Hi everyone. I don't have a sailor in this group. My sailor's commitment will end next year. Hard to believe - seems like it was just yesterday. I just wanted everyone to know that we have tabulated a number of lists of groups for you. Here is what we have for your future reference.
GROUPS: Listed by Name of US Naval Ship
GROUPS: Listed by PIR Date - Pass In Review (Boot Camp Graduation)
GROUPS: Listed by Navy Job Rating
GROUPS: Listed by Geographical Location (States, City, Country)
GROUPS: Listed by Special Interest
Under Job Rating, lemonelephant also included list of A schools.
gsskygirl, this will be buried over time with more comments. A feature many don't know about is the use of PAGES. I would recommend adding a page and putting the above links (just copy and paste) in the contents part of the page (just like adding a discussion). Click Options, click "Add a Page" to start a page. The Title for the page will be visible just underneath the icons for the members. Title this page MASTER LIST OF GROUPS. I normally do not check "Allow comments" - click Save when done. Don't worry about updating this list - a number of us will do that automatically. The link won't change. If you want to see how I use this, check out these two groups.
