    My Son is on ship 7 Div 290 and I got my frist lettr from him today and also got a phone call from him also, he is doing fine now, the frist two weeks was very hard for him. His mother is sweating bullets for her baby. I am a army vet, so I know what they go thru, so I told him to buckle down, take the crap, past battlestations, and move on to the day when he will say "I am a Navy Seaman". Each day is aday closer to that PIR Date of Sept 1 st. I am proud of all of the going thru boot camp right now in a special way.

    Well we got good and bad news. Bad news Ethan is getting discharged for Medical. He had a cyst form on the bottom side of one of his toes. He will be home sometime next week. The good news is that he was told that he can get back in after he gets a clean bill of health from personal Dr. I would still like to come to P.I.R. with all of you but now we have to turn our focus on getting Ethan back to full speed and see what he wants to do from here. I know that right now he is saying that he is going back, he wanted to finish basic but with the removal of the cyst made it where he coldn't perform any PT. I feel that he will make a full recovery and be right back in Great Lakes in no time at all.

    The RCPO is the primary recruit assistant to RDCs....think this term is no longer used in favor of

    RPOC is the Recruit Chief Petty Officer

  • Cheryl Hartman July 29, 2011 at 8:48pm

    Is R-POC the same as RCPO?

    Jim it is up to you if you and Bev want to come to the peir or not. I just figured that would save you guys a day of vacation and would give you a chance to show us some Indiana love. I want to see the Campus there in South Bend, especially that big gold dome. "Rudy" "Rudy" "Rudy".....lol

    Sure! I'm sure she'd love any extra support. She tried to be all tough and cool before she went, but this is a big shock for her; it's the first time she's been on her own. She's only 17!

     

    Just PM me for her address & details.

    Thisisnotmyname, would you mind if i drooped a letter to your daughter of encouragement? I dont know that it will help but I know my son got a letter frkm a friend if my wifes that he has never met and he said that hearing her encouragement meant a lot to him and helped him push through his medical problems and made him realize that he had a lot of people oulling for him, even though he may not know them.
