What a great idea to meet in person. I live in the Boston area about 20 miles south if anyone out there wants to try to get together. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We heard from our son on Wednesday evening & that made my day on Thursday that much better. His ship is 9 hours ahead of us & he had allready had his Thanksgiving dinner.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. This is the first Thanksgiving I will not be with my daughter but I am proud to be the mother of a Navy officer. Hope all of you and your loved ones are well.

Mike will have a list of things to take, but one thing not on the list is a phone card. It will be some time before he's allowed to carry his cell phone, but the phone card can be used at the pay phones.

Our son met some of his classmates online before OCS, and those arriving in Newport the night before went out to dinner together. Here's the URL:

Some of the family members living nearby were able to take pictures during their visits, and we got to see our son in some of them. It was also a place to find out how the class was progressing.

Martisu,
Welcome to N4M and Moms of Officers. You will find lots of information, and when you need it, a shoulder to lean on.
I invite you to check out the OCS Graduates group. It is also for those currently at OCS, also. There are usually discussions for each of the classes, and a wealth of information. As here, the women (and a few men) are supportive and caring.
My daughter is currently at OCS, and with any luck will become a Candi-o the week Mike starts. It sounds like Mike is more than ready for the physical challenges of OCS. Good luck to him.
Have him check out Facebook to see if someone has started a group for the class, also.
Happy Thanksgiving!

My Mike is 25 and has worked since he was a little kid whenever he was not in school, starting in 7th grade. He has an amazing work ethic. He has worked for the last 6 years, since his sophomore year in college, for the firm he has just resigned from. They love him and hired him straight out of college, but he is really ready for a new challenge. His CEO wrote a recommendation for him for OCS. He has been working on his pilot's license and running marathons for the last year. He hiked up Mt. Whitney last summer and summitted Half Dome at Yosemite. OCS is a great move for him because he is really driven, but I feel sort of delinquent for not having personally spoken to his recruiter during this recruitment process. He says I can call her, but he has his answers and is ready to go, plus it is too late since his finsel is on the way. Any suggestions for what I need to send off with him to OCS (he reports Jan. 3) will be gratefully received. I am tempted to fly to Newport with him to assist, but am afraid that will be really lame. Suggestions?? Happy Thanksgiving!
