One more thing... Bruno mentioned in all of our letters how much it means to him to get letters from us!! He said keep those letters coming because they are the only think keeping him sane in boot camp. He really appreciates the pictures as well. ...

Same goes for you Lindsay!! I don't know about you but I was secretly hoping for a call today thinking that today marks 3 weeks so maybe, maybe, maybe. It would just be SO nice if they would let our guys toss us one letter or call in that first we...

Hi Audra, I couldn't have said it better myself. It is providing a little comfort knowing that our division is experiencing the SAME thing that I am....I hear what you were saying about reading the other threads, etc. It was making me upset too! ...

Goodbyes Really Suck and Cell Phones Really Rock

So... it finally came. Departure day. Last November when my son enlisted in the DEP program, September 2 seemed so far away! Once he graduated from high school, though, and the summer began... time went by in a flash! Suddenly we realized that we had a ton of things we wanted to do and a lot of trips we wanted to take before he left for boot camp.

This was a MAJOR summer for him. Let's see... he graduated from the Space & Engineering Academy, then high school! He got his black belt in karat… Continue

Hello Audra
Navy For Moms didn’t exist until March 2008. N4Ms has been God send for so many of us, providing an incredible internet support system – a place to ask questions, express our concerns and share our joys. Since you live in Northern California, I just want to invite you to join the Northern California Navy Moms Group. We have had four get-togethers this month. We have one more event coming up in October - opportunity to meet other Navy moms.

Sept 5 - San Francisco (6 attended)
Sept 9 - Sacramento (14 attended)
Sept 13 - Nevada City (5 attended)
Sept 20 - San Jose (11 attended)
October 25 - Los Altos - upcoming

Click HERE for link to the Northern California Navy Moms group. After you join, post a comment and introduce yourself to the group. Be sure to check on this site regularly for updates on events and comments.
My son is currently out on deployment - on a sub.
Regards, Bea

We have like 4 or 5 informal meet and greets being planned in the No Cal Mom's group right now. If you go into the group and then look at the discussions, there is a link to a listing of upcoming 'events'. Great way to meet up with other Navy families.

I know what you mean about this all being overwhelming. I found this website MONTHS before my son left for boot camp. Sometimes I think I knew more of what he would be going through than he did. Some of it was scary, but it all helped prepare me for what was to come. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. We all believe in paying forward the help and support we have gotten when we needed it.

Division #: Once he has been gone for a couple of days, his recruiter should be able to give you his address. That will have his division #. If the recruiter can't help you out, you'll get it in his form letter (about a week after he left).

GOOD LUCK!!

Hi from Rancho Cordova (just outside Sacramento). I read your blog and thought you might like to join a couple of groups on the website. First, I recommend Boot Camp Moms. A great bunch of ladies to help you through the phases of Boot Camp. Once you know his Div #, you can meet up with other moms in the same Div. Also, watch for a group with your PIR (graduation) date. It's nice to get to know these moms too. Finally, there is a No Cal Mom's group. We are having a get together next Wednesday, 9/9 at the Spaghetti Factory in Rancho Cordova. We would love to have you come! Welcome aboard this rollercoaster called 'Navy Life'.
