My son had gradation day and the weekend with us. He had to be back at night, every night. We were just so happy to see him, we didn't care!
Good luck!⚓️⚓️⚓️

Hi everyone!
My fiancé just got to bc on Monday. He is EOD and will be going to the dive prep stage right after bc. I'm trying to figure out if he will have liberty after PIR or if he is one of the sailors who has to move over to the Great Lakes base right away? Do they get any liberty that weekend, Saturday & Sunday, or is it just a little bit of time on Friday? Any info helps!
Thanks!

When my son was in EOD training I found a lot of information about it on the Internet, most from the Navy. My son wasn't that forthcoming! The Eglin training was tough but he made it through. Many did not.

Thanks Addy62 & NJNavyMom.  My son has until the end of Sept yet to finish in Panama City.  So he's got a while yet.  Praying he makes it through this tough training.  So far so good and he loves it.  What is the next step after dive school?  I try not to ask too far ahead with him and just let him stay focused on the present task.

Appreciate any info.

Thanks Audry! Jlb228, my son, as well as many others, also had ear issues. It's not uncommon.
My son hasn't been deployed yet, but Audry said it all perfectly.

it has been awhile since i have been here, which means everything is going great with my EOD son.  He had some ear issues in panama city which made him drop back a class.  so for who ever was asking it does happen.  for those of you new here, it only gets tougher.  dive school is TOUGH.  Elgin is a long process.  once at eglin, you can only fail a test twice i think.  it is a tough job with requirements.  My son loves it so far.  he is stationed in Rota, Spain.  he has been deployed in Africa and had training in Germany, and different places in Spain.  He is young and enjoying the adventure.  I hope everyone if fine and if you have other questions, email me at audiedale@aol.com.  audrey

My son is in Panama City at dive school.  He got first an ear squeeze and then a slight tear in the drum (well that's not what he called it but I don't remember the technical name.  He couldn't dive for few days.  Has anyone had someone that had this and is it common.  Does it reoccur?  Can this affect his training or EOD position?

Hello everyone. I haven't commented on here in a very long time, so wanted to say hi. My son just started underwater last Friday. Does anyone else have someone in that group?
