DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Laurence was born to be in the dirt and mud. I don't think I have one picture of him when he was clean! lol He went on and on about how much fun he had. He even posted on facebook about what fun he had and that he gets paid to play in the mud!
Wade, I like your new profile picture!

Donna, Laurence called me to tell me the same thing. The had a test and then out into the field. The hard part will be having to wait until Friday to know how he did on his test! It was test four and was about nuclear warfare and test five will be next Monday. Laurence said that he had fun last week and is looking forward to this week.

Laurence is heading for New Orleans! It was not his first choice, but it will be close to home (Dallas) I have been reading about it, and from what I can see, it is a joint reserve base. Other than that, I will just have to wait and see. He is to report there on June 23. That won't give him but maybe a day or two if that after FMTB!
-

I understand. When Laurence told me, I told him I would have to post so other moms and dads won't worry. He understood. After close to 18 months that I've been here, they have excepted that I am here sharing and learning.
I also love the close bond we have built. I couldn't make it without everyone here!

I want to give everyone a heads up. Laurence called last night to let me know that they are going to the field today and will spend three days there. He wanted to let me know so I won't worry. He won't be available until Friday.
He also said that he passed test three and test four is this Monday.

Dawn, Your son is in for an adventure of a life time! Once FMTB starts, he will have little free time, but will be too busy and the time will go by fast!

It sounds like we are all hearing the same thing. It felt so good to hear Laurence's voice! I now know that I can't talk every day for now. I guess weekends will have to do.
Thanks for the heads up about food. I will tell him he has to share.

I finally talked to Laurence!!!! He said that they have been busy. It sounded so good to hear his voice. I just have to remember that he is busy. It is almost like BC all over again!!! He said that they are still spending a lot of time in the class, but this week, they get to do the gas chamber! He loived that in BC!
Thanks for the address info, mom4sons! I asked Laurence to email me his full mailing address, but I think I have everything from here.
Thanks everyone!

Hi Jacqueline, they'll have 5 written Block Tests and they have to score 80% or better to pass. They also have to pass the PFA (Physical Fitness Assessment) near the start. And, they'll have hikes of 4, 6, 7, & 8 miles that they'll have to successfully complete.
