Same date as daughters PIR, different ship/division though. Anxious to see if there is any "change" in her.

Leroy Gutierrez replied to David B's discussion WINTR in the group Ask a Recruiter"David,
Here college credits can be used in one of two ways, If she scored a 50 or higher on the Asvab, she can use her college credits to get a higher paygrade. If she did not score a 50 or higher then MEPS can use her college credits to make her a…"
David B replied to David B's discussion WINTR in the group Ask a Recruiter"Chief West- Thank you for the response. What factors are we talking about? The recruiter in Clearwater FL said No to advanced rank, nothing on bonues. I told Natalie to go to another recuriter who knew is busness. When she told me , she went to MEPS…"
Chief West replied to David B's discussion WINTR in the group Ask a Recruiter"David,
I know it has been some time since you asked this question, but for some reason I am not getting the e-mails as I should.
At any rate, the college credits MUST be from an accredited institution, no online courses, no correspondence…"
Jim C replied to David B's discussion WINTR in the group Ask a Recruiter"Just an update on my daughter. The recruiters did get her contract changed to CTT with a ship date in August. Just what she wanted. I know sometimes recruiters get a bad rap but, the recruiters we've dealt with have been nothing short of…"
E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin replied to David B's discussion Navy----To long to wait! in the group Ask A Question"David,
I believe they have a chance to back out all the way up to the morning of leaving MEPS for the airport to boot camp. I think they sign their final papers that morning. You might want to ask a recruiter in their group though, they know a lot…"

Navy----To long to wait!
Since I have been reading about some of the kids waiting so long for a school to open up, What if they changed their minds at MEPS for another branch. Let's say the Air Force had a opening. Same job less waiting than Navy.Would they be badgered if they switched? By David BSee More

- David, Welcome Aboard!
My son is an ABE aboard the USS Ronald Reagan in San Diego, Ca. and my family and I couldn't be prouder of him. When he first enlisted I found NavyForMoms in searching for answers to my son's future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads like n4m's but I was wrong. So I started this site so us dads would also have a place to call home. I'm new at this and I hope this site will benefit Navy families that follow behind me. So jump right in share concerns, join groups, share info, and learn about the Navy. I hope this site benefits you and your family in your daughters decision in joining the Navy. Thank Natalie for her soon to be service and for yours as well. Thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, E.G.

- Welcome to NavyDads David! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun, useful, and educational as I have. Explore the site and make some friends, add your comments to a discussion or two, read the postings in the various groups-- even start one or two. I certainly have! If you have any questions or concerns about your sailor and what she will be going through...ask! I'm sure someone here will have the answer or can point you in the right direction to find out. I'm lucky enough to have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM3) returned spring '09 from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) is about to complete her five-year enlistment on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And David this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Natalie is doing! We do ask that you remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors in mind at all times. On the right side of every NavyDads page is an area we call About This Site. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link and the NavyDads Guidelines link.
As a parent of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your daughter is going through. In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called A MUST READ for all New Navy Parents. Take a few minutes to read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your sailor is learning and why. And be sure to check out the videos as they address many of your questions and concerns.
As PIR draws closer, be sure to spend some time going through the PIR-Tips, Hints and Helps group- we’ve tried to assemble some tips and suggestions to make your sailor's PIR more enjoyable. Best Regards- Paul
