Greetings Andrew is now at the Marine Base Hawaii. He is attached to VP47 temporally as VP4 is in the Middle East. He likes the work, the people he works with and Hawaii. Transportation is an issue for him as he does not own a car. He is working through trying to get a car.

Good morning Sir. I am wondering if you also got an e-mail from Angie looking for some answers about her son. He is in Pensacola and she made it sound like he got into some sort of trouble on base and went AWOL for two weeks. He was arrested over Christmas and not even sure where he is now. I am telling you this because maybe you can help her out. The kid is only 18.

I have Andrew home this week!! The best part is the sense of completeness or maybe wholeness in the family. He looks great. He is satisfied and adjusted to Navy life.
He was a little bummed about Hawaii as a duty station at first, but now my impression is that he is eager to get through his C school in Whidbey Island and get to use his training to fix something.
Andrew was homeschooled all the way to High School graduation. He went to the military to get away from College. Now after seven months of training he is wondering just what he escaped from?
Another friend told me that VP-4 was good duty.

Greetings,
My son is finishing up a Pensacola. He is an AEAN and headed to Whidbey Island for C school on the P-3 Orions. He then heads for his first duty station. Patrol Squadron 4 at Marine Base Hawaii. Do you have any knowledge of that squadron?
THANKS

Thank you. I appreciate your time, Sailor Recruiter sir :)

Hi Sir!

My son is recently enlisted in the navy and will be leaving for bootcamp this late November! What can you advice prior to his bootcamp?

He was very confused before if what job he will choose among these jobs: Culinary Specialist (CS), Aviation Machinist Mate(AD) , and Personnnel Specialist (PS). What can you say about these jobs and what should he suppose to choose? But then it's up to him. For me any job in the Navy will do as long as they greatly and proudly served our country.

What are the jobs that has plenty rooms ffor advancement? If my son will gonna choose Personnel Specialis(PS), will there be many rooms for advancement for him?

Thanks Sir! Godbless

Dear Sir,
I have a question!

My son says "some" guys in his division are slacking off there at bootcamp. During battlestations are you "judged" individually or as a team?

NavyRecruiter Air, “Welcome Aboard”, I am glad you have joined us. I see that you have been looking around the site and have joined some groups. I know you will find help and some good friendships in those groups. Get involved in some discussions as well. If you would like start a discussion or group of your own. We love talking about our sailors here; we also are here to support and encourage each other. After all we are in this together. I have two sons and both of them are in the military. My youngest joined the Air Force over 4 years ago and my oldest joined the navy and is in Everett, WA. waiting for the USS Abraham Lincoln to come back into port. That is where he will be serving. Thank you for your service to this great country from an old Vietnam Vet. I have the utmost respect for recruiters of all the branches of service and the job that you do. Thank you for being there and finding the brave men and women to serve in the greatest Navy this world has ever seen.
