I've never heard of an A school ceremony worth attending (as a parent). Yes, we dressed in our dress whites/blues, but the whole affair was held in the rec room and it lasted about two minutes. They made a quick speech, gave us our orders and we lef…
Thanks for your posting. My son is graduating "A" school today Surface Sonar Tech in San Diego - 2nd in his class. I feel better knowing that it is a smaller affair in general than bootcamp grad. Still I wish I could be there, we live in NY. What an…
I had heard that it was very informal, but our son has told me that his rate is the only one that actually has a formal graduation ceremony. He's in Aviation Electronics and he said that they will have to dress in their dress whites and there are a…
Hello everyone! My son is graduating A School a week from today in Pensacola and I was wanting to see if those who have attended A School graduation have any suggestions or tips that would be helpful when attending. His father and I are going to att…

My son PIR'd 12/24 and we stayed at the Navy Lodge. It was clean and VERY close to base but a bit old, nothing extra. They did have really good coffee at all times in the lobby but that was it. REALLY basic but I think it was only $62.00 per nite. I…
Stephanie, you might want to ask about it because there were several people who were going in for one sailor when we were up there for our son's PIR. I know in the letter it says that they limit each recruit to 4 people, but they do let more in if y…
Hi everyone. I was just thinking I would let you all know about my son and what he did after PIR,..
He stayed up in GL until about 4 or 5 weeks ago when he went to Pensacola. He did the ATT training up in GL and will do the rest down there I guess.…
Karen, my stepson, Noah, is also doing PIR on 03/20/09. He is in Div134. Hope Amber is doing well, we TNer's should get together if we're anywhere near each other....Stephanie
Marianne, thanks for all the tips. As I am Noah's stepmother, I'm not on the list to go to the ceremony. I am so proud of him, and pray for him every day. We are staying on Naval Station Great Lakes, so hopefully, I will be able to just drive over a…
Thanks for the information. We will be going to PIR 3-20-09. I will have to print this out so that I will have it with me and not to forget anything.

Mary, Proud Mom of Nick said… - Hi Marianne, I wanted to welcome you to the AECF group! I've been out of town for a couple of weeks so I'm late in my welcomings. Is your son an Aviation ET? I was just looking at your groups and see that you are part of the California and Aviation groups, if Aaron is with Aviation rate, you probably won't want to hang out in AECF as it does not include Aviation - even if they are ETs. The schooling is totally different and A school is in GL and then C school varies. I just don't want the conversation in AECF to confuse you - it won't apply to Aaron if he is in California. If you have any questions that I can help with - please let me know.

nia said… - Oh, now I remember. For some reason we rarely went this direction. We all love hiking and usually go to NC for that.
Nice photos with your son.

- Also, do you know of any sailors who did not have someone come to the graduation? Must be pretty awful, I m assuming... what are these kids doing when others greet their families?

- Hi Marianne,
Just saw that you are from Smyrna, I m not sure right now where in TN that is (sorry). My son is from Knoxville, grad jan. 9. Not sure yet at if/how we can make it to the grad. How where the weather/road conditions when you went?

- The night it "snowed" in San Antonio my daughter came home and said she had the next morning off, businesses were closing due to freezing. Here we just shut down till it warms up again.

Mary from Cali said… - Hey Marianne....We were at the same PIR....my daughter was 010. Where is your son now? My girl is in Pensacola awaiting A-school...guess it's pretty backed up. She gets to come home for Christmas...how bout Aaron? Hey I noticed you live in Smyrna....I have thought about relocating there in the future. If you have time would you mind answering a few questions I have? How long have you lived there? Do you like it? Is it really cold in the winter (I'm a California girl lol). And...anything else you think I might be interested in. Well ... hope to hear from you. Take care and Happy Holidays

- I bet my son thought he was going to get out of the cold. Having snow and sleet here isn't what we're used to. Is your son warm yet?
