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."

Well, Laurence moves today. INDOC today and tomorrow and FMTB starts on Monday. I hope they are all ready!

Laurence also called. He said it was a weird feeling. He said he left the snow storms in GL to go to the earth quakes in California and will go to New Orleans just in time for hurricane season! He said he wished to be back in Texas where the weather is always the same.

Thanks Ruth. I'm still pondering. I have already taken so many days this year. (Two PIRs) That's one reason I was planning for June; It is after the school year ends, and before summer school starts.

I am still going to Laurence's graduation, but I found out today that his brother sets sail in May. I was so excited about taking one trip and being able to see both my sailors. I am just so bummed out. When Richard told me, I cried. I guess this is life in the Navy. I can still have my time with one.

I am glad to know that Laurence is getting ready for FMTB.(April 19) He went to TCCC class last week. He said that he was trained for rescues under fire. He said that the drag was the hardest. He needs to build his leg muscles.
I am starting to look at days to go to CP for his graduation. He said that he graduates on June. 18 and has to report to New Orleans on June 23. I was wanting to know if I drive, can he drive back with me as far as Dallas and then fly to New Orleans? Or does he have to fly straight to New Orleans?

I was talking to my son and asked about 29 Palms. He said that since it is a base, some corpsmen will have that as their duty station.

mom4sons, if he gets his wisdom teeth out this week, I don't think it will. Laurence had his out while in CP. He was SIQ for less than a week. So, if FMTB starts on April 19, he should be good to go by then, but then again, we are talking about the Navy. lol

mom4sons, Laurence had his wisdom teeth out the first week he got to CP. I asked why he didn't get them out during BC, and he didn't know. It was day surgery, but was SIQ for two or three days. I am glad that he had it done before training starts. He would not want to miss a day for fear of being set back.

My corpsman will be attending this FMTB class starting April 19th as well. Here's the link that discusses what they need (a few items like a whistle, glow belt and flashlight with red lense). They will be issued marine uniforms. http://www.tecom.usmc.mil/fmtbwest/FMSTCourse.htm
Their class will be graduating in mid June, I think sometime the week of the 15th.
