Peaches, I don't think there is a "Navy for Moms" page on FB. We both were on late last night. ;) Yep I am also guilty of always being on FB (I check it about 3 times a day) LOL Btw I already made the name of the group. IF you've signed on there than you already know that we have the group now AND the "Event invitation" page has also been sent out. (yep that's 2 pages, one GROUP page and one EVENT page LOL The page has been started and there are 8 of us on the member list... hopefully it will grow by leaps and bounds before the 23rd!

Yes, I hope to get as many connected as I can before I leave. I am leaving tomorrow night really late. I am however taking my laptop so if we are not already friends on facebook send me your info so I can add you as a friend. Thanks so much, Lora

Okay I cant post the link to the FB reunion group because its a private group so only members can see it. So that means you'll have to be on FB and have a friend who already has access to the page. If you do NOT have any Navy4moms on your FB list, PLEASE see "Lala"s post below and send her an email and she'll get you connected. And maybe you should send me an inbox message here as well (because Lala is going out of town, I think very soon) and I'll see about getting you connected.

Also.. PLEASE PLEASE... if you have ANY pictures from our Meet n Greet AND ones you took from PIR and your weekend with your sailor get your scanners ready and upload them to your PC so you can then upload them to the FB group page so we can share. I think it will be fun to see pictures during our reunion.
Thanks,
Incognito

Please look for details on the web address to be posted here for the PIR REUNION for our group. OR if I am not permitted to post it, be sure you friend request me on HERE so I can send it to your N4M inbox. I will create a FB GROUP page that will be set to PRIVATE but you can and SHOULD invite all your PIR 7/23.2010 "Sash Sistah's" all you have to do on that is look for the link to "invite friends" and your entire friends list will pop up...the pics that are slightly shaded are ones who have already received an invite from someone but if you see one pic that is DARKER or "normal" in color then PLEASE be sure to invite that person. As Lora "Lala" said, this event will be an all day thing or even maybe over several days if some want it to be. This will be a PERMANENT page where we can leave each other messages or start up a conversation. We will have more privacy there than we do here. Not that we should abandon this wonderful site, NO not ever, just saying we can really let it all hang out there. I am going to send this info to inboxes as well. We do want to reach as many as we can.
Thanks
"Always Incognito" <-----yeah right, but NOT on FB LOL

Hi Ladies it has been a long time since I have been on this site, Looking forward to the reunion

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a fantastic summer, we are leaving on Friday very early for our Honeymoon in the Keys. We are very excited about it.
By now many of you have probably heard from Incognito about having a "reunion" for our PIR group. We plan to have a private facebook page so that we can all chat and catch up with each other and of course talk about our Sailors and where they are now in their Navy Career. So much has changed for many of us in the last year and it is hard to believe how quickly this year has gone by. Please send me an email and get in contact with all your friends from our group so that we can all "hangout". We are planning on doing this on July 23rd starting around 6pm and going until we are too tired to go any more lol. You can stop by and visit for a while and then maybe come back on again later or you can hang out the whole time. With the different time zones I am expecting this to last for several hours. Please send me you info so we can friend you on facebook. My email is uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com
I can't wait to hear from everyone. Lala

Hello Ladies,
Hope your Forth of July weekend is going good. My sailor is home for his last weekend visit. He will be leaving for Japan (6mo) sometime with in the next two weeks. He is doing very well and I think happy to be going on deployment, very excited for his future to start. Well it is very hot here today in south Orange County, so we have deceided to take the boat out and just cruise through Newport Beach. Should be fun, get some food and people watch from the water. Have a safe and wonderful Fourth.
Joanne
