DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

Do you have a future sailor? You might want to read this....
Hey all,
I am from Centennial Colorado and enjoy talking Navy. My whole family is Navy. I'm retired Navy, my son, my nephew, and my nieces husband are all active duty Navy.
I would like to help any of your sons or daughters understand the Navy, and our way of life. When my son was having his friends call me at all hours of the night asking questions (pretty much the same ones), I decided to make my own deppers website. I figured if the moms had NavyForMoms, and the Dads have NavyDads, then the deppers needed a place that they could get their questions answer TRUTHFULLY, without sugarcoating. Thus I made NavyDEP.com
Even though I very active on N4M's, my true joy is actually helping deppers.
For you new Navy moms and dads, I suggest you look at this:
For your future sailors, may I suggest you let them know of these links (the post of the day-per-day happenings was actually written by a Nuke that was on my website and wanted to "pay forward").

Craig- I wish I had found you Soooooooo much sooner. My Sailor Dep'ed in before the start of his Senior year and I spent the whole year on a great river cruise till it was torpedoed by the US Navy when he shipped out for Boot Camp a month after his High School Graduation. To say I was a wreak would be putting it mildly. I thought that since Hubby had been an officer in the Navy that I would be fine having a son enlist. Ummmmm Not so much!! I was lost and worried for him. Hubby googled a question I had and we found N4M. The Bootcamp Moms page pointed me to your page. Your page listing what happens on each day of Boot camp for the deppers was such a comfort for me. I thought you should know what a huge blessing you have been. BTW I am a neighbor.. We live in Highlands Ranch. Again, Thank you for putting the info out there. My sailor even said I knew more about what he was doing than he did and he was there.
