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

cut and paste? what a lovely idea...
also, have you been watching the boxing match in New Guideline rules? I have been busting my gut laughing. Spider has bitten off more than she can eat. KRN is chewing her up and spitting spider out! I am going to send KRN mouthwash, I would say KRN has kicked spiders ass, and also corrected spiders DOC remark, my God it takes years of schooling to be a medical doc, gees, spider should wake up and get real! a job is a job if you want a DOC you better go to school for that! I give KRN round 4 KO! The spider is out of her web and dangling, she needs a DOC! lol
I left out the lovely descriptions about odors and women's body parts that you and your friends revel in....I kinda just thought it was this Krby person, but after those little "jokes" last night, maybe you do make a contribution or two to that type of "literature". That little "snake" comment was funny tho, I had no idea snakes had body fluids like that.
If anyone needs a link to the above ""blog" please PM me. It's quite interesting, really...let's get the whole 20,000 Navy moms reading it. And realize that if you don't "play nice" with this group of women, this is what you get to read about yourself...high school level ranting of filthy words and nasty body part comments. Kind of like those people they hire to disrupt the Health Care Information Town Halls....must be easy to find that type in those GOP groups, I guess.
I hear you're rehashing the lies/stories you told about my son..of course, you keep your page private here...and allow no comments on your blogger blog, you are really good at this keep only one side out there, no wonder the GOP is your calling. I hate to disappoint you, but I'm don't read that blog of yours, it's too wordy and boring.
Just not feeling that chewed up or spit out yet...just watching you give yourself enough rope...have a wonderful day, don't hurt anyone!

by the way, I cut and pasted to the Mom's chat blog to document this blog, entries have a way of disappearing here, don't they? It's all old news, I just opened it up for anyone who wants to have a place to vent when they are attacked on this board. As for another Navy mom's blog? that's her right and call to do so. You don't want to be tagged with another's blog you say you don't post on, yet you hold me responsible for the same...double standard, Katy...pay attention, now.
