Dawn,

Thanks for the info!!  If they turn their electronics in for holding, all they allowed to have access to them later on?

I am a member of the 17-12 friends and family page on facebook and the Officer Training Command Newport page.  My daughter has been reading anything and everything she can get her hands on.  She was supposed to report July 29 but the Navy decided she should report 3 weeks early!!!!

My son is in 14-12 and are the canidate officers for your daughters class reporting Sunday. She can check her electronics in and they keep them for them. There is a face book page for your daughters class that we started and many of the class and families and LO are on it. We also have informative documents on it. Join that as well as 14-12, 15-12, 16-12 so you can read how things progrss at OCS

Hello!!  It is officially time for me to join this group.  My daughter, Jenn will be reporting to OCS on Sunday, class 17-12.  I've known she would be going to Newport for 2 years after she finished her college degree and now that time is here.

I do have a question - - my daughter will be driving to Newport and of course using her car to hold some stuff while she's there.  She is concerned that summer heat will ruin the stuff in her car - especially electronics like her laptop.  Any of the more senior moms still on here that can tell us whether this has been a concern in the past?  I appreciate any and all info you can share with me.

My son starts week 9 at OCS. We sent our candio boxes and think they will get them Tuesday. His class won all five streamers! Looking so forward to graduation and being able to see him again.

That call feels great doesn't it!

Just got our 30-second call from our son at OCS.  He says things are going about as he expected, no better or worse. He acknowledged that may change, because tomorrow is "Wake Up Wednesday" and they meet their drill instructor!  Now the real "fun" begins!    LOL!

My son started OCS with class 16-12 this morning, (June 17.)   For any Moms of class 16-12, as others have posted below, there is a Facebook group set up called "US Navy OCS Class 16-12 Family and Friends."  Join us!  As Dawn has pointed out, there are also FB pages for classes 14-12 and 15-12, which will help us know what is coming up. 

 To Moms of all OCS classes, the Navy has an official Facebook page called "Officer Training Command Newport," on which each Class Officer posts a weekly report about what their class is doing, what their scores as a group are, etc.   They also post PHOTOS of the current classes in training!   I'm going to eagerly look for my son in any photos of class 16-12!   They just posted photos of class 12-12 which graduated on June 15.  They look so sharp in their dress whites!  Can't wait until my son get gets there!

If you join the 14-12 and 15-12 also it helps to read and see how things progress. My son is in 14-12 and it was great to have the 11-12 class on our site updating us and helping us through. A few of us are on the 16-12 and 17-12 and we will jump in and answer questions people may have.

Thanks beezy, for the info.  My husband has already joined the 16-12 class FB group. Hopefully, we can all support each other through this, as our LO's will be helping each other get through it as well.      Anchors Aweigh!
