Profile Information
- About me:
- I am the proud Mom of a sailor currently serving with riverine unit in the war zone.
My son's father was a sailor in Viet Nam and my son was in the regular Navy during the Persian Gulf crisis. That same son re-joined the Naval Reserves several years ago. We thought he might not get called to the Iraqi turmoil but he is now active Navy and he was deployed just before Christmas 2008.
- I am here to support or represent my:
- Steven
- Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
- Enlisted, Overseas
- When I heard “Navy,” I:
- Was proud, Encouraged him/her
- From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
- the Navy taught him things I could never begin to teach him and the Navy instilled in him an espirit d' corp (sp?) as well as reaffirming our basic family values.
- Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
- Our relationship has grown stronger, This was a maturing experience, The Navy has a lot to offer, This was the best decision he/she could have made

Welcome to Navy for moms, we're all here for one another.
Feel free to write.
Take care,

My son, Steve, is a seabee in a riverine unit. He is the coxswain of the boat his unit patrols with on the river. Steve was in the regular Navy when he was right out of high school and was in the Persian Gulf crisis. Then he got married and life went on until one day he rejoined the Navy as a reservist. Then this past year they got a new CO and he decided they would go to war. So, Steve became once again ACTIVE Navy...to be deployed to Camp Patriot.
Thank you for a warm welcome. I really appreciate it.
We are so glad that you are here! This is a great place to meet others that know exactly how you feel!
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.
