One week ago today, we were finishing up our time with our son. God is good!!! Of course, that goes without saying! It is amazing how much it takes for me to believe He has our best interests in mind. When I could finally relax and realize He had it all together, everything fell beautifully into place.

Last Wednesday, our third child was in the process of getting his driver's license. My husband had some questions about our insurance, so he and I had been calling each other back and…

Is there anyone who has son or daughter in ship 12 div 010?

Here is some info on Flags and pennants.

You can earn the drill flag, athletic flag, academic flag, and inspection flag; all the scores are added up for an average. Then if they score high enough they get a Battle E flag. If you score even higher still you get the CNO flag. That one's really hard to get.

When my son graduated, his division and one other division got the Battle E, and that other div also got the CNO...and that was out of 7, so it's tough.

HI ALL!!!  I'M LOOKING FOR A COPY OF THE RTC GRADUATION DVD FROM SEPTEMBER 14, 2012.  MY SON WAS SUPPOSED TO ORDER IT AND ONLY ORDERED PICTURES.

THEY TOLD ME SOME WERE STILL AVAILABLE SO I MAILED A CHECK RIGHT AWAY AND THEN RECEIVED A LETTER YESTERDAY THAT THERE WERE NO MORE!!!!  I AM HAPPY TO PAY WHAT THEY CHARGE AND SHIPPING COSTS!!  PLEASE HELP!!!

Leaving tomorrow morning to see my first born son graduate Basic Training. I can't say enough of how proud we are of him. It broke my heart to say goodbye to him this past August, but God got me through it!

  Thank you Navy moms for all your kind words & encouragment, it is much appreciated. :)

Our daughter just checked into OCS at Newport this past Sunday as a nupoc and we did not hear from her until this evening - apparently she meets her Drill Instructor in the morning - but we had a very bad connection and we couldn't hear much except that she is the ONLY girl in her class!! Because of this, she has a room to herself but she sounded disappointed - I think that it surprised her that there were no other girls and of course, I am a little worried that she doesn't have anyone to…

I received my 1st call from bootcamp & it was not what I was expecting. He was calling to inform me that he was in the hospital with a sprained ankle. At that point him nor I knew what was going to happen. I then received a 2 minute call yesterday from him stating that he was on a 30 day hold, would not be graduating with his division & would have to wait to be placed in another. He said he would try to inform me of a later graduating date. Does this mean he will be doing an extra 30…

Hi.  My son is going to boot camp on 2/25/13.  I had a few questions, some dumb, some not so dumb.  First, after boot camp, they are moved to different barracks for the duration of their A school training, correct?  During boot camp lights out at 10 p.m. and lights on at 3:30 a.m.??  But after the 8 weeks of grueling work, they won't have to have that same schedule of getting up at 3:30 a.m., correct?  My son is studying to be a hull technician.  So after his schooling he will be assigned to…

Hey, everyone!!!!!! Keep an eye on the RTC on Facebook as they post random pictures of the recruits every couple of weeks. I saw my son in uniform marching the other day and it was just the medicine I needed for my sick heart. Please keep posting on the site as it is truly our only haven during this storm. It is the closest thing to be being with them as we can get at this point. Good luck to all and your SRs!!!!
