I just remembered that there's a write up somewhere here regarding classing up. I haven't had time to look for it but the class numbers are based on dates the class starts. For example, the 11 in 1132 stands for 2011 fiscal year (fiscal year runs from Oct 1 to Sept 30). The second set of numbers, 32, stands for the week of the fiscal year which should have started this week. (So I don't understand why he's in 1132 since he hasn't started yet?) The letter A in 1132A is for MMs. EM or ETs have MT after the numbers, eg 1132MT.
I heard from another nuke mom whose son PIRed at the same time and her son gave her the same class number so maybe I'm just counting the weeks wrong? Tho' I still have to hear of an official start of the classes.

Maddie,
thanks for the info on "classing up". With all the talk about Captain's mast I had to look that up, too on
www.navy.mil so I could understand a little more! Hoping there are very few that have to go through that!
I feel like a new "baby" in this nuke field. I have so many questions and with everything I learn, I realize how much I don't know! Guess I'm supposed to stay humble, eh???

Hey Maddie. I just wanted to say that I'm not so sure the last two numbers stand for which fiscal week it is. I know the 11 stands for the fiscal year, but Aaron started Power School the first week in November and was Power School class 1101, and he just started prototype Monday and he's class 1101. I think the last two numbers are more of how many classes have already gone through (kind of like they do the division numbers in bootcamp)-- And since they start a new A school class almost every week, it could just be a coincidence that the numbers are that close to the fiscal weeks.

NF, your comments about week numbers, etc. made my head about spin right off. Does it really matter what class number they say they are in and what it represents? The main goal is to see if there are others in the same class number as yours and celebrate!!! That's about it. As for our sailors, they don't really care what number they are, just that they ARE.
My son in A-school was 1119-A - yup, a Machinist Mate. And there were only about four people in their class that were given vols for studying. That said, he still spent countless hours studying and doing homework to keep anywhere near the top of the class. In fact, the last week - just prior to the final test and comps - he spent close to 30 hours preparing for the finals. He did say that there were times that he only put in about 5 hours of study in a week as well.

My entire reply wasn't necessarily to you but, instead, a continuation of the blog thus far about studying. I am sure the other moms out there will appreciate my reply.

I see the rude responses were deleted but I will still say a final comment:
My gosh, Irene, loosen up. I simply made a comment stating that class numbers, while they have a meaning, so what....everybody on here has a different story on how they arrive at the number. In the end, as long as we know where to send their mail, does it matter? I don't know you, never saw you on here before and never commented to you before, but I would imagine that anybody watching this conversation will see a side of you that isn't very friendly - I know I sure have. In boot camp they teach our children to be a team, from day one all the way through to graduation - it would appear that you didn't quite get that part yet. We ARE a team of moms learning together, depending on each other for support and encouraging each other. No point in arguing over something stupid!!
My motives are, have been, and will continue to be, lifting up our sailors through boot camp, A-school, Power and Prototype. I have always been and will also continue to be a friend to those new moms on here that are behind my son in the pipeline and answering any questions they may have based solely on my experience as told through my son. At the same time, I look to those ahead of me in the pipeline for their knowledge so I know what to expect down the road and love that there are so many willing to share.

Penny, I'm not going to lie. You honestly just made my day. Thank you for putting into words what I couldn't without being an extremely rude person.
We're all here to help each other understand what our sailor's leave us in the dark about. There's no competition-- just moms (and girlfriends/fiancees/wives) coming together to bond over a similar situation.

I have no motives, NF Mom. Just here to get to know other moms and not get blasted for making a comment about class numbers.

It's so funny all this discussion about class numbers. Geez, it's like we don't have anything better to
do than figure that out! LOL...let's see..i still have a load of laundry in the washing machine at 9;37pm, dishes aren't done, child with special needs is still up watching a movie, and i don't think his teeth got brushed. I need to bring the garbage can in, turn off the pump to the pool, and holy crap! then there's all the worrying I need to do about my NUKE ET, and the other 2 adult children.
CAN I JUST SAY, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE NAVY MOMS!!! taking multi-tasking to a new frontier!!!
HUGS,
Swim4(your)life!!!
