Hello All
My son has started A School about two weeks now. I don't get to talk to him as often or as much as I would like to so I don't know what to expect. I would appreciate a heads-up on the what to expect. The last time I saw him was boot camp i…

Fleet Week looks like it's going to be so exciting. My sailor is still in Great Lakes Il. I don't want to go without him being there too, boo hoo.
Hello to all Navy moms,
The blue candle lighting is a wonderful way to say thank you to all of our men

God Bless America!

- Hi Cheryl,
I was browsing around and saw your message on the IC group. I am not a member of that particular IC group because I had already started a group for IC's back in Sept. I noticed that your question about A-School hadn't been answered, so I wanted to respond to it.
If your son is in A-School now, I'm assuming he's already completed SCC and ATT. The IC A-School will take about 35 days of classroom instuction. So, including the weekends, the class will take approx. 5-6 weeks. This class consists of more hands-on training where the sailors get to study and work on some of the same equipment they will have on the ships. I posted some information about what IC's do in their jobs on the other IC group page. Stop by the group when you have time and join us as a member if you like. You can find the group by looking on my page or just doing a search for IC groups, it should come up. I would be happy to share information with you if you have any questions. My son, Billy graduated A-School at the end of Feb. and is now in San Diego attending C-School.
