    I forgot to ask. What job is your son doing and where is he going for A school. Casey my daughter is going to be a EO with the Seabee's and going to Missurri for A school.

    Hi Navymom74, I have gotten two letters so far, no phone calls though. I can't wait to hear from him on Thursday. Let me know if you hear any news. It sounded like everything was going OK from my boys letters. I will let you know if I hear anything.

    Hi!

    Yes, I got my call on Thursday. My son sounded good, although he had been sick like most of the guys. He seems to be doing well. Of course the phone call was way too short

    : (. I can't wait until we get to see them graduate!

    I am not sure how the training works, I was under the impression that in BC the division would have the same training and then once they go to A-school their training would be geared to whatever their job was going to be......but I could be totally wrong LOL. My son is going to be a diver so I think that he will have to stay at G.L. a little longer than some of the other guys. I will be interested to see when his actual dive school in Fla. will start, It would be nice if he had a little break in between so we could spend some time with him.

    I'm so looking forward to meeting you!  What is you son's job?  Mine will be a Diver, if all goes according to his master plan.  :D

    Some of the other moms have asked similar questions on some of the forums, from what I understand you would have been called. My son said that he missed his 'live fire' test because he was sick with a 103 temperature for 4 days, but they are letting him make it up, so I think your boy is probably fine. So many things for us moms to worry about! LOL.

    Yes, yes, I'm sure you would've gotten a call by now!  Sometimes it's hard to get the real impact of words in a letter and it could be that, although he missed passing that test, he wasn't too far off.  I know that any of these SpecOps programs are tough, but the RDCs are there to help them GET THROUGH, not to snatch them up cackling and pronounce them failures.  They do want them to succeed and will push, push, push them hard to see them do it.  I hope you get another letter today or Monday with the outcome!

    In most divisions it is about 50/50 But for the 800 divisions they almost always use the first name because they have a higher security clearance.
