PA Mom. You certainly should be very proud of him. Top Hook is an amazing honor.

PA Navy Mom: You are rightly justified in bragging about your Top Hook son! Of course you should be very proud. Congrats to you and your aviator!

Don't want to brag but where else but here to do it. My Navy Aviator just finished qualifying on the HS Truman and received "Top Hook" . We are so happy he just made it and the icing on the cake to boot !

Tricia M,
Embry Riddle was my son's second choice. We visited the campus and were very impressed!

Glenni,
I will agree my son is an outstanding aviator (I get a quick reminder when I just say he is a pilot, he is a Navy Aviator!). There are others also so good luck to your son.I have flown with my son before he went in so do know he is an born aviator. He is an Embry Riddle grad so started flying there.

TriciaM, you mentioned that 13 years later your son is still flying. That is awesome. My son has said that they have been told most pilots only get 1 actual flying tour of duty unless they are really outstanding! That was a little discouraging to him, and he has considered the Nuke route (they're also pressuring him towards the Nuke program), but at this point he really still wants to fly. So it is encouraging to read that about your son!

BoomMom - You might also want to ask on the "OSC Graduate Moms" group. You will find "To be", current and past OCS family members in both groups. Best of luck to you and your son/daughter!

Congrats BoomMom on having a LO heading to OCS. Time has flown bye since my LO was there now over 2yrs ago. If you have not joined the OCS page here is can be another great place for info. If you are facebook join the officer training command newport. They will post pictures of the classes. It was so fun searching pictures trying to spot a glimpse of your LO. There should also be a fb page for your LO's class it will look something like Navy OCS class xx-18 friends and family.

Hi rouse54.
the hurry up and wait never stops. My DS got caught in the after effects of 9/11 with all the reserves coming back in and using all the training time for them. After two uncertain years of waiting, the do I get a full time job etc,My DS finally got to OCS in Pensacola. Now 13 years later he still files Jet Jockey carrier style and is also doing a stint at the same time in the big place on D.C. got in 3 Masters Degrees to so the wait is worth it.
