My son is rated ET. :)
I am in Cleburne area. Not to far from you all. and Yes, enjoy PIR. The pride and excitement you feel when those doors open you see your sailor is nothing to compare to! I hope you have the entire weekend, and even that goes by fast. Take lots of pictures, get and give lots of hugs! Safe travels to you when you go!
I'm outside Fort Worth on the western side, as in Springtown. My son is finishing "A" school at Goose Creek, SC, and is about to drive home for a visit at the end of this month.
I love Lake Tawakoni! Did you fish for catfish or hybrids? George is a great fishing guide if you ever want to hire one. My son is just now finishing "A" school in Goose Creek, SC.
Hi Ladies!
Just have to share a story with y'all. My husband and I took the weekend and went to Lake Tawakoni to do some fishing, and relaxing. On Saturday I went to a nail salon in a close small town, and got a pedicure. A nice lady sitting across the table from me was chatting about her sons wedding the next day, and since he was in the Navy she was so excited. Turns out after a few minutes of conversation, he had just graduated from A school a few days ago and I shared my son graduated from BC May 16. Its such a small world and was wonderful to share with another navy mom.
I didn't catch her name but if she should read this, I just wanted to say Thanks! It made my day! and I always look forward to running into more Navy Moms! Only one of us can know that feeling!
ooops! Missed the "t" in that word "go". GOT and he had told us he called the cadence, so I guess he is AROC.
Thank you for responding to my question. I should have been able to figure that one out as he had told us he was a Division Leader. He also go promoted to E2 after four weeks of Basic, so I guess he is doing well. He is also a Yeoman which means clerical work, I think.
Someone help me out: What does RPOC and AROC stand for? Navy Speak doesn't give me the answer. I think it stands for something like Recruit Petty Officer C----? and AROC ?
