Thank you so much. However, this requires me to go individually go into each record to alert on it. What if I want an alert on a particuliar field in the data entry form? ie, Deployments Field so for any project which edits that I can get an alert? Thanks!

I don't think you have this right.  When you create an email notification you are doing that at the table level, not at the record level.  So it will apply to ANY record that meets the criteria that you setup for the notification to fire.  I think you may need to re-read that link, specifically #5

see screenshot

This worked. Thank you so much !

Is it possible to create alerts for specific records?

Yes, just add in a condition to the Notification

 and after the record is saved
any of the following are true

[Record ID#] is 1234
[Record ID#] is 5555

or any other filter which will identify records that you are watching.  You could even make a checkbox field called called [Records Jennifer is watching] and filter where tat is checked.
