***PLEASE DON'T DELETE YOUR PROFILE***
If you leave Navy for Moms ALL your posts will disappear.
The way the Navy for Mom's website works is if you decide to leave permanently any and all posts/comments that you have made will disappear (and we have no way of recovering them).
We ask that if you have contributed information to groups then please don't permanently leave the site. Your information could be helpful to current and future mom's.
You can leave individual groups and your posts won't disappear - this is only if you leave the website completely.
Please consider what you have contributed to the site before you decide to leave permanently and delete your profile.
Thank you.

Tulip - thank you for the heads up about the SkillsBridge Program. (And thanks to B'sNukeMom for the link.) Just like DsMom2020, I saved it for later. We have at least 5 years left, but this is good info!!! Thanks again!

Thank you, tulip. My sailor is at least four years away from separating if not longer, but I am going to flag and save your post because that is very useful information. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Tulip - It is good to hear from you. Congratulations to your sailor! Thanks for sharing about the SkillsBridge, hopefully some of our other sailors will be able to participate in this program as well. Prayers for your sailor and his wife!

Comment by Tulip on Friday

Hi This is the first time I've commented in quite a while. Many things to say today...
First, prayers for all of those on the USS Truman and their loved ones! Even though it is reported that there were no injuries, the trauma of an incident at sea takes many forms and is often unseen and unnoticed. May all of those sailors find peace and comfort!
Secondly, my sailor son officially moved from his boat after 7 years on Wednesday. He is now beginning a solo trek to Texas to join his wife (also a former Nuke). She begins her first civilian full-time job on Monday and he will beginning a SkillsBridge internship to wrap up his contract with the Navy. Requesting that you keep him in your thoughts and prayers for safety and protection as it will be approximately a week of driving through the mountains alone (he does plan to take a few stops to see parts of the country he hasn't visited yet), but it is winter weather through mountains and very long distance!
When your sailor is getting out in about a year or so, I highly recommend the SkillsBridge program! It allows them to leave their command 4-6 months early; the Navy pays their salary; and the internship (with companies that the military approves) provides civilian skills, contacts, ways to understand how their Navy experience will translate, and many times a full-time job offer at the end! Great deal for military personnel and for the companies!
To all, fair winds and following seas! This community has been a safe haven for me over the 9+ years since he enlisted! Thank you all, especially Chipmunk and B'sNukeMoM!
