Good Morn...
For the sailor that joined the Navy to see the world, he'll be 6.5 hours drive from home....... :) When he picked orders there were no overseas orders which is what he wanted but is so excited to be at Pt Mugu with the Seahawks...:)

BeachBunny - hope you don't think I was ignoring you. My youngen wanted to get to school early so I had to stop my post short and get. Glad your son had a nice trip home I know you definitely enjoyed having him there! When he gets to Pt Mugu how close will he be to you? Nice to hear all is going well for him.
Hope everyone has a great week!

Welcome LoriJa!
How long they wait to class up is a million dollar question! Some class up right away others wait months. My son (ATI) spent 6 months in P'cola. Don't worry too much about your daughters math skills her friends will get her thru it. I've noticed thru my son that sailors form a very strong bond and are always there to help each other out. My son said that during his A school if you didn't pass a test sometimes you were given a second chance to retake it but sometimes they would hold you back and you would continue on with the class behind you. Always up to the instructor. My sons roommate got held back 3 times and I know my son was trying to help him and my son hadn't even classed up yet! Kinda gave him a heads up on what to expect though! As long as your daughter studies she'll be fine - she may even surprise you as to how well she does. Best of luck to her!

Thanks for the prompt reply, BeachBunny! appreciate it. I will checkout the Pensacola site as well. I'm so glad to hear that they have tutoring, in case she needs it. I don't think she'll mind the wait, she's just glad to be there and out of Boot Camp! LOL She's super happy to have her cell phone and laptop back, and loving the fact that a large portion of her Division went to Pensacola with her! :)

LoriJa-welcome to AT---my sailor just grad Pcola and is in Norfolk starting C school next week....hold times in Pcola have been the norm for awhile, she really won't know until right before class but 2 months seem pretty common....there's plenty for her to "have" to do with barracks support, watch, duty rotation (for 3 days every 4th weekend) and many muster calls while waiting to class up.. ATI seems to be taking around 9 months to finish some are taking longer....You're right ATI has a lot of math and formula, there is tutoring available and some students have been given extra time to finish STRAN training...she'll have to do AWAT, ATT first so there's math in those course that will help her get ready for ATI....there's some moms on the Pcola group that could probably help you since their sailors are still at NAS......my sailors was there for 7 months for ATO....

Hi everyone! My daughter just graduated from Boot Camp and has arrived in Pensacola over the weekend to wait for ATI school to start. I thought she was going to be an AE, but evidently she is going to ATI school. What is the difference? I'm a little worried, because math is not her strongest subject.I mean, she did OK, but not great. She went up through Algebra II and got A's and B's, but never got into calculus. She's nervous too. What happens if she does not do well in this program? Will they place her in another school? Also, she's not sure when her class will start. How long did your loved one's wait for school, or did they have to wait?

Happy Monday Ladies!
Sherrill - CONGRATULATIONS on the new grandbaby to be! Hugs to you both on the exciting news but also for Micah. Our pets are part of the family and very hard to let them go. Glad your Sailor is so much closer to home and you're able to make the visits. I'm sure the birthday boy will be happy to see you. It's gonna be doubly hard to keep you away once the new baby arrives....you may have to move to Norfolk!
BeachBunny - Your Sailor is graduating Top of his Class today CONGRATULATIONS & HOOYAH to both of you!!!!! Will he be coming home to visit before starting C school?
Cindyloohoo - Yeah for classing up!
