Profile Information:

A little about me:: I am the mother of two young men. My oldest son has just joined the Navy and I have so many questions about Navy life I scarecly know where to begin. My career is as a hospice chaplain and in my work I meet people from all over who have many experiences unlike my own in life. Almost always, in some form or another I ask the question, "what's this like for you?" This is what I want most to know from people - especially now from Navy moms.
I am here to support my: Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?: Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I...: Was proud and encouraged it
The Navy offers opportunities that...: I really don't have much experience, yet. My son has just returned from MEPS and doesn't leave for boot camp for another four months.
Our Navy experience so far...: The Navy was not the right path for my loved one/me.

Recruit Man - Ronny

Welcome to NavyforMoms.com. My name is Ronny and my son has been in the Navy since February of 2012. He is currently stationed in San Diego with a Helicopter Squadron. He is an Aviation Structural Mechanic. I hope you find all the info you are looking for here, and if you have any questions feel free to ask. My son is 3rd Generation Navy, so I do know a little about the Navy..:)

If you have a new Sailor who is in Boot Camp, or leaving soon, visit CallsforRecruits.org and I will send you FREE Pre-Paid Phone cards for your SR to use while they are in boot camp. I started that program when my son left for Boot Camp :)

Welcome Aboard and I wish your Sailor Fair Winds and Following Seas.
