Coley423 - I noticed your post in the main group chat. Like Partyofseven many of the ships have FB groups. Does your son have the Ombudman information for his ship? For my son's ship your sailor needs a ship address for the Ombudsmen to verify, to add a family member to the group. However, when he first was assigned to the ship, he sent the Ombudsman his information and all of his father's and mine as well, so we were added immediately. (But the ship was also still in the shipyards at the time.)
Another group on this site you might be interested in is one that I stared a couple of months ago. Beyond BC It is not necessarily a group for a specific ship or location, but just a place to hang out and ask questions in general about life after BC. We do have at least one mom whose sailor is in SD and I hope the more members we get it can be a better networking option for people. We would love to have you join us!

Hello coley423,
This is Yvonne. Our daughter and her family are going on a trip and we will be going to her house to take care of her cat probably every other day from July 5th-July 17th. Since we're going to up there that often, I thought that might be a good time to meet. :) What day would be good for you? Let me know and we can make a plan.
Blessings,
Yvonne

Hi again Nicole.
I've sent two messages to you from the inbox in Christian Navy Moms and not sure you got any of them. My message is that , Can we reschedule our meeting. One of our tires has low air pressure and John has to take our car to the base to get the tire fixed on Monday.
So any of the days, Tuesday-Thursday is fine with me. What would work best for you? Let me know. :)
