Does anyone know anything about EOD summer training? Not sure what it's all about and my son hasn't shared much. I've heard it's gruelling and I'm not sure he knows what he is in for!
My son missed CORTRAMID because he had a sprained ankle! 2nd Class he did subs and this summer he is doing EOD . . . something I know nothing about. Does anyone know about the EOD training?
My son is a senior at Virginia Tech. He has a 4-year NROTC scholarship which has been such a blessing! My hubby has been laid off twice in the past 3 years (2nd time only 8 days ago), so we couldn't have made it without those funds. Thanks for creat…

- Hi HokieMom-
I saw your comment about EOD and don't really know much about about it except what it stands for :) There are 2 guys in my daughter's unit that are on in this for their summer tours and from my D heard are having a great time. Of course she would comment to me that she thinks it's very cool and that females are allowed in this field (yikes). lol Have a great weekend. :) Paulette

My daughter, Ashley (20), has been in the Navy for 2 years and is an IT3 & my son Tim (19) has been in since Feb 2008 stationed on the USS Nimitz.. What is your son/daughter doing with the Navy? If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm glad you joined and look forward to hearing more about you & your Sailor. Pat

Sponge Dawn aka Sponge Mom said… - Welcome to Navy for Moms. My sailor is currently waiting for final orders to go to Hawaii. He is a sonar tech aboard a submarine. He's been in for a year now and I'm excited that he gets to go to Hawaii! You'll find a wealth of information here on this site. Along with Friendship, Support, Determination, Inspiration and good conversation! Have a Wonderful 4th of July and lets not forget why we celebrate it and how we preserve it! GO NAVY
I've also included a link to the RTC website. Hope you find some useful information on it regarding boot camp. Also, don't forget to search youtube.com for videos on bootcamp by the Navy itself.
