“Everybody love everybody” – Jackie Moon in the movie Semi- Pro

So if you get upset, and you write it on the public boards, note that hundreds of others will read it, including new moms who kids are thinking about joining the navy. Is that the impression we want… Continue

Admin Tip of the day 3/18/2008: Be Best Friends w/ the Search Button

Hi Navy Family : )

All right, I am getting down on my knees and I am begging you (from the bottom of my heart) to PLEASE all start using the search function more often...actually- use it BEFORE you even want to start a new discussion. I feel like I like I’m having some major cases of déjàvu. We have so many GREAT conversations already started on hotels, and empty nests, PIR, etc, etc, etc… that I really need everyone to search before you ask (pretty… Continue

Admin's Tip of the Day :) 4/17/2008 You are unique!

Hello Ladies and Gentleman:

So as we near 500, we have many duplicate names. (IE, We have 10 Lisa's, 6 Karen's, 6 Sue's, and 9 Debbie’s). I am asking you to please make your name unique (pretty please... I am starting to get a little confused reading the forums... and sometimes I can't tell what Karen or Lisa I am reading about.) I don't mind if you have your first name still in your display name... I just need more than that. You don't have to use your last name...just something that you… Continue

**ADMIN NEWS UPDATE: PIR**

Hey Everyone!



Okay- I wanted to make a blog about this to spread the word as fast as possible (and it’s good news!).



There was some chatter that RTC may be holding off visitors for graduation due to heighten security. But I am here to tell you to breath easy. And relax. Hehe.

For sailors that are graduating this weekend, everything planned to go on as normal. My cohorts have told me that there IS NOT heightened security (It may of gone up around the time when VP Dick… Continue
