I just got a letter from my husband that said he is getting his contract changed to SWCC. He also told me that the next SWCC school doesnt start until July. What will they be doing until then??
He said they have to stay in GL for 9 days and then ship out... to where?

if they drop prior to school starting maybe, otherwise no, they will wait until their scheduled time to start. If they are on hold they will have stuff that they do while waiting but make sure that they stay focused on why they are there. I have heard of some that do stupid stuff, drinking, dui's, getting lazy while waiting and then end up in trouble or out of the Navy. They need to have a plan on what they plan to do to stay focused and on track. Not a bad place to be on hold though San Diego is beautiful and it is a thrill for those that have never seen the ocean.
Again time-lines with the military is hurry up and wait based on the needs of the Navy, be flexible and put things in pencil not pen as it will likely change.

Sitting in line at the naval base, in the rain, at 5:58 am waiting for the gate to open. Butterflies in my stomach. Can't believe the day is finally here.
