Robin, I'm curious - what rate is your son. It sounds like he is in GL for a long time like our son. My son is also in the 3-12pm class with duty every 4th day. His class is due to finish this Friday and he is HOPING that he will be able to go directly to the ATT class on Monday without going on hold again. Is that the class your son will be taking? When did he PIR?
My guess is (and it is only a guess) the Navy knows their needs very far in advance. Although our sailors are on hold waiting for classes, I suspect that is built into their schedules and if he is due to complete A school in December - that will still happen. I believe they know exactly what day A school begins and our Sailors will know...when they need to!

My son is awaiting school for advanced electronics and that one is supposed to be for 19 weeks and his other class will be ( b or c) another 11 or 13 weeks, I just can't remember which one he got now. What do you mean by rate?? His PIR was April 18th and has the same exact duty time as your son does.

My son is scheduled to graduate from Corpsman school on July 3rd but has not received orders yet. Does anyone know if he will be able to come home for a while after the graduation if he is "on-hold", still awaiting orders?
