Hi all... haven't been on the site in a while, a lot going on around here. My son graduated A-school in August, and went to Japan in early September. He told me that he didn't get a choice at all, as we thought he would. The way he put it, he was 'deployed' to Japan. He gave more details, but I think those details are the kind that can't (or shouldn't) be posted. He has shore duty currently, but is supposed to be in Japan for three years... so I'm guessing he'll have sea duty before he's done there.

I agree with KYmom.. that is what my son said and he got his 3rd choice and was top in class. So he was very upset. He thinks it is really just based off of where they need them. But we really don't know anything for certain.

When they leave A school the person with the highest grade gets first choice and it goes down from there. If I understood correctly.

Does anybody know what the chances are of getting where you want to be stationed? Do you get one of your choices? Has anybody been stationed in Fort Worth Naval Air Station?

They will do 2 years of each.
My son got sea duty and is finishing up his 2nd year of sea duty. His next assignment will be shore duty.
But yes they have to reup inorder to go to C school.
Mine is extending his contract so he can do C school back in Biloxi.
They have him in forecasting school right now.

Hi Carol! My son Nick just finished A school and was home for 15 days! Yea! He left this past Thrus for Norfolk also. He also got shore duty and he really wanted ship. What he was told is that if he re-ups he will then get ship. And that is also what I was told by another Mom in the Colorado group. The tours alternate. I think C school comes if you re-up also. Nick said it is a 9 month program back in Biloxi. Hope that helps. So many questions we have! Have a wonderful weekend!

I have a question, since my son has been in norfolk(it's been one year), will he ever have to do sea duty on a ship? he said that he would like too sometime. he loves monitoring the weather patterns! also what happens when they go to C school? and when do they go to C school?
