IslandMom - My daughter is in a different div but same grad date. She is also going into AECF so I assume they'll be in class together up in Great Lakes?
I was following along on the day to day 'schedule' online. Yesterday would have been her Week 3 Day 1. According to the schedule (I realize there could be some variation), today is the day (Week 3/Day 2) that they indicate their preferred rating (FC or ET) and will find out sometime in Week 4 what the Navy's final decision is for them.
I just wanted to stop in, 'introduce' myself and say 'Hello'. :o)

AECF is Advanced Electronics/Computer Field. We are from Florida. Are you and your family going to the graduation?

What part of Florida? we have friends in Destin. We go a few times a year but will go more this summer since Trevor will be at A school in Pensacola. His wife is due to have their first baby in Nov so we want to spend as much time as possible down there before she can no longer travel. We are definately going to graduation! Can't wait!!

Wish my son was in A school at Pensacola! Destin is beautiful. My son's A school is in Great Lakes. We live in southwest, FL - Pine Island, My boys are 6th generation natives here on the island. I don't know how my son is going to handle the cold weather up there. Congrats on the grandbaby! I too can't wait til graduation! Wouldnt miss it for the world.

Our daughter reported on 12 March. Received the box, but no mail as yet. We are hoping she is hanging in there. She really wants this (will be a structural aircraft mechanic). We are in Virginia, but she departed from Oklahoma. Looking forward to seeing everyone there at PIR on 4 May 2012!
