I often wondered the same thing because I could never find one for Airforce. I have a boy in Navy and one in Airforce. Thank you for the info Teachermom. I will check it out.

rsv227, my son is in the Air Force but there boot camp is nothing like the Navy. He left on a Tuesday and he was calling home every Saturday and Sunday if his group was doing well!! He was able to take his cell phone and everything!!

There is a site for Airforce Moms called Wingmoms...my friend found it very helpful when her daughter was at. Bootcamp

Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!  Does anyone know if the Air Force has any type of site like this?  My girlfriends son is joining the  Air Force after graduation & I told her how much help "Navy For Moms" was for me.

I got another letter today i get so happy and sad all at the same time. My son's dad gets a little upset when he finds out how long my letters are compared to his lol. I just tell him ya well he is a mama's boy and that's just fine by me. I just want you ladies all to know that you are the best i tell ya, not sure what i would do without all of you. Thank You all from the bottom of my heart. God Bless all of you and all your children men/woman

Yes I wish this site would have been here when my sailor went in. It didn't start until the next year. I have been greatful for N4M's since then. My nephew is also in the Navy now too. He is in A school in Pensacola. I am so proud of all of kids and yours as well.

Hi ladies,

I haven't been on this page in a while...glad to see all are doing ok. Nickolasryan good luck to you and your son. You both will be just fine...some days are harder than others and NO ONE understands unless you have been through it yourself. My son is in D.C. now he was chosen in b/c for Ceremonial Honor Guard. He has been in the Navy now for almost a year and a half but it still isn't easy to let him go when it's time to put him back on the plane. But, we have a deal that I can't cry in front of him (he says "Navy Rules") haha his rules of course...but that's ok I just agree with him and bite my tongue and then when he gets on the plane the water works begin.....haha

PIR is a wonderful day...but be patient with him b/c he will be so uneasy being away from the base after bootcamp.(if he is able to leave and spend time with you) My son was so nervous the first time he left the base he could hardly stand it.

Good luck to you and we are all here if you need to cry, rant, rave, brag or just ask questions. Everyone was here for me when it was my turn and I am more than happy to listen to you new Navy moms now....and I will do all I can to help you through this rough transition. My prayers are with you and your son.

nickolasryan - you are 100% correct - about it being hard on us moms when they leave - no one other than us can understand that.  I get so upset when someone tells you - you will be ok it is just like they go away for college.....NOT.  It is totally different.  Glad we have each other!!!!

Thank you so much ladies and I am glad you know and understand how i feel. It is hard on a mom when they leave more then anyone will ever know. I am very excited about graduation can't wait. Best of wishes to you and your boy's for they never get to old when it comes to being a Mom.

Nikolasryan, great you got a call. I remember that first call too. My son has been in for 5 yrs and I still don't know if I understand everything there is about the Navy, LOL. There is always something new and exciting. Good luck to you and your son. PIR is so exciting and I am excited for you. I would love to go back but I dont' have anyone else going for now.

No matter how long they are in it is always an emotional roller coaster. My son has been in for 5 yrs and I still cry everytime i send him off at the airport. I know he thinks I am crazy but he never says anything, LOL. Mine is in Hawaii and I also have one in the Airforce and he is in Japan. My Airforce boy  I have not seen over year this past Christmas. I am ready to see  him BIG TIME. I am hoping he will be able to meet us in Hawaii when go in July. Let's cross our fingers. Plus my sailor may or may not be there when we get there too. I guess that is a chance you take when they are on ships as well.

 

Well good luck to all of your sailors and you too.
