Hi, I noticed your question concerning PACT program. My son is in bootcamp right now and is going into APACT. My understanding is he will shadow about 18 different jobs and has 2 years in which he can strike for a job that he likes. My husband was in the Navy and says it will be a great opportunity for our son. It sounds like it gives him the chance to try out several jobs before he makes his decision....and then take the one he really likes. This is new to me so someone else may have some better information for you.
That is why my son chose it. When he was ready to go he was ready to go...Patience is not one of his best qualities! He went to MEPS the first time in mid September and left on December 13th. So, I definitely understand where he is coming from. Will he be leaving from Columbus? That is where my son left from and I noticed you are in Cincinnati.
So very sorry for your loss, I will pray for you and your family in your time of grief. Know that your father is no longer suffering, he is at piece now and in a better place. I know how difficult this is for your family, I lost my brother and then my dad almost a month later in the end of 2011. Your dad will always be with you.
hi my son left one day before to the hotel took nothing but a heavy jacket for the cold and his phone..shoes he wore..he wanted to throw away ..that way he had only few things to send back home ..less money to send home ..took a telephone card with him as well ..hope i have done well ..got my info from here and there ..hope i have helped..stay strong
