    hi Rita!  my son went thru OCS last year!  are you a member of the OCS Class page on facebook??  I checked it everyday as a life line for getting information on what was going on at OCS when you can't talk to your son!!  there are also pics posted on the main OCS Training facebook page, so you can get a taste of what is in store for your son!!  the only tip I can give, is that I wrote my son (who said he didn't want any letters) many letters of encouragement and he said they meant a lot to him and he even reread them!  couldn't believe that!  he even wrote me many letters till he got email.  I think things have changed up a bit since my son went thru OCS but if you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them!!!

    Make at least change 3 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link). There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes. Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP code to one that is not easily associated with your loved one.
