Navy Dads

 

I have been reading everything I can about where and when a SWCC candidate goes after bootcamp (in our case 5-11 PIR). I am going to book my tickets soon and want to stay until Monday if my son will be around but will leave Saturday if he is flying to San Diego Saturday. Does anyone have a handle on this? I get mixed readings and of course no letters yet and don't know if he even knows..

Stacy, my son only got a (less than) 20 min call, while the rest of his DIV (813) got longer ones, because he is on ship staff. If your son didn't call this may be the reason. As my SR explained in a letter, the staff has duties that keep them busy and just fell into slot that allowed him a chance to make the call. Hope you hear from him soon. Best of luck to him and all our recruits. 

Guys, just posted a SWCC video. Don't know if you have seen it yet but check it out.

Yes, that is exactly what happened to my son. I just got a letter explaining he was on ship staff and 45 minute calls were made by his division (812) while he was doing staff duties, and he was not allowed to make a call until much later . After about 10 days he got a 15 minute call.

 After serving several years in active duty and reserve duty Navy, I should know better than trying to make sense out of everything.
