For those of you considering whether you should go to a Meet & Greet event I would highly recommend Sarge's Meet & Greet located at the Sundance Saloon.

"K-ace" is leaving for boot camp on Jan 14th 2013.  He is my first born.  I am so completely proud of him.  I am so grateful to N4M's in that I can now lose it and cry my eyes out in anticipation of him leaving without feeling like I'm going insane.  I have held it together pretty well but these last couple of weeks have been pretty hard.  I have read don't miss em til they are gone about a hundred times, but that is so much easier said than done.  I think about him and my heart hurts, that,…

Hi All, looking for any January Boot Camp Shippers- we can support one another between now and then.  My son ships on Jan. 3rd-- 5AM is the beginning of this roller coaster ride.

Hi - How do I change the access list for the upcoming Feb1st Pass Review Graduation Ceremony?  My son put down myself and his 2 sisters, but they are unable to go.  So I want to invite his Grandparents instead. How do we get this changed?
