Profile Information:

A little about me:
I am the mother of 7 children. 4 boys and 3 girls. It was my oldest that decided to surprise me with the enlistment to the Navy. He had no idea I had enlisted over 30+ years ago at the young age of 17. I am so proud of him and will encourage him and be there for him and his division every step of the way!
I am here to support my
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?
At Boot Camp now
When I heard “Navy,” I...
was proud and encouraged it
The Navy offers opportunities that...
many may not have been afforded the opportunity to have otherwise and the ability to proudly serve this country and its people.
Our Navy experience so far...
has been positive and maturing., is challenging and exciting.

    Get a head start during boot camp by joining groups for, and learning about, your Sailor's occupational specialty and "A" School; and later your Sailor's duty station and/or Navy ship and homeport. You can also join groups for your own state, region or home town and interests from getting ready for deployment to care package ideas!
