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."

She was dropped the Tuesday before her graduation. She will be reporting into A school in Great Lakes to be an ET. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on because I'm getting out of the Marine Corps here pretty soon and trying to figure what I'll do in the short term unt she checks into a school and I can go live with her.

I have a quick question, and Im sure its been asked, and answered, but Im having a hard time finding the answer. My wife was supposed to graduate yesterday but is being held due to PFA failure. She told me she is rerunning the PFA Monday. Now what Im getting conflicted stories on, is that if she passes Monday, and does battlestations this week, will she or will she not be in a graduation ceremony?

IM SO EXCITED!!! :D So Amanda says we are going to Charleston not next week but the week of the17th?
Comment by vanessa6543 on April 4, 2010 at 2:46am
I know he ran on a Friday - but that was the week he was supposed to graduate so I'm not sure if it was just that week because of the circumstances... But I know for sure he has been running on Mon and Wed since then but just assumed he was on Fri as well.
Comment by vanessa6543 on April 3, 2010 at 2:37pm
I was under the impression that they run Mon, Wed, and Fri. At least that's what I gathered from talking to Ethan. I feel the exact same way, like we are in limbo just waiting and wondering. He did seem to be in better spirits in the last letter that I got from him though. I still write everyday, and even though I didn't think it would make much of a difference for me but it really does. My reassuring him at the end of every letter helps reassure myself in someway.
