BLW --

Have you updated or changed your browser?  I did and now have all kinds of problems.  I was actually having another issue and wasn't able to respond to a private message from site support.  Thank goodness they left me an e-mail address as well.  When I mentioned my difficulty responding to private messages, they responded with this:

You mentioned your inbox was not working and a few others have reached out to me
regarding the same issue. Ning, our host site, responded with the
below:

"Sorry to hear your members are experiencing this issue! It sounds
like they might be using a browser that isn't supported, as we've received other
reports of people being unable to send or receive messages, only to find out it
was because they were using Internet Explorer 9. Internet Explorer 9 and Chrome
11.0 are both recently released browser versions that are not at this time
supported on the platform. Please suggest to your members who have reported this
issue that they try accessing the network in a different browser, such as
Firefox or Safari and see if that helps."

Please try a different browser
and let me know how it works.

Yes, they can go off base and will likely have Monday off. There's a discussion somewhere above that says "your sailor's schedule upon arriving". it'll tell you about what is allowed during each phase. Not sure if you saw this on the Nuke School Charleston site.

Hello everyone! I'm a newbie.  I have a question.  How does liberty work for the 4th of July weekend for sailors just arriving to "A" School down in Goose Creek. It falls about two weeks after arriving.  I'm assuming no overnight until they phase up, but will they have sat, sun and mon liberty during the day? off-base? Would this be a good time to visit?

I know I have shared this before, but just thought I'd share it again.  This site helps to feed homeless and hungry veterans.  they have some awesome stuff and prices aren't bad at all.  A lot of great gifts.

Shop to fund meals for homeless veterans: http://www.shop2give.us/Tr oopDeal

I saw a Senator or Congress Woman, can't remember which( she is the chairperson for the Veteran's admin., or something like that), on the news this morning, talking about our vets and how there is a 27% unemployment rate with vets.  It is so sad.  So many of our men and women come home and don't feel that their military experience translates into skills and they often leave their military service off of their resumes because they feel like their resume is put at the bottom of the pile.  As this lady said, our vets are the most hard working, punctual, team players an employer will ever find, and their military training and job skills should be highly sought after. 

She said they are working on trying to get legislation to give military college credits or certifications for their military work so that this will carry with them, rather than them having to start over, when they get out of the military.  This is sooooo the right thing to do.

 

A very Blessed Memorial Day to all our vets and to all our current military personnel.  Your service is truly appreciated and never forgotten.

hey MN mommas, drive straight south through Memphis.  I'll put you up overnight going and coming home...and the price is right!  We'll be gone the weekend of June 10/11/12 but other than that, mi casa su casa.  I'm serious!  the largest group we've had over was 18 from Ft. Worth going to VA.  "friend" me here on N4M if it might work for you!   sorry, though, still haven't tried to make cake balls.  Would u settle for granola and yogurt?  :)

Macys has all of it's formal dresses on Clearance right now, check that out. Prom is over so there are a TON of dresses priced really, really cheap to clear.

Oh, and two of the girls have issues ordering dresses online. which I understand, it just makes it extremely hard to find royal purple dresses under 100 in our small town! MichPad can attest to the lack of cheaper dress stores in our area :/

Ya I wanted all the girls to have different dresses too. I'll definitely check out that Light in a box website, Thanks!!! I'm trying to keep the dresses under 100 for the girls because we're all broke college students lol

 

New idea is all black dresses of all different styles but doing purple (wedding color) hair accessories, flowers, bows, and shoes. Then we can get the dresses elsewhere because Davids Bridal is on my hit list!

yes, I love the idea of the different styles of dresses...Sarah is open to that as well!  So that might be the way we go!

 

BTW...THANKS for sharing your family members!  Happy Memorial Day to you all and thanks for your sacrifice!  I love ya all and your service members!!!

Amanda, I found a website where you can choose the color of the dresses and they'll make it for you.  I think it's called Light in the Box.  I haven't ordered anything from them but I have read glowing reviews.
