Oh okay. I think the best thing would be for him to do would be to ask someone during dive prep what your options are. Maybe check with the travel office? They'll have the most up to date information on everything. If you have any other questions feel free to message me :)

When you say the first part of training do you mean boot camp or dive prep? I doubt they would move you earlier because there's no guarantee of him passing dive prep. The drop rate during that time is huge and they give orders to panama city for dive school first and then they have to make it through dive school before they'll get orders for Eglin about 3 months later. But they don't give them orders to panama city until they've graduated dive prep. My boyfriend and i are not married though so I haven't dealt with the moving situation so you should have your husband follow up with someone but you might want to look at other options. Can your job help with relocation or something?

QMGsmom- you posted that they have to rebuild their strength, my sons recruit told him that they are with other EOD during bc so they workout harder than the others.......so that is not a true statement. My son waited a year to go to bc and worked out like a monster, ate very carefully and I pumped his full of vitamins so that was in vain? I know it won't take as long to get back in shape but his recruiter told him not to worry...hummm I think I need to visit that recruit....

thanks for any info you might have...mine PIR is May 4 so i figure since your son just got out the info will be pretty actuate.

EOD mom,,,, dont post theit last name, or even only use their first initial. I changed my picture as proud as I wanted to display it and change my real home town. Mine has graduated and is on the journey, just keep things discreet especially while he is in BC. Message privately if you have special or unique questions. Good luck to your son,,,

Thank you Colleen. Graduation is over, but the ride isnt. EOD prep starts in a week. All the guys lost a lot of what they spent months building. They have a week to get back into the groove. Hes more worried about prep than anything. The group has guys with specific strengths, so are planning on helping each other to get back on program. This is what my son thrives on.. Waiting another month before I can exhale, just a little, lol
