DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

letters from my love

I got more letters from my love today, 3 to be exact! He got his orders for “A” school. He got the rate of “FC” or Fire Controlman, he had wanted “ET” but said this will do. Didn’t say if they were “accompanied” orders… silly. I will find out when I get up there I guess. On the 25th he said they took Test 2 and out of 160…

You are from Goose Creek?  Currently anyway.  I loved Goose Creek I was stationed at Charleston and lived in Goose Creek.  My two oldest daughters were born there.  The oldest is the one in boot.  Say hi to Goose Creek for me.  There was a resturuant on I think it was River?  That we loved to go to.  Throwing peanuts on the floor was great.  Wish I could remember the name of it so I could ask you if it is still there.  Is the weapons station there still?

He WILL get to live off base with you, he just needs to submit a Live Ashore package once he moves over to the school side.  Once it's approved he will be able to stay with you except when he has duty.  If you read thru the "Wives Club" thread within the AECF group - there is a lot of info about different areas of GL that you might want to move to, it also discuss Live Ashore packages, etc that will be of interest to you.

 

Hawaii orders are not easy to get but when you graduate from school, you are rated based on your class standings and our soon was Honor Grad at C school so there was five students in the class and five sets of orders; one set for Hawaii and four sets for Norfolk, VA...he's LOVING Hawaii!!!

Hey Heather,

Thanks , after I sent that I thought he was probably in BC. That is good though that he got that at BC . My son was the AROC at BC. Maybe at PIR he will be easy to see, he may be given some special recognition or something. My son and the RPOC wore white belts  and stood on the front of the group , so it was easy for me to see  him. Thanks for the reply though. Best of luck to your Recruit. Maybe I can help you LOL>>>

Wow! We really are on the exact same page! I draw hilarious pictures, put pix of everything from our daughter to our dog & I make questionnaires so he cab quickly respond to something. The first day I got his address I mailed 6 letters! I sure hope they're giving them their mail already.

Yea, it's understandable if he wants to focus & not think about how much he misses u. So, are you still writing? That's why I decided to keep my load of letters funny, upbeat & positive. I can sulk out here but I want to keep things easy on him in there. Good luck!
