I actually was told about the website by my son's recruiter. He was at our home & I was telling him about being so nervous about hin joining & just talking to him & he said I could get alot of info from this website called navy for moms or something like that. So I tried it & here I am. My son PIR'd on 09.05 & this website has been a Godsend & I have met a number of great moms.
My advise to all newbies - search every aspect of this website & many questions will be answered.
Thanks N4M's - we all ROCK!!!

I found this site originally by googling ideas for my son's going away party. Then I found it again the week after he left for boot camp. You all know "the feeling" of your child leaving for boot camp. After the crying subsided a bit, I decided I needed to google again to find out some info about the navy since I was totally clueless. And Wahlah, N4M's appeared to me again. I found a mom looking for mom's of sailors in the same ship/div as my son. I couldn't sign up fast enough to reply to her. This was the greatest thing I could have done for myself. Finding this site certainly helped me get through bootcamp especially! I have also found out so much information here. Navy moms are awesome!!!

I heard about you from Navy-parents.com which I have been a member of for 2 years now. I also heard an advertisement on the TV? Is that the case? I think it was a Navy.com annoucement that mentioned this web-site. I did a double take and wanted to check it out, and this web-site is great. Good job Navy Moms!
