I look at Navy Newsstand every day. As soon as I read about you on their site, I joined. I would love to know more about the history of how this came to be. I have a dear friend who's son is a new Marine. Is there anything comparable for moms in the other branches?

I found out about N4M from my son's recruiter when it was just starting up. And since that time....when the ads come on I still get 'goose bumps'......it just makes me so darned PROUD to have a son serving and to know how many wonderful Moms (and Dads on Navydads.com !!!) rally so proudly beside me !
Thank you ! Thank you !! THANK YOU !!!!!!
Fondly,
Nancy......A VERY Proud NAVY Mom !

I saw an ad on tv about 2 weeks ago. I wish I would have known about this site last September, when my son went into boot camp. It would have helped me a lot, like it's helping me now. I think this site is great!!

I found your advertisement on a myspace generator. I was kind of feeling stalked by myspace because it popped up but this is really good for me. Now I have two Sailors who are following in their Families footsteps so it's time to be a Navy Mom. They are both stationed back East so that is kind of hard for me. I will be moving back there too next year and that will be quite an adjustment for me.
I can see how much work has gone into this site and I wish I found it a little bit earlier but better late than never. Thanks for all of your hard work. It really looks great.

I had been subscribing to military.com after my daughter first told me she wanted to join the Navy [she was still in high school at the time]. I used that site to research some things and to learn as much as I could. That was where I saw the ad for Navy4Moms.com. I'm so grateful they had the link there. This site is my support group, my fellow sisters of children serving their country in the Navy. N4M's rocks.

My daughter was downloading a game and this ad just popped up. I decided to join because all of us can help support one another.

My husband is active duty Navy and just recently returned from Iraq. He sent it to me one day after reporting back to work. I have no idea where he got the info from. Our oldest son is on the GW and the middle son is in Navy ROTC. I haven't joined any particular groups yet but I plan to. It's interesting to read the blogs.

I found out about this website from TV. My husband and I were talking about our son leaving for BC and of course I was getting teary eyed and all sudden out of nowhere the volume went up on the TV and this commercial came on. God was certainly pointing me in this direction.

Oddly enough it was a Marine Mom that told about this site lol
