He is tired of going to school and ready to get started in his job. He went to college for a year then left for boot camp and then finished his last semester of college in Florida before he started A school so he has been in Pensacola since the beginning of August '09. I am glad that he is there because it is close enough that we can go visit every couple of months but he is definitely ready to move on. They told him that he would be going on to C school but I guess that could change also.

Matts mom, my son was on hold in pcola after a school for almost a month and then went directly to the fleet on the Stennis, I guess not all go on to c school. He wasnt sure until his orders came through. Does Matt want c schooling or is he ready to get out into the fleet?
Comment by Matt's Mom/Cathy on June 9, 2010 at 10:07pm
I will probably be in the same situation as some of you before long. My son just graduated A school and is on hold in Pensacola waiting for C school orders. He requested WA because that is where is fiancee' is stationed so he will be about as far away as he can get from Texas if he is stationed there. He is also an ATI.

I'm heading out to Bremerton next month with his gf, she is moving out there, not really looking forward to the drive but can't wait to explore the area and definitely can't wait to see my son.
Comment by terbeasch on June 9, 2010 at 9:57pm
Cindy my Sailor is on the Stennis too, isnt Kent an ATI? I wonder if they know each other?
Comment by Matt's Mom/Cathy on June 1, 2010 at 10:04pm
Tam I don't know either. I know at first my son had AN in front of his name which was for Airman.
Comment by terbeasch on June 1, 2010 at 9:53pm

Comment by terbeasch on June 1, 2010 at 9:50pm
