Happy day after everyone, quick question. Do they do a family cruise? My neighbor is ex Navy and he said that they take the family out for the day to show how our Sailors live and work. Thanks for any info. Bill
Yes they have! When I joined in Nov.2008 I was welcomed with open arms. I am also on Navydads but the info there pretty much is non existent. I love this site! A couple of mom's were a little miffed that a Dad joined but the ladies came to my defe...

Hi everyone, been awhile since I've been on. I see a ? about ranking up. They offer the test only twice a year. September and March. And I do believe they are only allowed to take it once a year. They do not automatically rank up after graduation ...

Vee, Michael's Proud Grandmother said… - Bill, thanks for getting back to me. I'm glad you have a copy of the DVD. I think our boys are about together in where they are. I mentioned Michael is awaiting A school, but I meant ATT. Maybe he has heard by now like your son did. He graduated SCC just about the same time as your son, too! We'll wait and see I guess. Have a great day and I'll see you on "Ask the SDC." Vee

Vee, Michael's Proud Grandmother said…
- Hi Bill, I have been watching your comments in Ask the SDC and I think my grandson, Michael, and your son, Brett, are about at the same level right now. Michael's PIR was 01-09-09, also. He is on the USS Porter and awaiting A school, so I will be interested in Will's answer to your question. I'm not sure what you are looking for as far as video, but I have a video of our boys' PIR and would be glad to make you a copy. Michael was in Divn 058. Feel free to email me at: wranglr4v01@yahoo.com if I can help you. Vee

Boone'sMom--(Lori) said… - Bill, I have some video. Not sure how I'd get it to you , but i could try to get some of it on a dvd. You can message me on here. I'll have to review it again to see how much of your son's div that we got. My son was in 059.

Pat said… - I sure know about hurry up and wait...mine has been out of school 10 months and has not been to sea as yet, he calls himself a glorified janitor. Although he keeps his mind busy, old movies, video games, and lots of books (usually 2 or 3 at one time); he would rather be doing what he was trained to do. Continue to encourage and in the Navy's time all things will come to pass.
