freckles 12-18, Hi and welcome! I was wondering if your LO checked into the Navy Lodge which is located on base or even the Mainstay which is basically 3 min from the base.

Also welcome Jen27, so glad your LO is doing great, and yes  he is very busy..Best of Luck to everyone and their LO's during this tough week of RLP... My LO graduated 12-15 Class. He started with the 11-15 class but Rolled into the H-Class for failing RLP by one point. RLP was a blessing believe it or not.  He was able to rest, practice and he became a great leader in H-Class helping others and working with others to prepare them for RLP. Some LO's rolled before the RLP due to injury or other reasons and did not make it to the RLP phase, so my LO worked with the OC's and showed them what to expect at RLP. Our LO's end up in H-Class for different reasons, so while there they help each other in the areas they know so when they leave H-Class they OWN OCS!! LOL 

M's Mom and GalleyMom, I've missed y'all!! I've been gone for a week and I see the two of you are on top of it. Like M's mom I'm here for a long time... Once a Navy mom always a Navy Mom!! LOL  I find myself reading post often to see  if I can help in any way...M's Mom has been there for me, and now I want to pay it forward as well.  GalleyMom, for some reason Class 15-15 did not accept my friend request, so let them know new Pictures are up on their page :)

I got a phone call today! topdog1p: My husband said he is in the foxtrot company (16-15 F) with your son. He said that their whole class is sub nukes all headed to SC afterwards. It was so great to hear from him! He said that RLP will be next Wednesday and that they will be getting laptops on Friday so they will be able to email then. They are also getting letters and can send letters as well. He said they are all coming along well in their RLP prep! Lots of great news over here today :) That is nice you are surrounded by other military families! Hopefully you hear from your son before too long! Thanks for the info CL!

My son was told to watch "Officer & A Gentleman before he left by a former OCS tactical instuctor. He was a wealth of good advise to Nathan before he left. I am fortunate as i live in a military community and my church is full of military families.

Jen27 and topdog1p: When an incoming OCS class is large, they divide it into two companies (groups) using the phonetic alphabet names.  My son told me that they do not reuse a name/letter until the last class with that name has graduated.  My son is in 15-15 and they are Charlie and Delta so it appears that Class 16-15 is Echo and Foxtrot. 

If you know the company/group you LO is in, you can use it when addressing letters to them (16-15E or 16-15F).  But if you do not know it, or forget to include it, the letter will still get to them.

While it is certainly true that a DI could decide to withhold their mail for a period of time, they have not done so the past two classes. So hopefully they are not holding it for 16-15.

You will likely hear from your LO through email after their RPT test next Thursday. But don't get too worried if you don't hear right away.  There are many reasons it would be delayed.  The OCs all have different duties and they may not have time to get to a computer to send the email when their classmates did. Or it could be that the training.navy.mil email is down. The message in this is to not stress if you do not hear right away. No news next Thursday is not necessarily bad news.  (Easy to say, I know. I have been there and held my breath all day as well.)

topdog1p: Oh really? I had no idea.. I'll have to ask him which one he is in next time I hear from him. I was traveling in Europe for the 3 weeks before he left and missed his last call after he checked in so yes it was so good to hear from him, even though he barely had any voice left haha. That's a great idea! I am planning on heading out there a few days early to maybe do a little sightseeing as well! If I am lucky, he will be able to join me for an evening or two :) Is your son heading to Nuclear Power School following OCS by chance?

Jen27 i understand there is 2 groups 16-15E and 16-15F not sure what the letter means he just said to address anything class 16-15F. it was nice that you got to hear from him on sunday. i know it would be tough not to talk to my hubby. yep graduation is the 4th if all goes well. you want to be there the for the day before too. i m using it to go to boston for a quick vacation :)
