Navy Pier

It's a sort of touristy mall and amusement park built on an old pier. If you're not from the area (and it's not too cold), you might find one of the boat tours of the lakefront fun. http://www.navyp…

Our son is trying for nuke as well (they're just about the only jobs available in the Navy these days). We found this site: http://www.nukeworker.com/forum/index.php/topic,17568.0.html It has a TON of information but you have to be a little carefu…

Just another mom here (not a recruiter) but... Our son is in the same position: 6'1", 238 lbs. Although the official maximum weight for that height is 206 lbs, the Navy also uses a body fat calculation. As long as you are at or under 22% you're OK.…

Hi Beth, welcome to Navy for Mom's:)) You will find a lot of answers, support and encouragement here. My daughter, Ashley (20), has been in the Navy for 2 years and is an IT3 & son Tim has been in since Feb 2008 stationed on the USS Nimitz in security. What will your son/daughter be doing with the Navy? If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm glad you joined and look forward to hearing more about you & your Sailor. Pat

P.S. I live in Philadelphia about 25 min from Wynnewood. Come join our group, PA Navy Mom's.
