DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

My fiance is in class 14-10. I got to talk to him for about 5 minutes last night and he's already lost his voice! They have to yell everything at the top of their lungs! I'm in the Navy also and I'm so used to being the one who leaves! I'm the one who has to tell everyone else not to worry, so its really weird being on the other side of it!

My Gf classed up with 14-10 last night. I'm glad to join you guys. Hope these next couple months fly by for us and our LO's! :)
Congratulations!! C or D?
C
Yeah, I joined and am waiting for approval. Feel free to ask away. :)
Search for "OCS Class 14-10 Families and Friends" and join the group. Then someone will approve it.
FANTASTIC!!!!!
Congrats to Char for classing up!
Oh man, when I had my wisdom teeth out it was horrible - dry sockets cause lots of pain. But...most people do okay with it! I am really suprised they don't wait until after OCS though...
All Navy personnel are required to get them pulled (Enlisted and Officer). This is done in Boot Camp or OCS. From my experience, I would have recommended getting it done before going AD (Active Duty). You get PB&J's to eat and only the day of the surgery do you get out of PT, normal divisional activities. I felt bad for the people who had to get them out in boot camp.
If getting the wisdom teeth out is a requirement- why did we not get this information when my son joined last June?????? He didn't leave for OCS until Feb and our dentist would have done it long before now.
TawnyA - The 4 weeks of indoc for 13-10 was 3 weeks at the beginning of their class. Then, I think it went to two weeks and it changed again! You will find, as you progress through OCS with your LO that change is very much a part of the experience. The Program changes as the Navy's requirements change. That's probably didn't hear about the indoc period changes before the class started. We have learned to roll with the changes. We are happy when they are good changes and deal with it when they are not. That is the role of candidate's LO's.
By any chance, did anyone get a phone call today? If so, was your son/daughter/significant other in D or C? Just wondering.
