I see that you found the Indiana group. Do you have specific questions? What is your sons rate (his job) in the Navy?

A group for ET (I am assuming that he is not a Nuke) http://www.navyformoms.com/group/fcsfirecontrol

If A is like my A, then you will have to read as much as you can and then start putting 2 and 2 together...Mine doesn't talk much about Navy to me. Details later. No groups within Indiana by county. I'll look later to see if I can match your 'town' and let you know what I find.

My A is stationed in the S. Pacific.

Group for your son's ship:

You may be able to find his ship's ombudsman or his ship's FRG (Family Readiness Group), but he may need to put you on those lists.

Hi. I'm a Carmel High grad and went to Butler U before moving to Illinois. Still get back over there whenever I can. Kay is over by Avon and is a great one to know.

Hi, "aatlmom," and welcome to Indiana Moms! I'm the administrator for the group, so if you have any questions, please ask. My son is a Nuke MM serving on the submarine ALABAMA, based out of Bangor, WA. He's been in for five years.

If you're near Indy (or willling to drive), there's a monthly informal dinner in Avon (on the west side) which meets on third Mondays. Click Nov. 21 on the Events calendar (right-hand column) for those details. From time to time, we also have regional gatherings in various parts of the state.

Jump in with any questions or comments you may have. I think you'll find we're a nice bunch of folks and always willing to lend an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. Hugs! k.
