@Mamawalrus - I still check in about once a week. Things are going well with our sailor. He'll be reenlisting when the time comes and will move to a new location early next year. In the meantime, looking forward to all 5 being home for Christmas with their spouses, children, & 1 fiance!
I agree that this group was a blessing going through those first few months leading up to PIR! Miss hearing from you! May you continue to have fairwinds!

Hi all. Not sure if anyone still checks this group. I saw a mom on another site ask about a group for Navy and of course I recommended N4m! What a blessing it was to go through such an amazing experience with everyone!

Four years since PIR. Hope all of you and your sailors are doing well! Mine has finished his 3rd deployment and we just returned from seeing my soldier (my sailor's brother) off on his first deployment. Thanks for all who serve!
