I have a son who just started OCS, 8/7, and am of course anxious about him. Does anyone know the exact date of the commissioning ceremony?

Thanks. Anne

My son graduated OCS Class 05-11 and I wanted to share the graduation box that we purchased for him.  The box was absolutely beautiful with the laser engraving encircling the navy medallion.  We could not have been more pleased.  The photo on the website doesn't do the finished product justice.

I just delete them.  Someone must have hacked her account.  I know it's been reported to N4M so it will probably end soon.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am getting a whole lot of viral type spam from someone named Bettie C. Jones. Unfortunately, I can't figure out a way to stop them, so I have had to redo my settings to not get any email notifications from N4Ms. Is anyone else having this problem? What did you do about it?

Finishing school!  Exactly, Violet.  They are truly amazing.

Congrats to Zak for graduating from OCS! I totally understand how wonderful the whole thing is. I thought it was almost like finishing school for adult children. We too are very happy with our new ensign.

We just attended the 11-11 graduation in Newport.  It was awesome.  We arrived Wed pm and Zak took a cab to our hotel.  We all went to dinner at the Red Parrot with a friend who lives in Providence.  Zak presented us with Challenge Coins and class t-shirts, sweat shirts, etc.  We did not get to see him again until PIR on Thursday afternoon.  After PIR, he dressed in his whites and went back to the hotel with us until time for 'Hi Moms'.  Hi Moms was a really nice event held at the Officers Club.  We enjoyed meeting  a lot of his classmates and their families.  After Hi Moms, he chose to stay on base and go out with some of his buddies for one last time.  Friday morning we got up at 3:45am to go to the early morning run.  His father ran along with him.  They had a beatdown in the Rose Garden, then we went in to see them eat breakfast with the 'war spoon'.  Graduation in the gym was nice.  After graduation, we walked to the field behind their dorm for his 'first salute' where he presented his DI with the silver dollar.  Then it was time to pack up to come home.  Took him almost

2 hours to pack because he kept stopping to talk to friends.  It was such a joy to see the young man he has become.  How confident he is.  How proud he is of what he is doing.  When your LO graduates, go if you can, you won't regret it.
