Comment by diannep on August 24, 2012 at 1:09pm: Ok, Page. Sounds like he might be the Recruit Athletic Petty Officer. That's great! These are bootcamp leadership positions that they allow them to experience (they are over after bootcamp) which is great experience for them.

The RDCs are their "bosses"---Recruit Divisions Commanders!

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on August 24, 2012 at 11:46am: rhonda- not sure about while at liberty from RTC, but I think they mean to take with them to A school (if you see them off at airport, along w a few civis and phone, ipod, laptop(maybe). Anyhow, that's my take.

Comment by rhonda1880 on August 24, 2012 at 11:36am: Hello Ladies...I keep seeing reminders to bring your guys their boxer shorts. I thought I read that they had to stay in their Navy issued clothes while on liberty. Insight?

Comment by Page ship 09 div 287 9-7-12 on August 24, 2012 at 10:47am: @ diannep. Maybe I am i have the title wrong but as far as i know by reading my sons letter he made leadership in the athletic department area. Yes he is bootcamp. Not sure what RDC means?

Comment by sharbear36(ship 9 div 288) on August 24, 2012 at 10:42am: Angie, not according to where I live and Mapquest. I did a search because the last thing I would want to do is break the rules after being through bootcamp. His friend that graduates a week after is also coming home. Its close but I'm under the 50 miles :)

Comment by diannep on August 24, 2012 at 10:25am: Thanks, Lala! No, thinking the fishing trip may need to be postponed....unless we can get this storm to fizzle out! Pray hard!

Page: Athletic Petty Officers? Are you talking about a Recruit position....or the RDCs?

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on August 24, 2012 at 10:21am: Good morning ladies!

Comment by Page ship 09 div 287 9-7-12 on August 24, 2012 at 8:54am: Goodmorning Ladies! Just wondering if anyone has spoke of any of the athletic petty officers in 287? If so I would love to hear about it!

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on August 23, 2012 at 10:05pm: Me too! It was her wisdom teeth, I think. Was soo scared to get a call but now I am soo happy!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 23, 2012 at 9:32pm: I want all of my southern friends to know that I have you all in my thoughts and prayers. And my hubby is praying for you all even more than me. He and my son are supposed to leave here on Wednesday to come to New Port Richey for a Sword Fishing trip and it is NOT looking too good. I was supposed to come with them but have to sub so I won't be coming. And now, it looks like they may not be coming either. Fingers crossed that it fizzles out and goes away with little to no damage to anyone in it's path.
