While there, complete your Profile so you can post and share photos and videos of your Sailor and share stories with other moms!

Important to know: Navyformoms.com is being updated and upgraded, and part of this effort is making room for new members. To do so, members who have not been active since 12/1/15 will be removed but will be able to re-join. If you haven't posted since that date, please do so right away. This is all part of an effort to make Navyformoms.com the best it can be for everyone, seasoned moms and new members alike. Thanks and watch for good things to happen!
Good to know about! It's great to see this kind of progress. "The new Virginia Military Medics and Corpsmen Program (MMAC), which will be launched on July 1, will help open the door to jobs in the New Virginia Economy to former military medics and corpsmen. Medics and corpsmen receive extensive medical training and experience while on active duty, but some have not yet had the opportunity to receive the civilian licenses or certifications needed to practice outside of the military medical system. MMAC is designed to help create opportunities for these former military medics and corpsmen to apply their skills and training in civilian medical facilities." PDF: Virginia MMAC Program
Welcome Lizziebear! You mean San Antonio? There are a bunch of suggestions here … SA hotel & restaurant recommendations
I was looking for this group FOREVER :) glad to be a part of this. Anyone know of a good place to stay while visiting my sailor end of May?
Scholarships! "The Navy Wives Clubs of America, Inc. (NWCA) gives up to 30 scholarships annually. Scholarship deadline is May 30." From Fleet and Family Support Program on Facebook. Details at: http://www.navywivesclubsofamerica.org/scholarships/
Something I just came across...Navy New Spouse Orientation Course.
Also, where are some of you stationed?? Do you love or hate it?!
Usually, how long after "dream sheet" is filled out in A School do they get their orders??
