Navy Moms!
I am so excited. :)
This is the best snowball ever! I’ve been so curious…how did you find out about our community? Some moms have told me about the http://www.nstc.navy.mil/rtcgl/family/index.html site… Is that were you found us... or was it through another source? Thank you!
UPDATE 4/20/2008: Hi Everyone! I brought this forward because I really want to know! :) How did you find out about us?!
I saw a link on the Navy website if I remember correctly. Just looked again and of course now the page has been changed. At any rate, this is an awesome way for us moms to know that we're all going through the same things - just like our kids
Love from Texas,

I found out about navyformoms last Monday night, March 31st, on a television commercial. Sorry I can't be more specific. I stopped watching and got right on. Funny thing, the first mom I connected with has a son on the same boat as one of my sons. Thanks for all the work put into the sight. I've been almost six years following my sons and wish this was available back then. I know how helpful this is for new moms. Keep up the good work!!
I was feeling very depressed because my sailor son had just left today.So ,I started searching for poems to my son and found this website.Finally,a place where people can really understand my feelings.Thank you soo much!
You're right Teresa... I would have also gone nuts these past two months without the supportive people here at NFM's.
I spent most of the first week after Em's departure crying at anything reminded me of her. Thankfully all the women I have encountered here have been supportive and a good sounding board for me.
Now that I am on the countdown to PIR on 4/18 I have a good grasp on my daughter being an adult member of society instead of being mommy's little girl. She will always be my daughter, but after 4/18 she will belong to the US Navy as a SAILOR
I found the site 3 weeks in. I sure wish the recruiter would have told us. We didn't have anything like this when my husband was in.I have made so many new friends on here, I hope we can all stay in contact after PIR 4-18. I sure wish I was here Week 1-3.Oh well I'm here to stay now.
I found out about you on two other sites. www.navy-parents.com and www.mynavyonline.com. Both are great sites and are willing to share other good sites with their members.
