Enless wait the SAGA continues
Make sure he can get to MEPS on the first processing day of the month, or atleast that first week. We are starting to filter in our QNJ's.

It should be legit. I know I have made pretty good friends with the classifiers that handle these situations and a lot of times I can get my people at the top of the list. As a matter of fact just ...

Navy pranks for new sailors to look out for

Cell Phone Useage
That's really weird. In the 8 years I have been in I have never had my cell phone taken away for a few days at a time. I guess you should talk to them and find out what's goin on!

Well, I guess if I were stationed over seas then I would get one!! Probably a good idea.
Na, I don't think it is necassary. When you go over seas with the Navy your covered. Now if you want to travel outside the US on your own time then you one.
What about them?
Sounds good to me! Just let me know what you need me to do!
Take over the group?! That depends on what I have to do! My wife already gets mad at me for being on the internet all night! lol. Plus I'm not a mom...would that be weird?
Well, it has been kind of hit and miss. Every district is different but right now we have had some good luck on getting people in. I have three in right now since the beggining of the month and that's more than I have put in since July! As long as...
oh, ok. That is kinda shady. I don't think I would treat anyone that way! Good luck though!!
Me?...26.
See, I should have known better! J/k...you ladies are great! Its good to know these sailors have such great support. I didn't really have that same support so I was on my own and forced to grow up and take care of everything! Luckly the Navy has l...
No way to tell! Even if the school is right across the street you could stay at bootcamp for the weekend!
Well I am sure a lot of moms are going to want to kill me for this comment! This won't apply to everyone but if your a high school kid going into the Navy, how many responsibilities could you possibly have that require a power of attorney? Do you ...
The reason they are pushing for marriage is because you can't go active duty and be a single parent. And what did the other recruiter lie about?

I was very upset on Friday. I ran into a problem I have never had in the almost two years I've been recruiting. I had a guy that was 6 pounds UNDER the minimum weight and couldn't get in. So most of you might be asking yourself what the heck am I ...
Ok, so here's the deal! He had to re-take the ASVAB because he scored 20 or more points on this test than he has in the previous test within the last 6 months. The reason why it really doesn't matter is because when he re-takes it he is going to d...

Mary, Proud Mom of Nick said… - Welcome to AECF group Brandon! I've been out of town for a few weeks so late with my welcome party ;-) I started the AECF group because I was an FC wife for 10 years and now our son is an FC as well (Aegis Spy Radar) and is serving with the USS Chung Hoon out of Pearl Harbor. How long have you been Navy? Is this your first shore duty? I see you are a recruiter, I know there are not alot of options for FCs for shore duty. My hubby got his Master Training Specialist NEC and taught at Mare Island (now closed) for his shore duty. We lived in Yokosuka for seaduty and loved it.
Have you met my friend CCR yet? Her son is a CIWS as well with the Blue Ridge and she lives in Texas!

ZachsMomShawna said… - Hi, yes I have a question about my son's recruiter and why it may be taking so long for him to get to MEPS. Zach has been in contact with his recruiter since late June. He went in, expressed his interest in the Navy and decided to start the action of enlisting. So far, he has had a medical evaluation of a hand injury which was cleared. All the necessary paperwork and documents have been turned in, but he still has not taken the ASVAB or been to MEPS. Honestly, his recruiter seems disorganized, and uninterested to me. He has told Zach that he needs to have his Medical records evaluated, when Zach already got word from him, that they were approved, or cleared. It is frustrating, and since my son is almost 21, he wants to handle this on his own.
without my interfering.
I have suggested mayeb seeing another recruiter, but Zach is afraid of losing more time or the word getting back to the current recruiter and making things worse....any thoughts??

NavyDad said… - According to my son's enlistment contract, he was supposed to be promoted to E-2 upon completion of Recruit Training. When I saw him last week at PIR, he was still an E-1. He said he would be promoted once he started A school, but he was also told he might be on hold for 4 months.
He does not seem to concerned, but I spent 10 years in and I know how important the advancement dates can be when you are going for that next stripe.
Should he work this up his chain of command or do they have a personnel office on GL for him to go too?

Sailor Karrie (Shawn) said… - Brandon, I have an important question, my fiancee is currently at BC, and her PIR is on Oct 16, we had been planning to do a quick wedding after her graduation, which her RDC said it was no problem, and the recruiting office here in Panama City said it was no problem, but now she's saying another RDC gave her a different answer and told her she can't get married until she reaches her A school, otherwise she'll get kicked out of the Navy. Could you give me a clarification on this, because it seems like we are just getting different answers from all directions.

Angie F.- WA: HM mom said… - Hey Brandon, i need your help to help a very concerned Dad. Can you tell me what this discharge is DD-214? Would someone with that ever be able to enlist in any branch of the military again? Also, do you know if there are any medical/VA benefits for a Recruit who did not make it through BC, but will need to seek treatment when he gets home? Thanks! I'll check back in tonight.
