M's mom- His wife says he has lost weight but doing okay. Their area is alternating between Red (totally locked down) and Orange (mostly locked down). No travel between regions unless work required. He is working the fine line between keeping the bases operational and upsetting the Italian government. No one is happy. The Italian government is continually complaining that they are violating Italian law, for instance our DoD schools are open. It is what it is. Everyday balance the needs of the Navy, the wishes of the Italian government, the Italians who work on the bases, the American government, the American contractors, the American military personnel, the American civilians, the foreign military tenants...the Italian unions...the list goes on and on. Fun times.

Helomom:
How is your son doing with his command in Italy? Hopefully, the virus situation is lessening there and things are opening up. I hope you will be able to visit soon! Historic Italy is on my bucket list---Pompeii, the Colosseum, the old Roman forum, etc.

NavyplusArmy,
This is my recent experience with timing:
My son applied for the May 25th (2020) NFO board. He was notified that his packet was approved approximately one month later. I do know there was a lot of “talk” on that May 25 Board AirWarriors page as people received their acceptances.
My son was later given an OCS date for November 2020, but was put on the “available to move up list”. Be very careful what you wish for, as he suddenly got a call one afternoon (2 months early) and a mere 19 HOURS later was at the airport bright & early for his flight to Rhode Island. He graduated from OCS in Class 04-21 in December.
My son reported to Pensacola NAS the first week of January 2021 and currently, he is waiting to class up for NFO training.

Ana, I know you are super proud of your accomplished daughter!
My son, OCS 04-21, is in Pensacola now, waiting to class up for NFO training.

Anna, great article about your daughter! You are justifiably proud of her career. Isn’t it interesting how our children's careers seem to have found them. My son has said that sometimes he thinks the Navy knows him better than he knows himself.

Anna,
Thanks for posting the story about your daughter. Your pride in her is justified! What an amazing career so far. I'm sure she will continue to excel in her new assignment. It seems so long ago now, (almost 9 years!) that your daughter graduated from OCS in the next class after my son.
My son is still at Ft Meade, MD with the US Military Cyber Security Command, but is starting to get feelers from his detailer about his next duty assignment. He hopes to stay in for a 20-year career. He and your daughter are almost half-way there now!

Glenni,
She is in the aviation community and did hope to get a pilot spot when she went to OCS. Unfortunately she didn't get that but has been happy with her career path. Her time in Tinker was interesting but once again, being a woman in a male dominated field proved to be very challenging for her during that assignment. But she is really looking forward to this next chapter of her career and much of it is because of her experiences. Good luck to your son, I hope he gets his lat transfer. Sounds like it will lead to a good career choice for him!!!
