Hey there Navy Moms! First of all, I want to express my high respect for anyone that has served in the military and am extremely thankful for your service and all of our brave kids out there serving our country. Also, this site has been incredibly useful to me and I would not have survived without it. Thank you Navy moms!

I've considered blogging for a while now, I just wasn't sure where to start. My son…

hello all,  so my daughter was offered honor guard. it sounded good at the start until we read that she can not advance above E3 and that she really puts off A school for 2 years while she is an honor guard while all the others from bootcamp are going forward with there dreams. My daughter souded like she had regrets signing the papers excepting this position if they offer it to her but is there any way for her to get out of this after she signed the first set of papers???  She is was going…

Hello, My son’s in Division 382, how can I join the 10/11 PIR Group.  Thank you.

I haven't heard a word about who my son has approved for graduation guests. my travel plans revolve around whether or not i can take my guest or he allows his dads guest.

Not sure how to proceed. do i need to worry about hotels filling up for 11/1 graduation?

what is the latest i should look at booking?

thanks all.....

This is my first post. My son left for BC Aug 14th. He was in processing a week longer than normal because he was put in a 900 division that needed to be filled up.

My daughter left on 9/17.  I have been preparing through this site (and others) reading everything I can since the end of February when she entered DEP.  I was prepared for the first 24hours!!  In fact, other than the hurry-up and wait, everything went better than expected!  My "I'm here" phone call came at 20:15 - about 6 hours earlier than I thought it would.  She was calm and there was no yelling in the background.  I have found the more I tell of my experience to friends and co-workers…

 We are in Week 5 right now of boot camp. I haven't really posted in the blogs since my first one after he left for bootcamp.  So it has been a few weeks...lol...in those weeks, we have received our first letters, which were hard because he was struggling and he was so tired and homesick. To the first phone call, where we were able to talk to him for 20 whole minutes. He sounded so good..."Hi Ma'am its me James" brought tears to my eyes. He sounded so grown up and all I could picture is my…

Can someone who knows how, or is able to, please create a PIR group for November 1 2019 grads so we can start to connect and get to meet other moms in our TG or divisions?

I don't know how....too new to the page. Ha!
