Gifts?

Ok yall...please explain this 'gifting" business! I know I'm not computer literate, my 17 yr old will tell you that. I could follow directions...if there were any...and not difficult to follow. I hear some snickers out there! I 'gifted' a box to a friend on N4M's, used 75 credits. Logged onto Navy Dads and found I couldn't 'gift' Michele because I only had 25 credits left. Huh?! How do you get more credits so I can cutsie up some dad pages with teddy bears and such? Heehee

dealing with banks

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

Worried father

My daughter is a new Navy doctor doing rotations at Portsmouth VA Navy Hospital. I'm very worried about her. She has to work 12 to 15 hours a day, and make good medical decisions every time. She feels that if she asked her resident for help with all the paperwork ect. she will be transfered to a "out of the states" assignment. Is she right ? Can anyone help ?

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.

After graduation he brought stuff at the Nex. His pay is direct deposited and with direct deposit there is something called Navchek… Continue

Sea Cadets

My son and I were involved in The United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps. I still am. He graduated out as CPO. The correspondence courses are the same as the Navy. We drill with the Navy and we do a wide variety of summer trainings. www.seacadets.org. It is a great youth program. Whatever the Navy does we do on a smaller scale. I cannot recommend this program enough. We have had several appointments to Anapolis, Coast Guard Academy and Colorado Springs.



I did want to point out something… Continue
