Hi Catherine - I joined this site years ago - I just don't post - rarely-never.
I come and read sometimes - when I have a little extra time.
I come from a Navy family - my dad was in for 23 yrs., my brother was in for 23 yrs., my son has been in now for 14 yrs. and just re-upped for another 3 yrs.
Hi, I hope you can address our concerns. We are with Molly's Adopt A Sailor. The creator is inactive and we are concerned that if "Shell" is deleted due to inactivity, the "Molly's" page will be lost. That would be a TERRIBLE thing for the sailors we adopt every month.
I just want to express my extreme gratitude to all those who worked to get our website back up and running!!!! I've missed my contact with my Navy Sisters!!! If there is anything I can do to help please reach out to me!!!!
Hi, It is my understanding that N4Ms has had a change in the supporting organization for this site and now no new members can join? As a navy mother, I am here to say this site has been of the utmost importance to me as I endeavor to support my son through his naval career. This news is distressing. Is there anything we can do as users of this website to maintain this system? Is there anyone we need to contact? I cannot stress the importance of N4M for both parents and sailors. Please support this vital service.
I sent you another message - still trying to find out the status of the new member situation. We have many concerned parents....our nuke mom's group is asking if there is someone we can contact to express our concerns???
I don't see where my zip code is posted and other than my city (does that need to be removed?) am not sure what identifying information is seen by others. I didn't think I had posted any of that. Have you seen mistakes in my profile?
Hello, I've sent you a couple of messages via emIl and your in-box, inbox...but no respnse yet? I know you must be busy with so many things, but we need help with an established group on NFM, please?? Hope you can get back to me, thanks ! storymom (Aircrew Admin)

Pat L. in IL - the group won't be deleted, even if the creator is inactive or deleted.

How do I unsubscribe to Navy Moms?

Hi Erin,
I don't see where my zip code is posted and other than my city (does that need to be removed?) am not sure what identifying information is seen by others. I didn't think I had posted any of that. Have you seen mistakes in my profile?
I've sent you a couple of messages - trying to find out the "new member" situation....any info is greatly appreciated!
Need advice about which group I should join. Our son will be a submarine in Bangor, WA. Any suggestions?
Thank you for you help with ' Crockpot Navy Moms ' group/page! We appreciate you ♥♥
Thank you for your warm welcome. This site has been extremely helpful. :)
