ah ok, gotcha B'snuke. I actually sent a message to the administrator and I bet that's her. I saw a title of a discussion about prospective members. I read it and saw that it was what you were talking about so I then sent her some questions about it. well carol ann maybe we'll get kicked out! ha ha. make room for the new moms. I think they should be able to take part. Seems like it could be resolved with all the technology. I don't want to see it go away, especially for new navy moms.
There's actually another mom on here - Marcy - that has been in contact with the company that runs the site. Long story short, one company was handling it and then it switched over to another.....there are issues and I guess the navy isn't providing funding for it like they used to. Marcy has been reaching out to the company and has a contact person that has been giving her some info - but not a lot. We've been pm'ing each other and I just sent Marcy another message asking for the latest update. Hopefully she has more news. I don't think Tiffany is the N4M admin anymore - it's someone else now and I can't ever get a response.....one of the problems is they say there's too many members and no room for more. There's lots of members who are no longer active (and I mean for a # of years now) but I guess if they delete them it deletes all their info - meaning anything they have posted which could be some valuable info. So there's things to figure out....
WHAT??? You mean if you have a son or daughter in the navy and you hadn't signed up for N4mom's before April you're out of luck??? That's horrible! What can we do?? Anyone we can contact? I can't imagine all this time without this, what would I do? You prob don't know specifics, do you B'snuke? I wonder if it's an opsec issue or what. What a shame to lose this.
Well I certainly hope that this site doesn't go away and that it continues on. It has been the best one for me! Not gonna be so good if new members are not permitted to join it though....
The members you are seeing are people that have already joined N4M previously but just hadn't joined a specific group. They have not been letting new members join N4M since I think April - they did have one day where the admins came on & let people join but then that was it...They were taken over by a new advertising agency and there have been some issues :( frustrating to say the least.
B'snuke-ah! Not surprised to hear you are already involved. What do you mean about N4moms being in limbo??? and what about not admitting new members? I see a new member here today... guess I don't understand
Glad to see everyone enjoying their time with their sailors!! Or getting ready to enjoy their time in some cases....
jbird - I'm actually one of the admins on the nuke mom group and my son is out now lol! Like Carol Ann said it's hard to just walk away - this has been a big part of my life for so many years now that I feel like we are all family <3 And I've been lucky enough to meet a few of my Navy mom's over the years too!
It's sad though that Navy for Moms is in limbo right now. They aren't adding new members & there have been issues with the ad group overseeing it. Hopefully they'll get things figured out soon!
JCMom: Thanks. I do think it's nice when Moms stay on here cuz it helps the newbies with their questions. If I hadn't received advice when I didn't understand something or didn't know something it would have made my time as an official Navy Mom all that much harder. That is why this support group was started and why it continues to thrive because of the older/experienced Moms in the group and their advice. And not to knock on the new Moms either as they have also taught me a thing or two.

Carol ann thank you for all your input and advice. I really appreciate all the help here and when my sailor was in boot camp. So happy for all those who were able to go and see their sailors return. I am looking forward to seeing my son soon. I will stay with this group and check in with everyone now and then. Take care everyone!
