Ray Norberto commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Navy Boot Camp"Piping in re: rental. Yes, the rental agreement is the ''registration".
Also, yes, when that bay door opened - first the frozen January air took our breath away, then the entry of the new Sailors brought tears that almost rendered my…"
Ray Norberto commented on Alan C Evans's group Master at Arms"Checking back in after a while off the site, I've been reading but not writin', so I just wanted to say hey to old mates and welcome the new MA dads and moms. This coming Sunday will mark a year since my son Chris received his badge.…"
Ray Norberto commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Navy Boot Camp"Hooyah Navy Dads! It's been a while since I have checked in, but I've been reading and following the groups - especially this group - with great regularity. My son's A School graduation anniversary is the 17th, and his one year…"
Ray Norberto commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Navy Boot Camp"RTC sure does inculcate some serious adherence to rules and chain of command. Last year my son kept busting on my driving habits. He said if I git pulled over and ticketed it could negatively impact his liberty. And he was NOT gentle about reminding…"
Ray Norberto commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Navy Boot Camp"Chris was a grad n go to San Antonio, so we spent all Friday afternoon and early evening with him, but had to have him back at GL by 8 pm (20:00 as he kept reminding us). We returned at 6:30, then spent the next 90 minutes breaking the bank at the…"

Ray Norberto posted a status"So I was looking forward to heading down to lower Manhattan today for a little gala celebration, but Hooyah Giants! Champs!"
Ray Norberto commented on Alan C Evans's group Master at Arms"He's stationed at NavSta Norfolk. He likes being an MA cuz it's the most like being a Marine, which was his first choice until he finally listened to his mother's concerns. He may still switch over sometime down the road in his…"
Ray Norberto commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Navy Boot Camp"Two memories from last year:
When my son had his mid RTC call it was December 10, 2010, and I almost missed it since I didn't recognize the number and I was at my bookstore; he was smart enough to call his mother, who answered me, and then…"
Ray Norberto replied to E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's discussion Operations Security (OPSEC)"Agreed. There was a good Saturday Night Live sketch several years ago when Robert DiNiro was the guest host, and the stupid questions asked my the actors was almost too close to the idiocy you see in real press conferences. I don't think the…"

Ray Norberto commented on Alan C Evans's group Master at Arms"Thanks Tom L, a week later!
I've been following the PIRs the last couple of weeks, because my son's PIR was a year ago last Saturday, and I was curious to see how the weather compared and what the experiences were."
Ray Norberto commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Navy Boot Camp"I don't know if anyone has already answered this Kevin, but the meet and greet is something that has evolved among parents who have been able to link up via this page and NavyforMoms.com, and other social media. You won't see the newly…"
