to MaineGrammy. Welcome to the group and thank you to your sons for all serving. and congrats to rousse54 and your son.
Hello. New to this group, but not Navy for Moms. All of our boys are military. 1st one an AF enlisted reservist / full time guard. 2nd is AF enlisted reservist, going to Officer training soon. 3rd is active Navy officer at school in CT.
Topdog1p,
Congratulations on your sons’s Acceptance as an aviator!
Welcome rousse54 and congrats to your son,
As topdog1p wrote, join the group "OCS Graduate Moms" here on Navy for Moms. That is specific to OCS. In this group, some of the Moms' officers were commissioned through ROTC, and some went to the Naval Academy.
Once he gets to OCS or even before, read back as far as you can on the OCS Graduate Moms group postings and discussion forums. We have probably answered many of your questions already, since we have had some recent new members with LO's (Loved Ones) currently at OCS.
topdog1p: thanks for your suggestions. I will definitely join those groups when the time comes! Looking forward to getting to know you and the other moms on this site!
Congrat rousse54. I am sure he was excited to receive that text. As time gets closer OCS graduate mom is another good page to join. If you are on fb look at officer training command newport they will post pictures there of the classes. You can spend a while searching out for your LO there. There will usually have a family and friends of class# page too.
My son just got a text today from his recruiter that he has been accepted for a Naval Aviator slot. He is very excited, I am excited for him but also nervous, understandably. No official OCS date yet but they are shooting for July 1... I am sure I will be on this site more once he gets an official date...
Thank you !!
Congrats PA Navy Mom! Brag all you want! We "get it" here :)
