- About me:
- I am a mother of a 25 year old son named Bandon who was sworn in this morning (11/18/08). He is currently in the air headed toward Great Lakes, Ill. He is excited about this new phase of his life; I am too, as well as a little apprehensive. What will it be like for him? What will he be like when he returns? Reading this forum this evening has given me great hopes that he will be an even better person than the one I said goodbye to this afternoon. It helped my overcome the sadness of knowing he isn't close by any more, or at least for 3-4 months! I have to remind myself that he is 25, not 18. He isn't a child, although he is MY child. I think being a part of this forum will help me a great deal.
- I am here to support or represent my:
- Brandon
- Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
- Enlisted
- When I heard “Navy,” I:
- Was proud, Encouraged him/her
- From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
- well, I'm really new so I don't know if I have learned anything yet.
- Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
- The Navy has a lot to offer, This was the best decision he/she could have made

We have something for everyone here groups from boot camp moms to overseas moms and moms that like to scrap book. We have meet and greets to events that the moms set up to meet each other and have dinner or an outing. There are groups to help you with each and every step of this wonderful adventure that our children have chosen called the US Navy.
Please tell us about your sailor and what they have chosen to do in the navy and ohh yeah we LOVE pictures of everyone !!
Please let me know if you have any questions I can help you with.
