My son is an ABH1 and has been in for 16 years. Most likely if your sailor is an AB they will go to a carrier after Pensacola. Sea duty for AB is 5 years before rotating to shore duty. My son has been on two carriers ( East and West coast) and is finishing up his second shore duty. Once they reach the carrier the will probably be on the flight deck or hangar bay where they will go through a series of “quals” (qualifications). Average 7 month deployments. Any other guestions feel free to contact me.
I'm also new here. My son arrived in Pensacola yesterday for ABF "A" school. Anyone else?
I'm new here. My son is currently in BC for a rating if ABH. Can anyone share information or experiences with me?
anyone on here that is recent - all the feeds I see are from 2017
Hello All- My Son just left 2 days ago.. How's BC going so far?
Hi all~ My son ships to BC on Wednesday.. he will do A school for ABE after. I have read it's 5 weeks but wondering when he will find out where he'll be stationed?
MomL thank you for all the good information. I will bring his laptop I was thinking twice if I should but I will definitely bring it along with the clothes too. I'm going to suggest that shower, he loves long showers. Thank you again for all the help you have been a blessing to me. You have a great weekend.
HiMomL. Congrats on A school. A school is about 6 weeks long? Yep he is going to Pensacola. What time did his plane leave on Saturday after BC to Pensacola? I would love to stay with him at the airport until he leaves. Lots of questions. Did your son like the school training. Thank you!
