I'm a Navy Wife and I created this group back when I was a girlfriend and my now husband had gone to bootcamp. Its funny because i joined this website when they had under 50 members. This website has been sooooo helpful and I met so many people on here that gave great advice. I made this group so that we could all come together and give eachother advice and share ideas. I see that this group is growing more and more by the day, Im happy to see that because so many wives/fiances/and girlfriends are clueless when it comes the military lifestyle. Not knowing what to expect and not knowing about deployments, bootcamp, duty stations, etc. I want this to be the place you all recommend because so many people on this site are knowledgeable and very helpful. Once again thanks for joining my group and i hope you get all the information you need. I dont get to log on as much as i used to but i try my best to get on here. So if u have any questions feel free to make a discussion topic and Im positive that it will get answered if not, inbox me :-) Take Care ♥

Comment by AbigaeLanai on February 8, 2014 at 8:43pm

Hey ladies i could really use some advice. My boyfriend is currently in Basic and he just called me with his second phone call since being there. The whole call he was very emotional, crying saying he just wants to come home and be with me. He says he is fine throughout the day and knows he is strong enough because the work isn't that hard, he's just struggling missing me and his family. He has such a soft heart and has never been away from home like this. Have any of your men experienced this? Is there anything I can do to encourage him? I want him to be strong and know i'm here for him and remaining faithful and basic will be over before we know it but I don't know how to share that with him and really lift up his spirits. Any advice would be really appreciated! Thanks ladies!

I have just finished some NAVY BOOT CAMP journal sheets. These are a great way to memorialize your SR's journey through boot camp. I truly hope you like them. Filling them out was so much fun and what a trip down memory lane.

Thanks gals.

for me personally no. It always comes to my regular inbox. It can depend on what server you are using though.

Comment by Proud Navy Girlfriend on February 6, 2014 at 7:01pm
Hey guys. Just a quick question, whenever your sailor has emailed you from their ship has it ever gone into your junk mail?
Comment by rsadie on February 1, 2014 at 9:31pm

Haven't been on here for awhile and I'm in need of some advice/help. If everything goes well, my husband will be in Panama City, FL come mid February. I'm aware that the Navy may or may not pay to move me down there, at least that's what his chief said, and I'm capable of paying my own way to move down there but I'm stuck on where to live. It's highly unlikely I'll be living on base and I've looked at some apartments online. Can anyone help/give advice on what apartments are really good in the area and somewhat close to base? Thank you so much in advance!
