Good morning omama and Oldlady!!!! Sorry I was away from my PC. Ok, I am not the greatest teacher here but I wrote it down as I did it so here goes...
At the top right of page there a a box that has your name. Under that it lists sigb out/in, inbox, alerts and then SETTINGS..click on that...next, under my Settings, click on privacy. I checked everything to say "Just my friends" At the bottom of the page it should say SAVE.
This should do it for you. There was a message this morning saying the link to 295/296 was fixed. Good Luck!!!! Message me if you have a problem.

I just realized I wont be with you all when you transfer over to group 295/296, It is bitter sweet, since my son goes in another direction after PIR, I wish you all the best and will be wondering if my son will be assigned to support his Navy seal friends as the Avionics guy for their unit, in the future. I am sure they will be bonded over this boot camp experience and are looking forward to working together. My son said that he has made such good friends all seals, and it will be hard to say goodbye to them. they are like his brothers.

omama, I am sure his good friends will keep in touch and hopefully meet up again sometime down the road. The SEAL guys still have a long way to go. Both my boys still have friends they met in BC and keep track of each others progress. My oldest even met up with a BC buddy from 6 years ago, this past Christmas. They all have been through so much and formed close bonds that they will never forget.

Ok seriously, who misses every call their Sr makes....... can you believe he called tonight, and No one was home we all went to the movies, so our cell phones were on silent, this is not funny. He even left a message saying he was allowed to make the call because we were leaving before he would be able to call again, I am sooooooo bumed out!! I just have not had good luck with the timing of the phone calls.

Just a question: will 809 be sitting in the same area? (fingers crossed).... Also I am impressed that you know what you will be wearing!! I have not a clue. I am in Myrtle Beach for my daughters cheer competition. As you can see I am still pluged into what's going on as I am afraid I may miss some big news. lol. I will no sooner get home and then turn around to go to PIR! Omama is already leaving? She is really anxious.

I'm with you judge. I don't know what I'll be wearing yet but I am from a part of Texas where the men all wear boots and the women all wear smiles! Seriously though, I will be with 3 men with grey hair. They are not old, they just have grey hair!!!! and my daughter is almost 6' tall. I can't wait to see my new friends in person. God bless you all with safe travels and God Bless our boys!!!
PS...I have a little bit of land and it is all covered with wild flowers right now!! Bluebonnets and others!! There will be Butterflies everywhere soon.! About 10 miles down the road from me there will be a butterfly festival in a couple of weeks.
