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!!!

Hi :) Glad to have another SR who is going Nuke in the PIR group. If you want I got a ton of info about Goose Creek/Nuke info from a Mom whose son is graduating this May from the Nuke program. I can forward it to you.

Thank you Melinda. I have a SR Son. I have also joined the facebook group for our PIR and there is also a 900 group which I joined. Are you facebook? I will order my ribbons tonight.

I did get a call from my son a week after he arrived which was 2/26 he sounded well and said that he they were getting shots the next day. I was so surprised to get the call that of course I got flustered and didn't ask any good questions :(. I got his address on Friday and have been sending letters nearly every day. I have not received any from him or any other phone calls.

Have you heard from your daughter?

My son will be an Airman. I will keep you posted if I hear from him. Praying for all of us who still haven't heard from our SR's that tomorrow will be the day
