My son recently enlisted in the Navy. I found navyformoms in searching for answers to my sons future. I looked for a dads site and couldn't find one. So I started navydads.com I thought a mother started n4m's and found out about the Navy's involment and CE's. We have even linked together in the other navy communties forum in our about this site. I have been researching how n4m's got started and stumbled on your blog. I too wonder why the Navy would not own n4m's or n4d's. Like I said my son is a newbie but I know Master Chief is way up their so thanks for your help and insight. Also please join us dads. I'm sure their is alot you can help us with.

I have served on CNRC staff and as the Chief Recruiter of two Navy Recruiting Districts. I think the web site navyformoms.com is a good idea - a forum for parents to share thoughts and anxiety. I have two sons that also joined the Navy and even with my experience my wife loved the chance to talk and share with other Moms. NFM web site has only been up and running according to the article for a few months - I expect it to grow. My questions are not about the sites function as much as the links to online stores and the fact that it isn't registered in the name of CNRC (as navy.com is) is that an indication of CE's belief they may not be the advertising agency for Navy Recruiting this time next year. It may have just been an administrative error but if so, why no direct link from Navy.com to NFM? Is CE building a brand in the name of the Navy to hedge their bets?
