DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

Did she went to Hair 360?
Comment by Earl's_Wife on March 9, 2013 at 5:35pm
Horrible, well I hope they can fix it and she is happy with the final product.
Comment by Earl's_Wife on March 9, 2013 at 5:13pm
Your Welcome! I know how it feels, honestly that's one of the things I most hate about moving finding a new Salon. I'm very picky with my hair and before the NAVY I was going to the same Salon for over 15 years so is hard to find someone that understand your hair.

It will depend on the Captain and the situation what he got in trouble for. Some of the punishments are demotion, pay suspension, the brig or even getting kicked out of the Navy. It will all depend on why he got in trouble for. Oh and he better be sure to not violate his restriction because that will get him in even more trouble. I know it sucks been restricted but tell him to just do his job and keep his head low for now, because there are things that are not worth loose your job for. I know someone that was complaining about his restriction and extra job duty and got mouthy with his PO and got send back to the Capt and kicked out.

Earls Wife...Prior to knowing what was going on, I sent an email to his Wasp email, he responded this morning to me.  Said he was on restrictions until the end of the month.  But tell your hubby thanks for making the offer.  If he would like to meet him though, his name is OS3 Hanson.  If they get in trouble do they take rank away? Just curious.

Jacky I ask hubby and he said to send his info and he can try to contact him.
Comment by Earl's_Wife on March 9, 2013 at 1:16pm
Jacky my hubby was in security, but he finish his special duty last week so he is back his actual job. But if you send me a message with his info he might be able to do it.

Gonavymom - I had the same problem when I went to the first salon here they killed my hair. Now I go to Hair 360 Salon in VA Beach. I have go only couple times but I like it, they do a good job plus give 10% discount to all military. Tell her to make an appt with Amber here is their website
