So my son just graduated bootcamp 10/1/10 and said he is going to be combat search and rescue. Is that this group? Doesn't seem like it because he is not doing swimming, but can't seem to find a search and rescue group. I am just a little confused here.

Lynda.... I go to Pennsacola for RSS. At least thats how it stands now. There were rumors around my recruiting office that they might be trying to send us elsewhere cuz of the whole gulf disaster but thats only rumors. On a general note. Im leaving on the 7th to start on the 8th. I might not be back on because Im going to concentrate on working out these last few days since you cant workout hardly your first week in basic. Ill get back in touch after basic. Thank you everyone!
