I am so desperately in need on any information from any family members here who have had a sailor in the SARC pipeline please!!
I have to say, and I haven't gone back in the posts to see if anyone else has mentioned it, but they are awesome at FMTBeast (love that it says beast at the end!, cause these corpsman rock!!) on their facebook page, about posting pics, almost a thousand for any one class. And they seem to work hard to make sure everyone gets a pic. So families get to see their loved ones. Just a note to new families, and I heard this from day one at Great Lakes, don't post any comments on the site about your loved ones. It just draws attention to them from the training staff, which is not a good thing no matter how nice the post. Cindy R and Joe's Mom hope to see you there. Feel free to IM me on here....
If new families don't know this site below had some good basic info about the program including a syllabus of what they are doing each week.
That's wonderful that you all are going! Though I was last at CL and CJ in August, it's been several years since I attended Field Med graduation. Please post about your experiences so we can update the info, yay!
We will be there for the 3/9 graduation. We are staying at the Inn too. I've been reading the info & tips posted for the graduation. Thanks for all the information. It's been very helpful.
Staying at Inn of the Corps please PM me love to meet you. Hopefully you have caught a glimpse of your son on the FMTBeast FB.
Anyone heading down to NC for FMTB on 3/9?
Did your sailors get into the next FMTB class after their A school graduation? I noticed that the next FMTB-E class to begin is in April... but there's a rumor that it may already be at capacity so my sailor may be on hold until the next FMTB class beginning in July... any word?
Ah yes that makes me feel so much better about his orders... my hope is that the FMTB training will be fun and exciting enough for him before he settles down into a hospital position. Plus the transition out of the Navy and opportunities for him will be great (I'm hoping). Thank you for your encouragement Marcy!
