What an exciting week that was capped by “take shelter in your vehicles”! LOL I wonder how long it took the Class President to write and rehearse the speech that we never heard. Never thought I would be COMFORTABLE in my choker for wearing it all day, had a family lunch in DTA, and then got...

2018 I gave DD1 her first salute and she then re-enlisted me for my last 4 years. We did it on the 50 yard line. 2022 I will be giving DD2 her first salute, location TBD. I will be retiring after serving over 30 years in a few months. Time to go! Hi @Capt MJ @usnabgo08 @Happy2BaNavyMom and...

^^ This! The availability of social media is causing more venting. I suspect many will be just that, vent, but not actually DOR. That said, military life is what they sign up for, and DOR is always on the table if so desired, with or without paying back. Maybe I am getting closer to retirement...

Thank you, CAPT! Extended cruise was nice. Been gone longer than most deployments since I was last on SAF. Lots of fun threads nowadays, I see. I am going after a healthy lifestyle/diet so no bacon for me. Trying to make sure my choker white still fit at DD2’s commissioning next year. It’s a...

Congrats, @juanortiz28 ! Strongly recommend opening a Navy Federal account for smooth sailing with your pay (info in PTR) if you don’t have an account with them already, and you have a branch in Bancroft you can walk into to talk to a person. Many swear by USAA, but I recommend opening an...

That’s why we play cribbage! Hi Hoops!

Congrats, Stealth and even more so for your son #1! A few months ago DW and I were pierside watching DD1’s ship pull in. What an incredible proud moment especially considering twenty some years ago DW was holding her waiting for me on the pier! It was most definitely one of the best days of my life!

Howdy y’all! My oh my...this place looks different, except we still have CAPT, Hoops, usnabgo08 and many other old hands helping the candidates and parents one post at a time! For those who care but haven’t heard already, Dant said 150 miles is the radius for mids and he encourages them to run...

Different strokes for different folks.

Happy Mother's Day to those who wear a uniform, especially those who are deployed and in harm's way! Be safe out there!!!

I can't believe what I just read. Is it a priority or is it only "rising as a priority"? :(

I only have a basic account with USAA and I am not using their products. I am so sorry to see so many long time posters with good intentions trying to suggest opening an account for the right reasons, only to see the runaround and frustration many had to endure. I love what USAA does for our...

Maverick might not have been late to join Iceman?

Glad you like them! I saw them in person in February and they are beautiful! You know I won't steer anyone on SAF astray! ;)

Some of the swags have arrived in the Midstore! Bring your favorite plastic with empty suitcases on your next visit!

And gasoline was probably under $1 per gallon then too... (okay, I need to tread carefully...) but I digress! :D

Regarding NFCU: And use ATMs in any 7-Eleven for free, or get reimbursed using other ones: Extra benefits with NFCU early on: open a credit card to build credit worthiness early. NFCU gives you $1000 credit limit Plebe year; $2000 Youngster year; $3000 Second Class year and $4000 Firstie...

I hope you won't get mad, @BTCS/USN, but this is exactly where I'd say "you can't trust an even number"! :shake:

Did he gain all that back, or just the lean muscle mass? ;)
