Hi Cathy, welcome & congrats to your son on OCS! I am seeing FB groups for the OCS classes 05-23 & 06-23 but nothing for 07-23 as yet. I'm not exactly sure which class your son would be in but my son went around this time back in 2020 & he was in class 07-21. Search "Navy OCS class _ _ - 23" inserting his class # in the spaces & you can see if it pops up. These groups are not official Navy groups & usually headed up by one of the family members. If you aren't sure of your son's class # yet, then message the 06-23 group or ask to join & then ask when the class started. They are usually very nice & helpful. I was even told to join the class right before my son's & did just that so that I could see what was ahead for him by 3 weeks. :)

Welcome Cathy!
Is your son going thru OCS? If he is, there is a page on this site just for OCS that was very helpful to me when my DS was there, and they have FB pages usually with Friends and Family in the name plus his class number.

Hi! I’m a new mom here. How do we find our sons class on Facebook. He just reported so could it be too soon or is this something they do right away?

Andy'sMom - Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I’ve been a Navy Mom since our daughter enlisted in 1990. Our son started NROTC in 1993. We had sort of crossover year in 1994 until our daughter finished her active duty. She was still in the inactive reserves in 1997 when our son graduated and received his commission. She put on her uniform and gave him his first salute at commissioning. She and her family will be with us this summer for Change of Command and his retirement in Naples. It’s been ride, and now here we are…

Helomom,
What a fabulous trip and wonderful memories with your family. After reading that I realize why you have been such a voice of calm advice....so many years being involved in the Navy! Best of luck to your DS, DIL, and grandkids!

Thank you Helomom for sharing the story of your trips and your DS's career. It's wonderful to read about the life of an experienced naval officer when my DS is in the early years!

He hopes to fly the SeaHawk. He's still in A pool waiting for NIFE. So although his preference is the SeaHawk, he'll get whatever they give him ---

Helomom, what an amazing trip!! Im so thankful you were able to create such great memories! We island hopped through Greece about 35 years ago - my dad took us on an amazing trip through Europe when my husband graduated from seminary. But we weren’t on a cruise. I think the cruise sounds amazing. You must be so proud of your son! I am so grateful for all the help and encouragement you have given me as my son is beginning his aviation career. I pray this final year will go smoothly for your son, and that all the pieces will fall into place for his retirement!
M’s Mom, congratulations on your son’s promotion! I hope that his stay in England is a good one.
