Take care and talk to you soon.

We’re so glad you’ve joined us! My name is Michelle (The Admin), but you can call me Elle. If you have any questions/comments/concerns – send them my way! To help you get started, I’d like to share some of our community’s “Do’s and Dont’s”. Please click here and read them because yes, they are enforced. With that said, I hope you enjoy your time here! We’re all looking forward to learning more about you. ☺
Sincerely, Elle
1) Since you haven't used this ID much, you might consider deleting and re-joining the site using an ID without your last name. This is only to protect your sailor. We must assume that "bad guys" are reading our posts and we don't want them to learn anything "useful" here. If your sailor has a different last name though, there's no need to change anything. I offer this only as a suggestion, it's not required.
2) The fastest way to jump into some discussions is to click on "GROUPS" at the top of any page. This take you to the (LOTS!) list of discussion groups going on. They range in topic from bootcamp groups, to states, to ships/subs, hobbies, politics, and even prayer groups. You can read anything anywhere without joining a group, but must join one to leave comments. You'll find the link to "JOIN" when to click on that group.
3)Occasionally visiting the HOME page is a good way to read announcements from the administrators and see a potluck of stuff going on.
If you need any more help, you're welcomed to visit Karen Gallagher's page or mine, by just clicking on our pictures (that's the way to visit anyone's page).
Good luck and hugs! ks.
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.
