Thank you Jim! I don't really understand what I did incorrectly though because I chose "OCS" in the pull-down menu for the grouping. Kind of confusing...

Hi Todd, My son is in the same OCS class as yours. If he is flying out of DFW this morning, I believe they met. My son sent a message that he just met another candidate. If you have not already found it there is a Facebook Group for the class: US Navy OCS Class 07-15 Family and Friends. It just started a day or two ago. My wife and I have joined.

Wow. Small world! Yep...we dropped him off for his flight this morning. It left at 1110. It's a sad/happy/proud day for us all...extremely mixed emotions. I found the FaceBook page...thanks!! My join request is pending. I contacted Newport OCS for the 07-15 class grad date. We had heard there is a holiday break, which would of course affect the 12 week course's grad date and yep...they have a 2 week holiday break. They graduate Feb 27. We plan to be there for the 'Hi Mom' Thursday eve, along with the Fri AM graduation.

We are delighted that they met. Nice to start off knowing someone.
We, too, will be there for graduation and a few days before.
Looking forward to meeting you.

And I just checked out your son's FB webpage. He graduated UNT. So did my son...electrical engineering this past summer. And your son went to Marcus. We lived in Flower Mound when my sons were in HS and they also graduated Marcus! I can imagine the good feeling they have going to this tough class...with a touch of home on the way.

My son (Robert) is also in 07-15.  We live in the DFW area.  Sounds as though there are several Texans in that class!  I am retired Navy, and went to OCS a looooong time ago.

Michael and Robert..that makes 4 of us! There's also 1 more I've been in contact with. Isn't that coincidental since from the photos I see of graduated classes, there are less than 50...from all 50 states. Wow.
