We have a Survival Guide for Navy For Moms Newbie (clickable link). You'll find everything you need to get started. Videos, PDF files of boot camp processing days, links to all the important groups plus tips on how to use this site. Keep in mind the videos and PDF files may take some time to download the first time you try it. It'll look like nothing is happening. Be patient. Best part is it'll be here on your very own page as a reference. Click the MY PAGE tab on above menubar to access your page anytime - you should do it at least once a day to see if you have any postings on your comment wall (like this one). Good luck. NOTE to moms: your emotions are going to go through some real highs and lows. It's all part of letting go. It would be unnatural for you not to feel a sense of loss, even though you are very proud. That loss is saying goodbye to his/her "childhood" and their dependence on you, as his/her "mom" - it's a role we have embraced from their birth. How can we not feel something when it is changing FAST? Just stay with us. The Boot Camp Moms, Navy MEPS/Dep and the PIR groups are here to see you through from beginning to end.

BunkerQB,

Hey Kelsie!! 

Thanks for the info on Washington! I hope to be there in about a month. Do you live on or off base? I'm looking at apartments in the area and can't really find to many. 

My sailor's orders are to be there the 22nd of April. We arent married yet but hopfully will be by then. God willing he will be home on leave in two weeks! I want to give my job here a months notice so the "plan" is for me to be there by May. Was there a long list for base housing? The only thing holding us back is we want to make sure we have somewhere to live. I hear alot of stories of couples having to wait months to move on base. Ive looked at some apartments but am going to wait for my sailor to go check them out because i'm scared to move into a bad area lol.
