I have been a part of Vocalpoint since 2008. At that time I just thought it was a place to get free samples. I have learned in the past year that they offer so much more. There is a community of member who have advise on all topics. Of course they send you samples of products with some Awesome coupons ( I wish I had another BOGO of the Berry Frosted Mini Wheats), and I just recently learned that they offer "Houseparties." This is a great site to join if you are a part of a mom club, playgroup or any kind of situation where you can share the savings with other people. I have really enjoyed this site and I look forward to receiving samples and information from them in the future.   I recently just received the Swiffer 360 duster. Haven't tried it out yet but I plan to this weekend.

FRG

Most FRG's use this site

Last week we had an FRG (Family Readiness Group) Meeting. A "mandatory" FRG meeting at that. All the married soldiers were required to attend. Their spouses also, if they could. Of course only about 5 wives attended. The reason the FRG leader made this mandatory was good, but I get back to that later.

I Know, I know as soldiers  and misinformed wives we LOATHE the word, "FRG." We automatically think of the stereotypical squaking hens. Well, guess what they aren't all that. Don't get me wrong, my husband's last unit was crap. I was not welcomed at all. I also didn't take kindly to being treated like crap because I was young and new to "their" group. They thought I was ignorant and didn't know anything. "My" FRGs when I was in the army were awesome. The first one had our barracks room clean and stocked when we returned from Iraq. I had towels to shower with, laundry soap, food, soda, and they even put our linen and pillows in our room. Walking into my room felt like a hotel. Very nice to come back and not have to worry about the barracks. My second unit made us hot soup after we returned from being in the field for 2 weeks in 20 degree weather. In other words as a single soldier the FRG were adopted moms to me. They were always around to help.

Well at this meeting she had the right idea. She had every married soldier (I would have had every soldier period) fill out and FRG contact sheet. She expressed how important it is to be in contact withe the spouses. She stated she would not call anyone to participate. This info was strictly for Emergency and redeployment purposes. I had always said to do this and was always told no previously.

So the point is the FRG NEEDS to know your spouse/family members information. You can even write, "For Emergency/Redeployment purposes only," if it makes you feel better. The FRG is there to help you. To show you outlets. To help and educate the army family. Do some gossip? Yes, but you have the opportunity to change that by being involved. Just like everything else "You Get Back What You Put In."
