Hi ladies, I'm sooo excited, our son should be finishing FC A school today... he says that he has the 2nd portion of ATT to complete and will get orders after finishing the first part. Does anyone know how long this part of ATT takes? Just curious. I know it's self paced...

Hi Kathryn ----- I'm not remembering if it is six or eight weeks left of ATT. I do know when he is down to his last two weeks, he will go for his orders and that is an exciting time. Our son graduated in December as an FC and is now at C school for Aegis.

hmmm.. anyone have any idea what the chances are for a C school in San Diego? Just curious... we'd LOVE to have him here... lol

Flip a coin, get out the weegie board (I know it's not spelled like that!) say eenie-meanie.........or just make a damn good guess, that would be about as scientific as our guess is for their C school location!
There may not be a single set of orders for SanDiego the week that your son goes to look at orders or ...there could be a boatload of them! There truly is no way of knowing what to expect until he walks into that room........but we will be keeping our fingers crossed for him! -

Thanks... he's supposed to pick sometime this coming week... sooooo, please keep your fingers crossed.... Thanks. He said they haven't passed out orders for a few weeks and the last time they did that, there were several for SD. He says there's only 3 people ahead of him to choose, 1 wants aegis (my son doesn't), 1 wants east coast (again, my son doesn't) so there's really only 1 that "matters" ahead of him. Also, if he gets school orders for the east coast, do they normally keep them on the east coast for PCS orders after C school?

My name is Kim and my son is Jonathan. He graduated boot camp Dec 1, 2007 during a blizzard. They marched in from outside and stopped to empty the snow out of their hats. He had alot of waiting between schools but he was deployed to Japan in March 2008. He is now serving on the USS Essex as an FC. He loves Japan but I hardly ever get to talk to him. I belong to a group for his ship. Some of the other kids communicate more so I feel more in touch with him through them.

Hi Kim, not only does Julie have a son in Japan - he is on the Essex as well and he is an FC too! You probably have met her in the Japan group but does she know your son is an FC - they must be working together!!

Hi everybody...I'm Mabel and my son is an ET aboard the USS The Sullivans, deployed right now. He has been in the Navy for 4 years now, but he did re enlist for 4 more years. We are from Rochester, NY. The Sullivans is his second ship, his first one was the JFKennedy, a carrier decommissioned on March 2007. This is his first deployment, he still has a little bit more than a month to come home, but his home now is Mayport, Fl. Soon I will see him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
