Yes Melissa, it's interesting that the phase levels are different on the Point Loma base. He was phase 2 which allowed him civilian leave in Great Lakes but he's not to phase 2 yet in SD. He was already working towards that this weekend. I've talk...
Thanks for that advice Melissa. Matt is landing in San Diego as I write this and I am leaving to visit with him on June 24th. I'm hopeful he'll be ablt to trade watch if he's assigned the weekend my daughter and I are there.
He was sooooooo excit...
My son finishes ATT school this week and ships out to San Diego on June 5th. He put in to come home for a week while on hold but wasn't allowed to. They told him he'd get time off after A school. He's fine with it because he was originally told he...
Melanie...I hope DJ get to go home. Matt also put in to come home the first week in June and it was denied. They told him leave would only be approved after his A School training in San Diego. He leaves on June 5th with classes beginning on June 8...
Matt called today with some GREAT news! He said he just got his orders to transfer to San Diego in 3 weeks....YIPPEE! I'm really happy for him and hopeful they won't change. I hope this is a sign that the others who are waiting will be going too!
April...I too am hopeful that your son leaves when told because if he does, the I'd expect my son, Melanie's and Karen's will too.
Melissa...I said just that same thing to Matt last night. If the Navy keeps holding their new sailors in Great Lake...
Hello everyone...I've been reading, keeping up but not commenting. I'm so glad everyone is doing so well. This is still such a wonderful place for support. I joined the STG group but they aren't nearly as active as all of you!
Matt is doing well ...
Matt is doing just that. He's hopeful to leave there as a 3rd Class Petty Officer. If he has to stay there, he's going to take as many classes as possible. Thanks for the insight Melissa.
I hope all of those waiting for STG school in San Diego get there very soon.
Melanie,
I've been talking with Matt daily and he doesn't hasn't received any information either. It seems so many A schools are on hold, it's very frustrating for these young sailors. He is really hopeful it will be soon but was told it may not ...
It was great to meet you all. We are still in Great Lakes...our plans went from Grad and Go after PIR to having Matt all weekend including overnight liberty with us. Incredible! His orders were changed from flying to San Diego immediately after gr...

- Joline,
DJ sounded disappointed also about being put on hold. He is very anxious to get his schooling started so he can come home for 14 days. Please keep me posted.

- Joline,
Thank you so much for the information about "A" school. At least you got to spend time with your son after graduation instead of him going straight to San Diego. I am sure that was a surprise!!! What division was Matt in? I know that DJ is very anxious to leave for San Diego and I have not talked to him today yet. I know there is not a lot they can tell us about their jobs either, but I cannot wait to visit him in San Diego. I do know he has a lot more liberty now that boot camp is over and he is happy about that.

kelly said… - Hello.... just curious. I received a call from Ryan when he arrived in Florida and now they're telling him he could have up to a 6 mos wait for school?? Why?? This is all new to me. He's sounds really bummed. I hope you enjoyed your time with your son and hope you had a safe trip home....

- I received pictures in the mail today!!!!! The division picture is very good of the whole group. Ryan is "AM" and going to Florida right after (grad and go)... can't believe it is here already. These two months went by fairly quickly don't you agree?

Donna said… - Hi Joline, Nice to meet you. My son is also Matt. His venture as STG has been a little different. Matt started in GL of ATT (basic training for STG) that was about 4 weeks. Then he was on hold for a few weeks, then finally off to SD. Where he was on hold again this time for a few months. Finally he started A-school. I have no idea what A-school is about as far as studies. He wouldn't give me any info. other then a lot of Math.(thats a Navy thing) That lasted about 6 wks. give or take. With all the holding Matt had I'm really not sure about the time frame. He has been in the Navy for One year and two months and he is still in school. Most don't take that long. He is now in C-school. Which he tells me will take him until mid-June, then opps. He is looking to be in school until around Aug. Some STG don't go to C-school I believe it depends on there testing scores. Some will go right to fleight after A-school. If your son is a grad-n-go they must have a class starting up right away. So thats a good thing. As far as class time. Matt had school both night and day. Day classes went 7 to 3 then back for study from 5 to 6. With lunch breaks. Weekends off. Unless they had guard duty. Night classes were 3 to 11, with dinner brake. I'm sure they have study time in there somewhere. If they score below an 80 on their test they have mantiory study. But Matt away went to study. He figuard that is what he was there for so he studied ever chance he got. They can't take there books out of the class so all work and studies is in one building. Okay I rambled enough.
So if you plan a trip, go on the weekend or holiday time. They do get holidays off. Matt did have a week off between A and C school. But that isn't alway true for everyone. Sad to say time will very for every sailor. Classes start different times, some are on hold until a class opens up. Your son will know his schedule better then anyone. Keep in touch.

Paula L ~ James (AA) Mom said… - Thank you Joline! I will call the recruiter on Monday. I've also gotten some great tips on BootCampMoms group here on NfM. Printing up address and return labels was one idea I thought was brilliant! One mom sent an elastic so her son could keep the letters bundled up and pass inspections easier. It's been a great resource!
