So, I haven't heard from FC1 Officer in some time. I deleted all the info here because it is probably wildly out of date. When I can get more current information I will post it here again. I'll see if my son can get me some new information.

Thanks for the info, Paul, I think you're right!  I spoke to my son this morning and he heard that he's at the top of the list and should be getting something within the next couple of weeks ... fingers crossed!

Tim, when I was at the A school ceremony last week I saw Nat come by and report to FC1 that he was sick.  Great to hear that he is feeling better and received his certificate for FC, Congrats! 

Andrew, the Sailors I met that got orders last week had been on hold for quite a while so I'm sure your son will get his soon.  Let us know when you hear something.

Sandy, all of the paperwork for his security clearance was provided to his recruiter before he left.  I guess the issue was the system they were using was in the midst of going through some major changes.  My son didn't find out until he finished A school and was waiting for orders.  Once I found out, I contacted the recruiter and he checked the system.  The recruiter found the information needed to be removed from the old system and input AGAIN into the new system ... too bloody funny!  Anyway, long story short, it got figured out!

 

As for that being the hold up; not possible!  My son had orders before and lost them due to his injury, so I'm not sure why others, who have been there a lot shorter time, are receiving orders before him.  He's not too worried about it right now, since there are more than him in this same predicament.  I'll keep you posted!
