Thanks for the welcome all - great to be here.  My son Matt is in is second week of OCS - he's slotted for pilot training.  If that pans out he'll be in the service 10 years (2 years flight training and then an 8 year commitment.)  I'll be around awhile. :-).

             Much to our pleasant surprise my wife and i received our sons 2nd.call on april 19th. two days before his 2nd week. Wow! He sounds like he is having a blast.

What is ready 6 & basic in terms of a DDG? These are phases of training & prep. I'm not exactly sure what is meant. Our sailor has been on a DDG 4 mo. They continue to ramp up with more training. Thanks!

My son left on April 7th and his mother and I have been writing every day since. We are compiling the letters waiting for his address so we can mail them to him. We have quite a few pages between the two of us and we were wondering if we can put them all together in a large 8x11 envelope so he gets the first batch all at once? From there on in we would mail the letters in a standard envelope as we write them.

BTW. This site is amazing. Tons of great information that brings me through all different emotions.
