My son Cooper heads to Bahrain as a MA after the first of the year. I think I understand that he has 2 different trainings here in the Stae Side? Do they send him and then bring him back? if so does the Navy pay for the trips for training? he has already been to Waukegan and is now in San Antonio. So, what next? He thinks he gets leave out of San Antonio 12-16-11 thru. 12-22-11. Does that usually happen?

Hello! My daughter is in San Antonio as well and leaves for Bahrain after the first of the year. She is coming home from Dec 22 to the 29 then back to Tx to finish A school. Then home for a short bit then onto Bahrain. Her last name is Wilson I bet they know each other. Would be nice to chat with another mom that has a child going to the same place.

My daughter has been in Bahrain since January, she is a MA Security Forces. It has taken her some getting used to, being so far from home, but she is getting in the groove of it now.

Hi - My name is Catherine and my son is Adam. He is just finishing up his training as Master at Arms in San Antonio. He should be able to come home for a visit and then will be shipping out to Bahrain. I must say, I have been nervous about this. I was hoping he would stay clear of the Middle East region. Unfortunately, he wanted this. It is nice to connect with others who have a son/daughter there as well. I also feel a bit better after reading the information on this page.
