My sailor completed the Dep guide PQS, passed the written test while @ recruit training command and passed the PT-Baseline with a SAT-MED as stated by the advanced paygrade requirements. She was told by her ICC that she passed the test and had been promoted to E-2. She was not given any paperwork but was allowed to have the rank put on her dress uniform for graduation. She was sent to A-school where noone could give her any information. When she arrived at her permanent duty station, no…

I'm new to this so I'm not sure what all I am supposed to write but my boyfriend leaves for BC on April 4th. We have known now for about six months so I have had time to let it settle in. I have read a lot of the different post and it worries me because so many don't receive a letter for almost a month. My boyfriend is 29 and he is older compared to a lot of the diff ones I have read about. I really feel like I am going to be okay while he is gone. I know it will be hard but I want him…

Just got an encouraging message from a recent grad on the RDC site:
Adam: Ship 03 is the best! I didn't get to get my first letters out until 2+ weeks after I started. Ship 03 has the best RDC's though. They're strict, but when it came to graduation, all of the divisions from Ship 03 did miles better than the other divisions in our graduating push. Good luck to your…

Effective Immediately:
New Sailors reporting to TSC GL from RTC after PIR will no longer have overnight liberty, they will be in Phase 1 and treated as such; with the exception they can leave the base only if their family is here and they must have approval from the Barracks LCPO. They MUST return to the base and barracks EVERY night at the time told to them by their COC in the barracks.
No…

Last night I posted that I had a call from my son and was told the the Denver was deploying as soon as they could prepare and all leaves were cancelled. They were supposed to be on stand-by to evacuate over 1000 military dependants. Approximately 4 hours later he called back to say don't cancel your flight just yet. The Admiral said it would take too long to get the Denver ready so they are staying put and leaves are back on. Yippee!! Now if the airlines and government will allow me to…

My husband is safe at home with another underway scheduled for at some point within the next month or so, and I'm hearing of other women around me whose husbands will be deployed. Two of their husbands are on the same boat. They will be gone from May til November, according to one husband of friend of mine's the boat that is being deployed is a "good boat." My husband was stationed on a boat that was out of commission for quite a while and is constantly being worked on. All I have to say…
