Do you even know when his training starts? It could take weeks for him to even class up. Hurry up and wait, that's the Navy way.

He just arrived in Texas last night. I was just wondering if there was a site that listed future graduation dates.

No, as A school graduation is nothing like PIR. Not really worth attending in most cases. The classes are so much smaller, and the start dates vary a lot more as they must wait until there are enough students to class up. The 45 days are seat time, not including the hold time before, or even after if they must wait for orders.
I wouldn't bet on him being home for the wedding, but fingers crossed!

Sorry, there is no site that lists future graduation dates.
There is no way to predict the graduation date if you don't know when the class starts. Things don't come together until: 1) There are enough students to fill a classroom. 2) There is an open classroom and 3) There is an available training staff. Then training starts and you can begin counting 45 days. Then graduation. Then, possibly, waiting for orders. Frustrating when you are trying to make plans,
In the Navy things happen when they happen, not on a predictable schedule like boot camp. Welcome to the fleet!

Thank you both! I guess it's wishful thinking on my part! But I'm keeping a little hope that it will work out! Lol

Momof467 i was just reading that a school is about 9 weeks or 7 once he classes up (meaning started class) some recruits don't start classes right away it takes them up to two weeks to start. Hope it helps

Thanks kevsmom. Unfortunately he called me and told me that he wouldn't be graduating A school until July 6th which is 5 days after his brothers wedding so obviously he won't be able to make the wedding. its bitter sweet for me. As much as I was disappointed I am so proud of him and happy that he is happy. I'm looking forward to having him home for the 10 days before he goes to his next destination (not sure where as he hasn't gotten his orders yet). I'm so proud to be a sailors mom and proud of all these women and men.

Oh no! The only thing i can say is that he is doing something for himself and the hard work will pay off.
