Eaglemom2 - as I understand frocking (as a military term) it has to do with a commissioned or non-commissioned officer selected for promotion wearing the insignia of the higher grade before the official date of promotion because the actual number of people allowed to serve in a particular rank is restricted by federal law. All that means is that an individual may have been selected for promotion, but can't actually be promoted until someone above them is promoted and there is a vacancy at the new rank.
Pinning is the ceremony where the new rank insignia is pinned to their uniforms.
If I'm wrong about any of that, someone with more knowledge please correct me. :)

Has anyone heard of the ceremony called "froc and pin"? Is this where they receive their "wings"?

I love the chart idea, are you going to do it?

Hey Proudmama how are you. We got to see our son this weekend at a wedding for his best friend. They gave him leave for the weekend. He is in the 2nd week of A school.

A's Mom, just tell him to stay focused, work hard and keep his mind on his goal. If he does, he will do fine.

Hi All! It's been a while since I have been on here. After about a 3 week hold after NACCS my son started RSS just yesterday. Any detailed information and encouragement about this stage would be welcomed and appreciated ;)!!

Ridge girl if you are in Pensacola for the 4th be sure to head down to the city park and watch the fireworks over the bay. It's quite a show. My son graduated last 4 of July and they moved the date several times because of the holiday - so you might just get to see graduation after all.
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the summer weather.

Hello again. Week 4 started today for my RSS candidate son :-) He is moving right along. We will be going down for the 4th weekend since they have thursday and Friday off. We will spend the whole weekend. Thought we'd get to see graduation but they moved it to the 11th due to the holiday. Is anyone going for the graduation? I just want one picture :-) Let me know and thanks to all for helping me stay connected.

Our son started FRS about 3 weeks ago. He is loving being down in San Diego and back in CA. San Diego is a few hours from us, but we are able to see each other more often, which his dad, sisters, grandmother and I love.

Bayswan- I will ask my son to stop by and see if your son's name is on the plaque- if it is, I will take a pic when I go down for A school graduation which- if I understand it correctly is scheduled for the first week in August. I'm so glad he is enjoying San Diego... That is where my son wants to go...! Isn't is just the best when your son enjoys who he is working with and what he is doing? I find no higher feeling of satisfaction in life honestly,....
Tiffany/ Heartstrings... OH YES! Go and watch the jumps, take the day off for certain! I can't imagine a better day! If I could, I would do that in a heartbeat!
OK... I'll go to work on that pipeline chart! Am looking forward to seeing where everybody is in their training...and subsequent career~
Jodi- I wonder if your son and Bayswan's son are in the same unit? (Is that what it is called?). So glad someone was able to take pics of your son receiving his wings! I am sure one of those pics will be framed and hung somewhere in your home!
Hope you all have a great weekend:)
