    Welcome to NavyForMoms.com!!

    I hope you get all the information here you are looking for.  Please stop by the Survival Guide for New Moms for some of the info to start with.  
    If you have a new Recruit and need phone cards for them please check out Calls for Recruits.org and get them for FREE.  I feel that the Family, Loved Ones, nor the Men and Women of our Armed Forces should have to pay for phone calls from Boot Camp.  The link above will take you to the website to send the email for the FREE phone cards if you need them.  Please spread the word if you know of anyone who can use this great service!!!

    Nice to meet you too.  I live to search questions I have on Google and found this Forum - IT IS A LIFESAVER!  But then there is so much I get lost too. The key is to keep looking around at topic and remember where they are.  I have started to go into them (more than once) and cut-n-paste anything I think will be relevnat in the future (PIR, A-School etc) and keep it on a draft in my email so I can make "lists" or refer to as needed.  I sent a calling card, stamps, a list of ph#'s (not used!) and was thankful to know to.  KEEP searching around - there are lists of day to day schedules etc.  It is also way cool to meet Moms I may meet at PIR or even longer in life.  I just got our 4th letter and he is not too descriptive (we want to know all!) but they are limited in time and he was not much of a writer anyway, just thankful it has been 1 each week!  He has been sick the whole time with virus's and then he and his bunkmate got pink eye, but that should be cleared up by now.  Hopefully they will be all better soon to enjoy the last weeks.  NEARLY THERE - SO excited!!!  He told me some friends names but only the last names, said he hates that there are no first names used.  But we can't say last names so not sure us Moms could figure out who our boys know.  Funny.  Break finished, but hope to keep in touch.

    Hi cbadillo!  Just wondering how far you are from Austin TX.   My father lives in Austin, I was born in Wichita Falls (way back!).  I Google Earth all the time and did Alamo and it seemed near but then I think they meant "the Alamo" and not sure got it right.  Just wondering.  My SR goes by JD usually but maybe Joey, Joe, or Joseph - I think it is what he wants to say at the time. Wonder if our SR's know each other?  Where did you end up staying for PIR?  Hope to hear from you?
