<p>My son is currently on his first deployment on a carrier, and since his deployment began in August of last year, he has received the Sailor of the Month (department) then Sailor of the Week (ship wide). Since he is on a carrier, I was very happy with the SOW considering there are well over 5000 sailors on board at full capacity. :) I was sent a very nice letter from the Captain for SOW and a wonderful picture of when he was given the ship's coin from the Captain.

He has also received a couple of letters of Appreciation and last week told me that he received a Letter of Commendation from the Admiral. Today he emailed me and told me he was selected for the Blue Jacket of the Quarter for his department and that means he is in the running for BJOQ ship wide. He has had his board for this and is waiting to hear if he was chosen. Does anyone know how long that usually takes? </p> I'm so glad I found this page…tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2012-12-06:1971797:Comment:75065452012-12-06T21:09:35.058ZHelen, T-man's momhttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/SoccerMom683
<p>I'm so glad I found this page!! My son just told me he was up for SOQ. Neither of us knows what it is. His chief told him to fill out his brag sheet. He's like what for? He has no clue! He's been busting his butt in his division and the current one he's "temping" in unti they get deployed. He's always been about hard work and helping out. Nice to see someone's noticing. Even if he doesn't get it, I'm really proud of him. Pretty cool!</p>

<p>Our son recently received 3 awards - Outstanding Performance, Sailor of the Month and a NAM - he was nominated as Jr. Sailor of the Quarter - he said they told him about it a day before he had to go in front of the board - he said that review didn't go so well - but he is always very humble about these things - we are so proud of him and told him it was an honor to be nominated as JSOQ and that he probably did better than he thinks!

It can take a while, and usually there is little notice for the ceremony. Usually takes place in conjunction with a planned quarterly inspection, and sometimes they don't notify the sailor in advance! He might not know himself until right before anything happens. Who would know? The Command Masterchief, that's who. You usually can come up with their number using google and a little search savvy. Can't hurt to try.

<p>My son has just been nominated for SOY and an NAM; As so many other Mom's have said; "It is like pulling teeth to get any information from a humble kid". I am just so proud and excited! Does anyone know how much notice between the confirmation and award ceremony? I would love to attend, but would have to travel from California to Georgia... I would move mountains to go with enough notice! Any feedback would be appreciated!</p>
