Debbie, your son is FC and no longer at GL? My son is just beginning the schools for FC. That was a change just after BC. We thought ET to begin with. Either one is OK with us. Is your son still enjoying that field? I am wondering what that qualifies them for after the Navy if he so desires to get out. Right now is is enjoying it all and saids he will be in for a long time. We live near several large Marine Corp Air Stations with many civilians working at these bases. My husband is former Navy and a civilian worker and saids the doors will be open for him. Thanks for all the information you provide on this group.

Mattsmomid - just an FYI you may want to go back and delete the public post with your son's last name on it. And the other ladies are correct, no news is good news. If something was amiss, you would have heard by now. Hang in there.

Margie, there is a another group on here (William's group) "Great Lakes A School Questions & Answers". It has lots of good information by some Moms that have been around for awhile.

A school info - I don't believe there is a certain date that you can count on. It was a day to day thing for my son. They were told school would be soon but not the exact date. I believe they attend ATT school first, then A school next. Then C school and other training according to what specific job they will be doing. One of the moms gave the exact days of each schooling several weeks ago. You might could go back and check that. My son has been told A school will be in GL but who knows. Their barracks go by ship names. Some go from BC to the Enterprise (temporaily) and then from there to their permanent ship. Seems like it has been a wait and see what is next. I am sure there is a good reason for all this and obviously we are not to know everything.

My son's PIR is this Wednesday 11/25. I have been reading these last few posts and I am thinking these ship names are all of their barracks? Does anyone know when the next A school begins? My son's friend PIR'd on 11/06 and he is also in AECF. I don't know his ship and he doesn't know when A school begins! Can't wait to get there :)

Sorry, but my son is on the Porter. I will ask if he knows your son. Just remember, "no news is good news". I realize that is very hard when you don't have any contact with your sailor. It want be long and you will know something.

Mattsmom-If he has been moved to the Cole, his duty days and all of the rules may have changed. Brandon just finished a watch, but he said he will try to find out some info for you, I'm sure if anything has happened like he was hurt or was in trouble, you would hear about it. Anyone else have a child on the Cole??????

Mattsmom-Just talked to my son, he said he probably has been moved to the
Cole, that he thinks all of the sailors from 11/30 have been moved. He is going to try to check for you and will be calling back if he can find out any info. Don't worry, I'm sure he's fine :)

We have really tried to call him. His girlfriend hasn't heard anything in over 10 days either. We've went on myspace and none of his friends here at home have been contacted either. It's just strange for him not to call me or his girlfriend.
thank you
