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

Inga, we're being baited....she's a pro on the online boards....now I'll get a whole page response, just wait for it!

The only blogs I read on blogger are my own...your posts are too long and drawn out.....blogs should have a flow...they aren't college lectures, they're conversations.
I'll have my daughter check it out to see if action should be taken should you unfairly and untruthfully try to slander my son in his career with the Navy one more time.

I'm sorry I have tried to write something politically correct for the last 20 minutes. KRN I for a short brief moment felt sorry for you.. under attack by so many.. but then i see you bring up someone's son again after pages ago I thought there was an apology for the actions concerning this sailor.. yet here you are again bringing it up.. you have absolutely no class.. you spoke about moslems not speaking out against the extremist.. i guess you could compare it to GOOD Christians not speaking out about the extremist in Christianity..
I lived in the moslem community for 15 years and have been to the middle east, they are good people just trying to live their lives like anyone else.. and they should never ever be held accountable for the actions of a few.. just like GOOD christians should never be held accountable for the closed minded bigotted ones...

Kathleen I havent forgotten who brought it I do remember who apologized said they deleted it from their personal blog etc etc. sorry I have no intention of scrolling through the pages to copy/paste what was written
I guess at first I was shocked to see you brought it up again though... but then I am not so surprised.. and if it makes you feel better to paint all with the liberal brush feel free but I have told you more than once that I am a Conservative Republican... and growing up in a family with my grandmother who was very good friends with the Dole family, I couldnt imagine being any other way... I guess the difference between me and most conservative republican's is that I have an open mind..doesnt make me any less of a republican though...
I am also a Christian.. however I lived in the muslim community for about 15 years with frequent trips to the middle east.. and just an FYI.. my sons are products of this community and they havent raped anyone ...

Debby carries a load that most military moms deplore, at any given time in the last few years, she has had, as she does today,at least one child in a war zone. Both her sons serve. And she gives the best financial advice for these young folks about how to save, or buy a condo, etc, from the goodness of her heart and true concern for the welfare of our young sailors.
and she's a momma dog when it comes to defending those she cares about and I'm very blessed that one of those is my son. thanks, Deb. We'll keep a close eye to make sure that none of this anti-Muslim hate talk is directed at your sons.
by the way, on this blog, it seems anyone to the left of Rush Limbaugh is called "liberal", it doesn't matter what it says on your voter registration card! sorry, Deb!!! have a great day...

good luck with that, Mary...I stepped back last night, but as you read back, you'll notice I was addressed and yet again, my son mentioned....and the "baiting" continued...just wanting me to come "fight". I have no fight. We won. A reasonable, smart, compassionate and pure patriot is now our President and my son's CIC....and he's not going to give up on taking care of Americans with no access to health care in the richest nation in the world.
so, the rest can blather on....like the Buddhist story...the elephant will continue walking, reaching its goal, while the mad dogs bark around its feet...more noise than substance, existing purely to hate. ( I love the fact that WE "liberals" are the elephant in this particular story! )
