If he receives money in his account, he'll get it either way (if he opens the e-mail or not).  There is no harm by ignoring/deleting it.  If it's spam, the senders don't have a live e-mail address that was opened or compromised information in the link.

My DS uses USAA. I sent him your warning about a possible spam email. We haven't received any unusual emails. He commented that  you can transfer funds from person to person with usaa via their app. So his guess is he went out with his buddies and they didn't split the check or something so he paid using usaa funds transfer.

JSEfamily, thanks. That's what I thought.

That would be Navy Federal*

Barb, it's spam. I received one in my email. I don't have a USAA account, nor does my DS. He uses Navy Gederal Credit Union. I ignored it. Hope this helps.

Good Sunday morning all! A question...did anyone receive an email yesterday from USAA about incoming transfer of funds? I think this is Spam so I don't want to ask DS about it, especially while he's on detachment. CheriH, I'm with you, the uniform makes me tear up every time!

tiff794613-

Pensacola will vary depending on the backup of people who are going through Primary. My DS was there for 7 months, but had to sit around between stages because of lack of equipment. As you noted, they are getting priority now! He then had another 8 or 9 months (can't remember exactly) in Norfolk because of NFO training on the Hawkeye. Hawkeye tends to be longer because of all the communications and electronics.

The NFO community is a lot smaller - there were only 6 in his winging class! We have a separate Group here and you would be most welcome.

After that he got his pick and chose Japan for 3 yrs. He's now a strategy designer and instructor at what most people would call the Top Gun school. DS got moved up a year on the promotions list, so we won't find about what happens and where he'll be going next until Spring 2018.

You'll find that the best you can do is for your LO is just to be there for support; I've learned that the Navy is not on any predictable timeline!

Hey Gina! Yes Joel and Chandler are good friends! I see him often! They are studying a lot these weeks and don't have much time for fun! 

Thanks Cheri! Hopefully someone may be able to help! I know a lot of the pilots for my husband's class are going through a lot slower, the demand for NFO'S are high right now, so they are being pushed through quicker. So maybe someone who recently had an NFO go through may be able to help!

Thanks again!

Congrats JudyM on your son heading to TPS.  Very cool.  

Suzie...very funny about your son and the whites.  I always think about the line from A Few Good Men..."nobody likes the whites!" But they sure do look good.  Especially when they are manning the rails!

Welcome to Tiffany...and sorry I can't answer your question about NFO timelines.  I'm sure there is someone on here who can.  API is probably the same as the pilots.  If I remember, it was about 3 months, but it took my DS 3 months to class up.  But I think NFO's stay in Pensacola for the entire time of training, don't they?

My son is also currently at API and I would like to know the same. Is your husband Joel?
