We look forward to hearing about your sailors journey. How he/she likes being an MAA (MA) and which kind of job they are doing and how you are doing knowing what your sailor does for a living.
NOTE: Please help keep our sailors safe. Don't give out exact locations.Example: If he/she is in Iraq you can say Iraq but I would not say the name of the camp or a town near the camp. If they are on a ship don't give the last known location. Although some of that is public we don't in anyway want to jeopardize them.

Comment by GoldenEmily 11 hours ago - Anybody get their orders today? Looks like my son will be going to Bangor, WA. He sounds really excited, but also a little afraid. This will be the farthest he has been from us 2,800 miles! YIKES.

kmorgan...pre-buds has nothing to do with MAA.... it is an entirely different school..
My son signed up for NAVY SEALS when he entered the Navy. He went to basic in GL, then he went to pre-buds....to begin his training. He got hurt, so he had to choose a different job in the Navy for 2 years. He chose MAA... so he left pre-buds & went to SA for MAA school.....
Barbara- I bet my sailor does know your sailor. Those guys were soo close in pre-buds... he still talks to a lot of them in GL...what PIR did you have & what division was your son in?
My sailor has only been in TX 3 weeks & I dont think he started class until about 2 weeks ago.
I will send you a friend request so we can exchange info & I can ask my son if he knows him.. I know 2 of his friends from pre-buds have came to TX also....

Comment by lemonelephant on November 23, 2009 at 1:03am - Trying for SEALS would have been a choice the sailor made before bootcamp. Some find that their choice doesn't work for them and see the detailer and make a change to a different rate either in BC or once they begin on the journey after BC(MA is one rate).

Comment by kmorgan on November 23, 2009 at 12:57am - are all maa candidates considered pre-buds? or only those who want to try and qualify for SEALS ? please educate me!!!

Comment by lemonelephant on November 23, 2009 at 12:45am
- BUDs is Basic Underwater Demolition training, which is part of the training for SEALS and pre-BUDS is the training required to qualify to go on.

Comment by Barbara - Very Proud of D on November 22, 2009 at 11:47pm - Our son just finished first week of MA school in SA. He was in pre-BUDS but chose to drop for the time being. He did choose MA and seems happy with his decision. SupermansMom I just bet they know each other. We are from Waycross GA. Depending on where he's assigned after SA we might go out for the graduation. He's hoping for Kings Bay and that would be great.

Comment by Kathy on November 22, 2009 at 5:25pm - I believe even if a sailor is stationed somewhere for a period of time, that does not mean they won't be deployed. example: our sailor is in Washington DC for three years, but that doesn't mean she won't or can't get deployed.
