Navymom... thank you!
FOR Rescue Swimmers ----PT like crazy, run on the beach like crazy, swim sprints like crazy.... buy the thick heavy fins that are like the Navy issue ones to practice in. Learn to clear out their face masks at various depts of water... ( alot fail that test ) That will help them physically... NACCS was fun most of the guys say.. not hard to pass... RSS is the tough one. Tell them to gear up mentally for a lot of ridiculous physical abuse. Its mental and total determination. They have to see the light at the end of the tunnel... Nothing up front counts. The long holds can cause them to stop focusing on that light because it seems so far away.
caran and Bonnie.... those boys need to do a lot of running in full gear and boots and get use to that. blisters and all.... that is a HUGE obsticle for the SWCCs and a lot get blisters so badly that they cant go on... Full gear running and PT getting use to the rubbing and chaffing.. and as always the mental dog down yelling!!!

Bonnie, thanks for sharing that info about 802. Did you get that from your son? Glad you're in touch to keep the rest of us informed. I'm sure it will all work out the way its supposed to. Hope they all keep their spirits up whether they make it the first or second time. :) They have a big job in front of them. I've attached some info I found about the PT's they face.PHYSICAL%20EVOLUTION.doc

scuttlebutt... just simply have her change her cell number and block him from Face Book or what ever. Remember she is almost an adult now and will have to handle this on her own. A change of cell number will do the trick!

dose any one know if or how much the Navy would help my daughter. she broke up with her boyfriend because he was cheating on her and doing drugs. he has been calling her and her friends (mostly the men) will answer her phone and not let him talk to her. witch makes him mad. if he doesn't stop, will they help get him to stop, or are we on our own?

I do know she is taking extra classes and volunteering for more duties so she can have more freedom. she seems to be using her time to do as much as she can. she is making a lot of new friends that is good for her know. They are watching out for her with her new breakup. they seem to be very protective of her and not letting him talk to her. I'm so thankful for them and watching out for her.

Hi Navy moms!! I would love facebook adds, look for me under Amparo Cardenas: )
Hope everyone is doing great!!

zacksmom.... they can do volunteer work. He can ask his CO... they can actually earn a ribbon for that too. Remind him to keep that buff Navy look and keep on with his PT. Also he can use this time to Phase up so he will have more freedom while in school.
