DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

IMPORTANT: Revised Community Guidelines and Policies!
Message from Rear Admiral Robin Braun
N4M Members,
As I mentioned in my previous message, we have been conducting a very thorough review of the Community Guidelines to ensure we continue to provide our members the most rewarding experience possible while respecting the freedoms our Sailors serve to protect.
As you know, the purpose of NAVYForMoms.com is to bring together Navy parents and the parents of recruiting-age young men and women to discuss the multitude of leadership, training, and career opportunities our Navy offers and the great pride Navy parents have in their children. NAVYForMoms.com exists to allow families an open forum to discuss what life in the Navy is really like.
Today, I am pleased to announce the completion of this review and the adoption of new Community Guidelines for the NAVYForMoms.com website.
The goal of the new Guidelines is to facilitate open discussion without compromising the purpose of the website, namely the exchange of information relating to service in the Navy. As I noted in my previous message, your personal freedoms are extremely important to the Navy and my hope is that these updated Guidelines provide the best possible balance between the defense of those liberties and the integrity of the website.
I encourage everyone to review the revised Community Guidelines and to become familiar with acceptable use on the NAVYForMoms.com website. The new Community Guidelines may be reviewed here.
I would like to draw your attention to the discussion of off-topic posts and the need to keep discourse civil. These rules are intended to ensure that members get the quick and useful answers to their Navy-related questions in the friendly and collegial atmosphere that has come to define NAVYForMoms.com.
Please know that NAVYForMoms members’ suggestions played a critical part in the revision of the Guidelines, and we will continue to rely on your honest feedback as we strive to provide the best possible user experience.
As always, I would like to thank you for your continued support of the Navy family and our men and women who serve our great nation.
Rear Admiral Robin Braun, USN
Commander
Navy Recruiting Command

My cookie recipe calls for half brown, half refined sugar...but I like the brown sugar flavor.
It's all good...all I want is for the stuff about my son to be removed. It's truly not good to have those things posted like that, someone would just read that krazy blogger blog and believe it. I don't know if they can make the connection but I don't want to risk it. It's not true anyway, but it is really not good for any one in the Navy to even think such a thing about any sailor in today's day and age.
He had no idea of how bitter and vile these women could be. As soon as I saw that comment asking about gay marriage, I knew exactly who would take it and run with it. And I was right.
I will be very glad when he gets into that new job where he is busy all the time!
I do not expect anyone to renounce their faith, or any of that bs...I simply want my son's good name restored and not touched by people like the ones we just witnessed pitching those hissy fits. That is what life was like on the old Scuttlebutt. Daily.
I am active in a couple of groups here, and I support my moms there...as well as ones on fb, and believe it or not, Kathleen, one good friend I've made here is a conservative Republican...who hopefully is going to help me talk my son into buying a condo instead of renting it when he's transferred. I thank her for her support and for supporting my son.

Inga good idea... I read it and I am sickened by it...
Now I like to make my killer to die for chocolate chip cookes.. I make them with a mixture of chips.. chocolate of course but I also put in butterscotch, white chocolate with walnuts I made them for my sailor when he was in Iraq he said due to the heat they became little cookie bricks and they actually took out a couple enemy locations with them.. :)

Oh and reese peanut butter chips too... how did I forget those????
-
-
I read it to mean that too

Ok when I make some I will get everyones address and send a dozen.. My sailor loved sweets however my soldier doesnt... and my poor soldier got notification he's on the verge of being flagged for being 1% over his weight.. I'm still agast at this.. 1% you'd think the Army would have something other than his weight to worry about since he's in the sand... I mean REALLY???? so I have been sending hi protien stuff healthy stuff... and some green tea water mix stuff to drink which will increase metabolisim naturally instead of what he wanted in the form of those metabolism weight loss things which are so dangerous... again 1% REALLY?? ugh
-
-
Oh and not to mention the danger of trying to lose weight in extreme heat... he's been working out a lot he's perfectly fit.. again ONE PERCENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (can you tell this highly irritates me?)

We're in the Sunbelt, retirement community as well as where he will be is a huge base, several actually...I think he'll be able to turn a condo or town home. And I will always know where my lawnmower is. In MY shed. He can always rent it out...
bs is just a term, like 'stuff"...some people say "and all that stuff" and in Texas we say "and all that bs"...don't get all paranoid.

Kathleen I know he wont get kicked out .. its just upsetting that they are even bothering with it.. its not like we are talking 30lbs here.. and he works out all the time.. well when he's not running missions which lately have been back to back...
TDM my brother was living in a condo.. when he got his new orders to seattle he had it for sale for literally 2 weeks and it sold... (so proud of my little brother LT Commander and a doctor, sorry had to brag) if he lives in a highly desirable area it will sell fast.. but if he can get a good deal on a forclosure with low enough payments he can later use it as a rental income property which will give him some really nice tax breaks... I have rental property and its saved us from paying big taxes at the end of the year...

Kathleen, go enjoy your day...or probably you have a job to do!
There will be several that come back to put in their two cents worth today, just go about your day. If anyone is that interested, they'll read the posts that are still there. I'm sure many have been/will be deleted.
I appreciate all who stepped up to support my son and his venture into the boards with Navy moms. He had no idea. I was glad to see the off site blogs have some of their posts with the lie about him removed so no more untrue rumors will come up. I hope anyone who posted, even in rebuttal, can remember and find their posts and think about deleting those as well.
thanks again.
