OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

RPOC - Recruit Petty Officer, Chief - Congrats to him more PT (physical training) If you are getting calls on day 4 they must have a real nice RDC. You will probably get many calls if they are already letting them call on day 4. His division obviously does not have my sons RDC in it. LOL you were really lucky to get phone calls today. Good luck to you and your husband.

Thanks, I hope he gets more calls, I told him to keep up the good work to earn them as much as possible. He is the old guy in the group, so I am sure he has to prove himself. I almost didn't recognize his voice, it was so horse from all the yelling!

Yes my son was always horse from yelling also. He was horse PIR weekend too. My son is in A school at GL and he just called from Chicago. They are getting ready to go back to base and I told him you guys got day 4 phone calls. He was like WHAT. He said the same thing I said. They obviously don't have his RDC. LOL

Congrats to your husband. My son made division leader and he said it is fun and sucks at the sametime. When the recruits do not do what they are told it is his butt on line, and he is the one that gets yelled out and has to do the PT. My son has 13 days left of BC, his PIR is 8/20/10. You were very lucky to get a call on day 4 you husband must have very nice RDC's. My son call me on week 3, and I got another phone this past week. God Bless You and Family. Here is a motto to remember if you do not get the phone calls - no news is good news.

Thanks Debbie, I was expecting to get a letter in the mail before a phone call. I actually thought something was wrong when I answered. I kept asking him if he was ok, if something was wrong. Guess I was thinking no news was good news allready. But it was all good!
Blessings!! -

So your the nice lady who loves rocky road ice cream. lol Your husband must have got the same RDC that my T had in bc cause he called me about 6 days into bc. and every week after that too. His division won the flag something "Gold" with initials. His div had the same number of intellectuals as they did of physical Sr's...cause they scored really well within the other divisions...I think that the Sr's were really hungry to "getter done". lol
Good luck, and write those letters they love them!! -

Yup, I am surprised my 1/2 gal. of rocky road has lasted this long!! But I still have a few bowls left in there! How encouraging to think I might get a phone call each week!
