The goal was to change the perceptions that mothers and fathers have of having their child enlist in the U.S. Navy. The first step was building a social networking site where moms of high school/ college-aged kids can talk to moms who currently have children serving in the Navy. They learn the benefits of the Navy from their peers rather than from recruiters. The Navy's New England pilot brought members to NavyForMoms.com in record numbers. The site exceeded its annual membership objective in less than six months. Truly viral, members hail from all 50 states and overseas.
