<p class="Normal tm6">Welcome!!

It is titled Navy Speak and you can find it <u><a href="https://navyformoms.ning.com/custom/media/pdf/NavySpeak.pdf">here</a></u>. We are here to get you through the “Great Silence” of the next 4 weeks (ish) and the 10 weeks of BC (ish). You will come to learn that No News Is GOOD News and everything is Needs of the Navy. You life will be Hurry Up and Wait and it’s ok to make plans but they are subject to change until after they have happened so it’s best to embrace the Motto: Semper Gumby!! (Always Flexible!!)</p>
<p class="Normal tm6">The Expected timeline will look like this<br/>Day 0 -- Travel, Arrival and "I'm Here" scripted phone call<br/>Day 1-14 -- ROM (Restriction of Movement/ Quarantine-- Lots of studying and waiting)<br/>Day 15-21 Arrive Onboard RTC and begin P-days (P-days- Initial Processing Days) including 2 days of P-hold (Weekend)<br/>Day 21-- Complete P days. (Initial PFT & Run)<br/>Day 22-- Begin training and mail form letter out. Look for it to arrive around 1-2 weeks later)<br/>All of this is assuming no exposure to COVID with additional ROM<br/>Training typically occurs Monday - Friday but we have heard rumors that Saturday’s are now training days as well.<br/>Normal PIR will be 10 Fridays after departure from Home but it can be less by 1 but it can be extended by ???? (lots!!) It just depends on how many times they get caught in the “Ring of Fire” but do not get COVID. IF they get COVID, Once they are recovered they will not be removed from training again even if they are in the “Ring of Fire”. (so there is that small silver lining if kids get sick)<br/>I Hope you’ll come and join us on the Main Boot Camp Moms page: <u><a href="https://navyformoms.ning.com/group/bootcampmoms">https://navyformoms.ning.com/group/bootcampmoms</a></u> You may have to scroll down a ways to reach the comments but we’d love to get to know you and answer any questions or concerns you may have or just be a support from others who “get it”.</p>

<p class="Normal tm6">Because you have a son or daughter that is getting ready to leave for boot camp soon please sit down with them and have a real good talk about what to expect. <br/><br/>Since Covid has hit things have been all over the place - they get put in quarantine, they get out of quarantine, they get put back in quarantine. A normal 8 week boot camp can drag on much longer and it can take a huge mental toll on them. It's important that they understand THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY! They need to be physically strong but more importantly they need to be MENTALLY STRONG! <br/><br/>Let them know that they probably won't even get a letter from home until they are at least HALF WAY through boot camp. NO you haven't forgotten about them - it just takes that long for them to train someone in the mail room so they can get their mail. The first couple of weeks they may question their decision to join - and that's normal! But they need to be strong. This is just the beginning of their Navy career and they need to learn to be FLEXIBLE. <br/><br/>Remind them they are STRONG and THEY CAN DO THIS. Before they leave ask them HOW BAD DO YOU WANT THIS?</p> Jana -- Welcome!!

I am so sorry she had to go through that! I’m brand new on this site and anxious to reach out to other moms of female recruits. My daughter just joined DEP and has a ship out date in August. She would be heartbroken if she got discharged.

<p>Jana, good for her. I am so happy that what happened before didn't deter her from her dreams.It took my son 8 years to finally get in and now he is in the nuclear program. Keep encouraging her reminding her if how she fought for this. There is a reason for the delay and probably will be a blessing after all. Good luck to her and I hope you are dealing alright with everything. Glad your here with us.</p>
