DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Hello

It has been a long time since I have posted and I am sorry. I hope everyone has been able to connect with others in the PACT program. My son is now 3 and a half years in and it has been a great experience. He thought he wanted to be an AM. When he got on the ship, he was put with the AO’s. Now he is an AD3. It was best for him to start PACT because we didn’t know much about the Navy and he wasn’t sure what he wanted to do. This has been a good route for him.

She goes through the BST tonight or tomorrow night. She SPACT and will be going to GL for school, I think it s something like two weeks or so. I am glad I seen this site, I'm hoping to find out more about undesignated sailor, from what I am reading it may not be as bad as I thought it was. she also has 2 1/2 years of college, and thank youVickie360 for the welcome.

Comment by Vickie360 on July 27, 2015 at 2:09am: Welcome penny's!!! Is your sailor in bootcamp?

Comment by Vickie360 on July 27, 2015 at 2:08am: Daniel- My son graduated on January 30th and was finished in Pensacola and home on leave March 20th. I think they were still backed up a bit from the holidays.
Congratulations to you!!! I hope you can get it all worked out!!

Comment by Daniel on July 26, 2015 at 5:09pm: @Michael's mom thank you so much for that information. We don't know which ship she'll be on yet. I hope to see her soon and ask her 'the question'

Comment by Daniel on July 26, 2015 at 3:42pm: Hi everyone My girlfriend is due to PIR next week. I'm in the Army stationed in Germany and I am hoping to take leave the same time she takes leave after A school. Does anyone know if there is a wait to class up for A-PACT Sailors in Pensacola. If there is a wait or hold due to Sailors waiting for a spot in class how long is the wait?

I haven't seen her in a long time and I am planning on asking for her hand in marriage. I have to request my leave by Wednesday and any help in scheduling so I can see my EVERYTHING would be greatly appreciated

Comment by Daniel on July 22, 2015 at 12:50pm: Michael's mom thank you for the warm welcome, I am stationed at stuttgart. It is very beautiful here especially in the summer and Christmas time.

Comment by MissiMom9470 on July 22, 2015 at 10:27am: splash Thanks so much. We are excited and a bit nervous about this new experience. I'm sure I will be asking more and more questions as his boot camp starts. I'm just trying to learn all of these abbreviations right now and what they all mean.

Comment by splash on July 22, 2015 at 10:14am: Michael's mom. Forgive me but I cannot remember...did you already go to see Michael or is that coming up soon?
