Ohh he is very excited about the undesignated job ~ it can be a adventure of learning different rates, and choosing what end's up suiting you best. My son went in as undesignated with eyes wide open, and loves that the Navy allowed him to join. Then…

Molly, you will love Japan, I'm so glad you can go for the trip! And no, there's nothing wrong with being undesignated, it does provide options unavailable anywhere else. I hope he finds exactly what suits him best! Skype is an amazing invention, I…

Miltary gurl... I am ex-Navy, I was an ET1. I KNOW what undesignated means, I had a couple of strikers working for me. I don't know of any A school which leaves a sailor undesignated upon graduation. Perhaps still an E-3 or below, but not undesignat…

Anti M ..... he will not have a rate undesignated is undesignated you go to the fleet with no exact job title which is actually the best way to go cause you get to see what everything is like and then decide what to strike for

He is very ready to move on and do what he has signed up to do. Hopefully he will have a great job selection when he arrives is Florida, since he i… Continue

Leaving in January for Japan

We found out after graduation on 11-25-09 that our son leaves for Japan the end of the January for 3 years on the George Washington, SO FAR AWAY!!!!!. I guess it is better than going to Iraq or Pakistan, but for 3 years. It is so hard to say good bye. :(

He does leave on 12-8-09 for Peniscola for A school. His job is still undetermined. I am wondering if because he is undesignated that that is why he is going to Japan!!

Anyone have any thoughts??????? Suggestions for good communication while a… Continue

Hi Chris,

Thanks so much for commenting on my blog. You should be getting his box any day I would think. I hear the contact info comes separately in a form letter. The emotional roller coaster is what is throwing me for a loop right now. But this site and women like you have been what is getting me through. I hope you find as much comfort here as I have been.

Hugs to you!
