Hey all!
Does anyone know if they have a "graduation" from A school for DC?

Hi guys! My husband went in as DC.. his PIR is 10/24. Im really excited!
I've tried to find info on DC and can't find a lot! Seems that this works better when we all put our heads together... lol

I am going to save my pennies I guess...looks like a flight costs about 2000$ from Oklahoma! But I would love to go as well....and what better excuse than yo visit your son right! My dad was stationed in Hawaii when we were kids...I loved it....my 2 sisters were born there....we had a lot of trouble when we left the island....us kids kept getting hurt and postponing the leave...all the elders on the island said had something to do with us kids having red hair and Pele....Mom said it we went back the Menehune might not let us leave again...so......anyway lots of stories from being stationed there as a kid.....

Guam! That would be great! That was Michael's 3rd choice on his wish list. I would love to visit there, especially since we lived in Hawaii when I was in high school. (Hawaii being Michael's first choice.)

Hello - my son, Jake is a DCFN. He has been in the Navy for just over a year now. He is stationed in San Diego aboard the USS Boxer LHD-4. I am so very proud of him, however, I miss him so much!

Hi Bridgette,
Prebuds is the training they get before they go to BUDS training in SanDiego for SEALS. DOR is Drop On Request.-
So what is your Dillon doing in the Navy? Is he at bootcamp?or DC training?
I'll try to catch the rest of it next time Spence calls me with it..& I'll pass it along....LOL

Debra, what is prebuds and dor'd mean? I am just learning alot of the terminology. I can't wait til Dillon calls i am going to beat him to it and say, " Revellie, Revellie."

With a Dad in the Navy I have been woken up to "Revellie Revellie All ashore that's going ashore" more times that I can count...LOL

Thanks for the great information~Robin. My son PIR'd 9/26 & has been in Pre-buds. He dor'd on Tuesday because he said he's not ready to commit 100% yet. I'm very proud to say that he thought long & hard about his decision because it has been his dream since he was little & I think with his "guts", he'll go far no matter what he does. He even chose his high school because they had the NJROTC program & he wanted to be a part of the Navy even then. I just got off the phone with him - it's 6am here & he called to say "revellie, revellie" and a bunch of other stuff I didn't quite understand!!He's soo excited to start classes, hopefully next week. In the meantime he's doing maintenance, clean up stuff... soo, again thanks for the welcome & Guam- how cool is that?!

Welcome Debra....glad to have you....I think most of us here are new to the DC world but learning more every day....hopefully we will be able to pass what we learn on to all the new DC moms! Lorna, Nick thought he would go to Norfold or San Diego or maybe Washington....then the Guam shocker.....I was really hoping he would be stateside for his first duty station....I love San Diego as well...my dad was stationed there in the early 80's.....
