DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Well, the selection board has met, so in the next couple of weeks we'll know if our son gets to go to Pensacola!!!

I’m not sure what’s going to happen. He’s there, but apparently the base is only open right now for mission critical reasons bc of Ida. We’ll see what happens.

Glenni, I hope your son's flight physical goes well. My son had to wait an extra week after OCS while they reviewed the medical notes from shoulder surgery he had in the 10th grade. He is a P8 pilot and loves it.

I just love reading about the amazing careers your aviators are having. My son has his flight physical on Monday in Pensacola, then we await the big decision in October. We're very hopeful that he will get chosen for flight training. But he wouldn't be too disappointed if he gets NFO. He loved his time in Jacksonville this summer with a P-8 squadron.
I'm amazed at how many details from his childhood health history they want for this physical on Monday. They leave no stone unturned!

Helomom - My son moved nine times in 14 years. I suppose he will have a few more before his Navy career is over.

Chris - That's wild our son has moved quite a bit. There was a point where they were moving every year. He was commissioned out of NROTC as a Navy Nurse. Then pressed for the opportunity to go to flight school and lateraled from the Nurse Corp to become an Unrestricted Line Officer. From delivering babies to flying helos. He has been stationed all over, plus 3 sea tours and an IA in Afghanistan. Now they are all living over seas. He has two more years on these orders. Then who knows, he’s at 24 years now.

My son has been on the East Coast his entire career. It started in Great Lakes...

The overlaps in the last ten posts have prompted me to post. My wife and her five siblings were born and raised in State College. Her dad was on faculty and all six kids attended Penn State for undergraduate school. My son was a Wildcat. He participated in a missing man flyover at Arlington National Cemetery for the funeral of ADM Kinnear in 2016. He did another flyover at a Titans game in Nashville. Before entering the aviation pipeline my son was an enlisted Nuke! It's been a wild ride! Fifteen years and counting active duty service.

Yes, Suzie - they definitely know one another! I remember your DS did a flyover a few years ago, right? Was it at a Penn State football game? Our DS is Training Officer for Blacklions now.
And congrats on official wedding - our DS' wedding was a year after JP marriage. I'm sure your beloved husband will be there in spirit!
