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.

He should be able to get Sea duty after his shore duty is up.
But depending upon how they assign him how much sea time he will get combined with his time left on contract and if he is strictly assigned to a ship or assigned to SGOT. I am assuming they assign some strictly to a ship and not SGOT - from some different things that have been said.
Mine was put to a ship and went out with it on all the trials for a couple of month's and then deployed with it. Now it is dry docked and he has went out with another ship for a bout 4 days but that has been it.
So depending upon how it falls when he gets to that point. LOL..
But they say AG's spend 60% of their time on ship.

Hi Chris,

It's time for all of us to get together again. We are going to meet Saturday, August 29. I placed a discussion out there a while back, but with summer and busy schedules there weren’t too many responses. With that in mind, I am going to invite all who are interested to my home and we’ll BBQ and pack boxes and just catch up on our Sailors. I don’t know that I have all of the Colorado Moms on my email, so please feel free to pass this along to any on your friends list. As always the more the merrier. My address is 12165 W. 85th Avenue Arvada, CO 80005 303-463-8912 (home) 303-982-0590 (work). Please go to the event page and RSVP if you are coming.

Molly’s Adopt-A-Sailors have adopted the USS CROMMELIN. The USS Crommelin is a frigate and the home to 252 of our sailors. They are based out of Hawaii and are currently on deployment. There are 250 males and 2 females aboard.
And, not only are they happy about us adopting them, they are ecstatic!
They will be half-way through deployment about mid-September, so we are going to help them celebrate with a HAWAIIAN LUAU. Let’s show our Colorado Love.

Check out Molly’s Adopt-A-Sailor site for more details. The discussion link is August 09.

Hope to see lots of your smiling faces 

Hi Chris,
I'm rarely on the NFM site but found another new group to join "Aviation Rescue Swimmers". Matt left GL last Tuesday to go to Pensacola FL for his next bit of training. More intense training in the water and jumping out of helicopters. He received his orders a few weeks ago. After Pensacola, he will be stationed in San Diego as his land address but will be assigned to the USS Nimitz for a total of 3 years - I think 6 months at a time. I'm just amazed at the things he is learning.

How are you and where is Nick? How is he doing?

Hey Chris! I am from Golden. My son just had PIR on Friday the 10th. What a great time! He is now in Pensacola for A school. Are you on the Colorado Moms site also? We have 18 inches already and it is still a real blizzard here!

Hi Chris, My son just started A school in Biloxi. His PIR was 2/27/09. Good luck to you and your son -- keep in touch and let me know how everything goes. This Web site is great for getting to know what's going on in each phase of our Navy kids' journey!
