My hubby passed on this request for help.
***************************
Hello everyone! This is Co-Admin Jim from NavyDads.com. I would like to share a message with you from another Navy Dad. I'm sure after you read this, you'll understand how important this is."Our family just moved into our new home, after living in a hotel for two months. Everything came out of storage safely, except for one box that the movers effectively compacted into a flapjack with their lift-gate. That box had our sons graduation video in it, and it was completely destroyed. We didn't have a backup. The company that makes and sells the videos keeps the files for only about two months, so they couldn't help us. That graduation was the proudest moment my wife and I could remember (he is now an MA stationed near Florida) and the loss of this disk was heartbreaking. He was in Division 090, and graduated on February 8th of 2013. Is there anyone that might have that that DVD and would be willing to either send us a copy or send the disk to me so I can make a copy and send it back to you? I can cover all shipping costs of course, but I need a copy of that video disk! If you can help, please contact me at frogprinting@msn.com."This is from Allen Elliot.Thank you for your time and if you can help, that would be great!JimVisit Navy Dads at: http://www.navydads.com/?xg_source=msg_mes_networkTo control which emails you receive on Navy Dads, click here

Is there anyone here who has an Officer starting Nuclear power school soon? my son just arrived on GC ready for round 2 of power school- he went through as enlisted 4 years ago! We had a nice group of moms for that journey - hoping to connect with a group for this Journey!

My heart breaks for this sailor, his family and his shipmates. Praying that somehow that he will still be found.

CNN has just reported that the Navy has called off the search for the missing pilot after 36 hrs. My heart breaks for his family. How awful that he may never be found. Praying that all the rest of the Vinson crew will return home safely.

I hate so bad to hear this and will be praying for the sailors and their families. Please keep us updated.
