Once you've been given a job....
Awesome - thank you so much. I'm encouraged. We may end up leaving things as is, but atleast if I can revisit it, I will. I appreciate you!

I, too, am new to N4M, and appreciate your hard work and diligence in making this a very worthwhile site to be a part of . Good luck in your future endeavors, Elle - and Good luck, as well to Elizabeth and Colleen. I appreciate all three of you!
My son just started boot camp yesterday, Oct. 28. He had to choose a different job than the one he really wants, CTI. He passed the language exam I think is called Dlab, but his recruiter -- or classifier? -- sorry-- said that in order to be assigne…

Which rates is he interested in? I used to be active duty (and my dad, and hubby and ... well lots), so I know about some of the ratings quite well. I could give you a different perspective if you like.
What is an OWI

If he has not signed that contract, then his options are open. He doesn't have to take any job until he signs. The DEP contract is not binding, although he may have trouble getting back into the program if he drops out.
Not a silly question at all.…

You're pretty well stuck. Changing rates can only happen if the Navy needs the change. This happens in boot camp, before the training for the rate begins, or after two years. Now and then, students fail A school and are reassigned or sent to the fle…

- Ask your son if his is az, it is actually Aviation Maintenance Administrators. If it is just put az navy in google and it will tell you all about the job. Look on my page, and you will find a special page for moms. And yes it would be great if they got to know each other and had a friend when they got there. Praying for your son already!
Blessings,
Sam

Welcome aboard!! How are you doing today? This Navy for moms is such a bleesing.
By the time your son leaves, you'll be a pro here! HAHA!!
The last two months, prior to Boot Camp, flew by me. You know when it hit me that this was happening, at my daughters farewell dinner. My older daughter made a poster, "Anchors Away", with Kim's picture on it. I broke in tears when I saw that.
Now I'm on my second missed birthdays and holidays with my daughter Kim. I hear from her all the time though. Today's her birthday, and she's out to sea ! HAHA! SHe'll be gone for 2 weeks.
As for you, your son will be fine and in good hands! Once the recruits get into the rountine of Boot Camp and over being homesick, they like Boot Camp beleive it or not.
It's the moms having nervous breakdowns! HAHA!
Please stay in contact with other Navy moms. I'm always around. Together we'll help you through Boot Camp....we haven't lsot a mom yet! HAHA!
Please don't hestitate to write.
Take care and God bless,
Barbara
