Meet

Karen's

nuclear

family.

Jacob and Jarrod had always excelled in math and science. Still, Karen Gallagher

was pretty surprised when her sons announced they had been accepted into

the Navy's Nuclear Propulsion Program. Of course, after surprised came nervous,

proud, scared and a host of other emotions.

After all, being accepted into an elite program doesn't ease the fears of the

unknown that most moms have. Like, where will they be stationed? How often

will I see them? What about college?

Thankfully, now you can find unbiased information about Navy life at a Web

site designed just for moms of prospective Sailors - NAVYForMoms.com.That's

where moms in the know, just like Karen (username Karen Gallagher), are

standing by with no-nonsense advice to make your transition from mom to

Navy mom just a little bit easier.
