dealing with banks

Posted on October 22, 2009 at 11:42am 1 Comment

I called a friend of mine that has retired from the banking industry and explained to him my situation. What he said made a lot of sense to me, so I am writing it here in the hope that it will be as plain to you as it was to me after hearing it. T he banking industry has us kind of brainwashed. We use our cards like credit cards, but navfed has their cards named right (chekcard), if your card is linked to your checking account, it is in essense a check and should be treated as a check, when we… Continue

Emanuel and the Bank 2

What Emanuel and I decided to do to try to keep him with a positive balance in the bank , was to get a prepaid debit card , So now that he has a positive balance, when he gets paid he takes some money out of his account with Navyfed and puts it on the prepaid card and this way he can't spend but what is on the prepaid card and can better keep control of his spending. thanks for all the responses. it makes me feel that my blog was worthwhile

Emanuel and The bank

I am putting this information out for our members to possibly help their relations that joined the military with understanding the banking system. I am not doing this to critizize the bank. My son jopined the Navy June of this year. When I went to Great Lakes for his graduation it costs us about $1000 for three days , a car and r/t plane. (I am retired on SS). After graduation he brought stuff at the Nex. His pay is direct deposited and with direct deposit there is something called Navchek… Continue

James, Welcome Aboard!

My son is an ABE aboard the USS Ronald Reagan in San Diego, Ca. and my family and I couldn't be prouder of him. When he first enlisted I found NavyForMoms in searching for answers to my son's future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads like n4m's but I was wrong. So I started this site so us dads would also have a place to call home. I'm new at this and I hope this site will benefit fathers that come behind us. So jump right in share concerns, join groups, share info, and show off your Sailor. I'm so glad to find out their are so many proud Navy Dads just like myself. I hope this site benefits you and your family throughout your sons journey in the Navy. Thank Emanuel for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.

Sincerely, EG

Welcome to NavyDads James! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun, useful, and educational as I have. Explore the site and make some friends, add your comments to a discussion or two, read the postings in the various groups-- even start one or two. I certainly have! If you have any questions or concerns about your sailor and what he is going through...ask! I'm sure someone here will have the answer or can point you in the right direction to find out. I'm lucky enough to have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM3) recently returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) returned last fall from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And James this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Emanuel is doing! We do ask that you remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors in mind at all times. On the right side of every NavyDads page is an area we call About This Site. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link and the NavyDads Guidelines link. And stop by the NavyDads offical store- Navyoutfitters.com. Show your support for NavyDads by wearing the latest in NavyDads attire. Best Regards- Paul
