In one week we will be picking James up for the weekend in California. Our older son Chris is home for this weekend from Chicago so we get to see both our boys within a week. Very happy!"
Peg and Dave commented on Marine Parents Inc's group Golf and Oscar Friends & Families"James tells me he will advance to Lance on August 1st as they normally have to wait 9 months from PFC to Lance. Congratulations to your son Steel.
I don''t know if James ordered a yearbook but if he did, we have not received…"

Peg and Dave replied to MinnMom's discussion 0651 Data Network Specialist in the group MOS Occ Field 06: Communications"0621 (Field Radio) and 0651 (Data Network). The timing of June 1st sounds about right since it seems like it is 5-6 weeks from arrival before they class up. Five weeks falls in Memorial Day week when they have a 96 so that may be the…"
Peg and Dave commented on Marine Parents Inc's group Golf and Oscar Friends & Families"Thanks for clarifying the A, C thing. San Diego probably has alot nicer weather than 29 Palms and he will have the ocean to enjoy as well. So as nice as Pensacola is, I have a feeling he will enjoy San Diego as well."
Peg and Dave replied to ProudMarineMom's discussion New to MOS 0651 in the group MOS Occ Field 06: Communications"Some of the duties they have the MAT guys doing are in fact along the lines of their MOS. James worked in the computer labs while a MAT and started learning things during that period of time. He also did some guard duty but for the most part…"
Peg and Dave replied to ProudMarineMom's discussion New to MOS 0651 in the group MOS Occ Field 06: Communications"The good thing I think about daily tests is that they get immediate feedback on the day's lessons and know right away what they need to focus on. It seems that they often bunk guys in the same training section together so they have built…"
Peg and Dave replied to ProudMarineMom's discussion New to MOS 0651 in the group MOS Occ Field 06: Communications"The timing seems about right. I had forgotten you said he was at CP waiting to get sent to 29 Palms. I hope all goes well. Classes are pretty intense. James said they have at least one test and often two tests every day.

Peg and Dave replied to ProudMarineMom's discussion New to MOS 0651 in the group MOS Occ Field 06: Communications"Hi Tinamom, It looks a you are a fellow New Yorker, far from 29 Palms! James arrived at 29 Palms on March 13th and started classes two weeks ago so there is a bit of a delay. I hope all goes well for your son.

Peg and Dave replied to ProudMarineMom's discussion New to MOS 0651 in the group MOS Occ Field 06: Communications"Is your son a reservist or active duty? If active duty, it may be a bit longer than 2 weeks.

Peg and Dave commented on Marine Parents Inc's group Golf and Oscar Friends & Families"I actually lived in Springfield, MO just down the street from that Bass Pro Shop though that was 33 years ago and I know they have added on ALOT to it since then, and it was big 33 years ago!"
Peg and Dave commented on Marine Parents Inc's group Golf and Oscar Friends & Families"Sanstrick - so happy for you! What does your son do job wise back at home or is he doing college classes? We are really excited about seeing James over Memorial Day. He is doing really well in his classes so far but is really SO ready to get off the…"
Peg and Dave replied to MinnMom's discussion 0651 Data Network Specialist in the group MOS Occ Field 06: Communications"My son just started his MOS and I was also curious about "what next?" Your answer was a great help. Thanks so much for taking the time to map it out for us."
Peg and Dave commented on Marine Parents Inc's group Golf and Oscar Friends & Families"My son is going to be 21 and is engaged. They are wisely waiting until she finishes college before tying the knot. I hope things turn out well for your son. They are all so young and you just hope and pray that all works out."
Peg and Dave replied to ProudMarineMom's discussion New to MOS 0651 in the group MOS Occ Field 06: Communications"There also is a movie theater with all first run offerings for $2.00."

raimerword said… Thanks for the invite, Peg and Dave. I finally got word that our sons made it to 29 Palms at 7:35 EST/4:35 PST. I was up throughout the night in prayer for safe travels for them all. Learned that Adam is in 0621, not the other MOS. Hope you have heard from James. I understand that they will have a long day today.
