Comment by tracysue10 on October 29, 2014 at 1:45pm: So excited!! We got a letter from the son today. Seems to be ok. Can't wait til boot camp over and I can chat with him regularly.

Comment by CryptoDad on October 29, 2014 at 9:08am: Any of the oldtimers remember the Navy mom dissing on her DIL and the Navy wife dissing on her MIL. Totally oblivious that they were dissing on each other on N4M. That got awkward.

You never know when the person you bad mouth on the web is reading everything you say.

Comment by CatMom509 on October 29, 2014 at 4:17am: Kimberly723,

I usually post this later, but here's the info to get a deal from Enterprise Rent-a-Car:

The IPASS was only $6.95 each day from Enterprise Rent-a-Car. I reserved a rental car using an upgrade coupon #ASTMCUG. Call 866-502-1257 if the online system won't take the coupon. It's good until 12-31-2014. Their customer service was outstanding and their vehicle was very clean. All their vehciles go through their car wash before being rented again. Their shuttle pulled right up to the Ground Transportation median at Chicago O'Hare when we walked up. Not sure the arrangement at Midway or Milwaukee, but sure they have Enterprise too~~

Comment by CatMom509 on October 29, 2014 at 4:12am: diannep,

That's an amazing story about that wife and other lady posting that on here...

Comment by CatMom509 on October 29, 2014 at 4:11am: Lyrics,

If all the military branches used the same terms for everything, that would be wayyyy to easy for us!! Lol!!

Comment by Tabluckev on October 28, 2014 at 11:22pm: yes he is, Kimberly. I got the letter today

Comment by Tabluckev on October 28, 2014 at 11:08pm: My son is also DIV 803. I'm trying to figure out all of this Navy speak!!!

Comment by diannep on October 28, 2014 at 10:26pm: ktsmom: The same rules apply for FB as on here. Yes, that is the hard part....the last name exposure on FB, if it is the same as the SR's last name. There are no SR's last names allowed on N4Moms, but hard to control that on FB. There are some administrators on there too trying to make sure to keep personal details off of there, but last names are a problem.

I feel as My3kidz does. Although I am personally on FB, I do not join the Navy groups. There are RDCs (your SRs' bosses!) who manage to get in those group (even though private....they still manage to get on them), as well as on here at times. That is why we tell all to be careful in what you post....posting a SR's entire letter on here, or personal info he/she may have shared with you, meant only for YOUR eyes/ears, is a no no.

I remember once years back when the wife of a SR posted that her hubby hated his RDC, Chief ______. Typed the name right there. On this site. I was stunned when I saw that. Another lady posted in answer to her that at PIR, she needed to go up to that Chief and "kick him in the ___." YIKES! Needless to say, the group creator got those comments off immediately. It would not have been hard to trace those comments back to that particular SR since she had exposed too much personal info---that RDC would have had a heyday with that info!!!. That would NOT have been a good thing!

So when in doubt on what to post here, please ask or don't. Best to post any general info you want and of course, questions on here are always welcome!
