Ugh NavyJane glad you got your letter but not news I was hoping for.. I have a bad feeling about DIV 115 since they're "brother divisions" with 116 and people say that normally the first 2 divisions are GnG.. I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow and see what Clay says :( (BOOOO!)

Got a letter from my girl today! She says that her RDC is telling them that they are a grad-and-go division and she will be leaving for her A school in San Antonio on Friday sometime after graduation. The RDC said there is a chance it could change, but he doubts it.

They actually have a pic of the week every week that shows a group of current recruits doing different things. This week was a training with guns, someone posted that they thought it was div 108 but i'm not sure. Then today there was a pic of an RDC doing a rack inspection

Also---youre right...they dont have as much info as ours. And its not as 'chatty' ...lol
If you see anyone on there that may seem lost and asking questions...dont be afraid to steer them to this website. A lot of moms/wives, etc..dont know about this site and are so happy to have someone tell them about it..:))

quiltblue--YES!! there are photos posted there. Most of the newer photos are from that weekends PIR. I dont think there is a 900 division in this group...but there are usually photos of them performing at the graduations. Im not on FB too much, i just started on there (too keep in touch with my sailor) so im just learning about it. But i kow that once in a while, they will post pics of the recruits when they have a special visitor (Commanders, etc..), and you can search the backgrounds to see if you can spot a familiar face. They will also post pics of uniform fittings, and PT time, so...you never know. I never spotted my son in any photos (blahhh!). i was even starting to wonder if he was still in there...lol The best thing to do is...if you notice they have updated their pics, drag the link over here so all the moms can get out their magnifying glasses to look for their SR's. It is such a good feeling when you are able to SEE them!!!
Also. if you click on the photos..they will enlarge and its really easy to search for them...:)))

did you all know that they post photos on the Facebook Navy RTC page? It's really cool to see them in uniform... I didn't see my son and they don't tell you which ship/div is photographed. Discussion groups are listed there as well, but they don't have as much information as us!

claysgirl---what was always considered a G&G is a recruit that graduates and then leaves shortly after. The RTC is now saying that they have changed that policy and the only recruits that leave shortly after are the ones that 'move' across the base to Aschool (GL's). BUT...there are still recruits that leave the next day, and they call them 'saturday departures'...but we one here still refer to them as Grad and Go's....does that make sense??...lol
SO...if you recruit says he is a G&G...he is probably just moving across the base the Aschool and you will still get to see them all weekend (possibly even overnight)...if your recruit says he is a 'Saturday departure'..then you will most likely only get to see them for a short while and then again at the airport.
We on N4Ms still call "saturday departures" Grad and Go's...and a lot of the recruiters still refer to them that way also.
The best thing to do is...when you speak to your recruits, ask them WHERE they are going to Aschool and WHEN they have to fly out.

Oh okay- I was wondering If "Clay" would know he was a Grad 'N Go though if the guys are telling him he's a Saturday Departure cause I dont want to confuse him. I have a feeling he will be cause hes in one of the first 2 divisions AND he's going to Pensacola and it seems to be common for them to be. I'm hoping since his PIR is small that MAYBE he wont be (not that I'm sure that would affect anything) ANYWAYS I was just going to post what I saw I didnt mean to confuse anyone (anymore than we already are lol)

dianne---i wanted to bring that subject up yesterday, but thought that the poor moms were probably confused enough already..and didnt want to throw too much more at them....lol It is confusing.
