It's a great idea, and I'm sure as the time gets closer and closer you will have a lot of participants! If you have a LO who will be in 05-11, and if they have a facebook group among themselves as they get ready, you could ask him to post the link to the group for LO's and ask the class members to let their LO's know about it. Otherwise sometimes the class members don't know, and the LO's don't find out about the group.

It has been hard- I moved out of my apartment in July thinking we would be in flight school by August 1st. (He was supposed to grad. July 30th). I moved in with his parents and I am still there. :) It has been good. I have been up there a few times to see him- we are handling it although it would be nice for him to be done with all of this. He is holding out- ready to class back up and continue. Ugh! It was been hard but we knew this when he joined so...I suppose we have been taking it one day at at time. It gets easier the longer someone is gone but he has his cell phone this entire time in medical holding and gets liberty so it has been doable. I think I am ok for when he classes back up...he joined class 18-10, 19-10, 20-10 and than went into medical holding for surgery in August. So...does that answer your question? How are you related to your LO?

We are definitely holding on to this. I am a mental health therapist and we were talking the other day that no matter who we come into contact with, we have experienced it. We are growing and will use this to help others. :)

My boyfriend is in the 05-11 class. I can't find the family and friends group on Facebook. Can you post a link in this discussion? Or maybe I'm not looking for the right thing. I'm very new at all of this.

Hi everyone,
My son is in OCS Class 04-11. We have a facebook page as well as Navy4mom. Please feel free to join our groups as well as those of class 03-11 and 02-11. We can exchange a lot of information to each other from class to class. One piece of info we have not been able to get clear info for is the exact stand down dates for the Christmas break. Do any of you or your LOs know exactly when they can leave and when they need to be back? Here are our groups...
FB--Friends/Family of 03 OCT 2010 Navy OCS Class 04-11
N4M--Loved Ones of OCS class 04-11
Looking forward to sharing info and experiences with you. -
