Allow me to introduce myself....

Hello Vipers FRG!! As most of you know Monday, September 20th at the FRG meeting I was voted in as the new President of the FRG. I do know most of you but wanted to take a moment and introduce myself. My name is Renee Wilke and I have been a Viper wife for a little over a year. My husband is AE1 James Wilke and is the current LPO for Det 4. He has been in the Navy for a 15 1/2 years. We have 3 children Ashlee, 14; Chris, 12; and Kortnee, 9. Our upcoming depoyment will our 5th one so I've had a little experience with them. I look forward to working with you guys as well as being here for you for anything you might need.  Sincerely, Renee Wilke

K7 Voicemail

I just added this link under the "Helpful Military Links" section of the website.  I love this site!  When my husband was deployed, I signed up for him, using his email address and created a password.  He received a phone number, and I used that number to call him and leave voicemails.  The voicemails were sent to him via low-bandwidth email, so that he could hear our voices while he's gone without bogging down the ship's internet (by clicking on a link in the email, I believe, and entering his password).  You can also fax things to that phone number and they will receive the fax in an email.  The phone number does not have a local area code, but if you have a top 5/10/whatever friends with your cell phone plan, or unlimited long distance with your home phone, it will be completely free to call and leave messages.  I actually used this so much, that my husband had to remind me that I could email him, too.  He would save and/or print the emails and reread them when he was missing us, but I think K7 only saves a few of the most recent voicemails. 

Enjoy the link!
