal" and gives me hope everything will be ok. God plays a big part in all of this for all of us. Have you heard from Cara? I am happy to hear she will be home next month! My Brittany also said this is something she has wanted to do for several years now. God Bless and grant you Peace. Thanks again and I hope to hear from you soon.

Leigh: I really hope you can make it.....but if you don't show I'll know to be VERY happy for you! DEP in the delayed entry program for the Navy. Usually kids who will enter bootcamp within the next 3-4 months!
Leigh: Navy for Moms has been invited to attend the North Central Phoenix DEP picnic on April 4th. It will be at Cortez Park at 35th Ave and Dunlap. Check it out on the "Events" page. Hope you can come!
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 !!
Please let me know if you have any questions I can help you with.
