Comment by HvnlySno (S11, DIV 276) on August 28, 2011 at 10:13pm: Ruth - does this apply for reserves corpsmen as well? I would imagin they are trained the same...if not, he might be able to go back to his civilian job inbetween A school and going on to C school at CP. FMTB is only 40 days right? I'm still trying to get used to all the terminology! I am just trying to get a sense of it all. My Sailor has been told several different things and asked me to research this for him.

He at least (I think) knows what he's supposed to be doing...just the time frames and what his deployment status is going to be. We know he has to be top 10 in his class for FMF. But I'm not sure why. I understand why as active duty...but for a reservist my understanding is that you know where your going and have already made your choices. So a little confused on that point.

He should have just arrived at SA for A school, I know they have to class up and that might take a while. So when I was projecting the december graduation...it was just an estimate. The last CP C school class is already underway as far as I can tell (aug 1) so it's all so hard to sort out! I feel like I'm talking in circles now! LOL!

Thank you all for bearing with me and thanks Ruth for your experience and sharing it with me! Maybe if I break it down into small chunks I'll get a better understanding of what goes on! So, let's start with A school....I'll do my research and be back with better questions later! ;)

Comment by HvnlySno (S11, DIV 276) on August 25, 2011 at 6:24pm: Question: if my sailor graduates A school around the first week in December, he most likely will not go to CP until 1/2012 or later. It looks like they have a 2 month rotation cycle. We were tenativly planning a vacation in february. Maybe we need to look at moving it up during Christmas break? Does anyone have an idea?

Comment by HvnlySno (S11, DIV 276) on August 24, 2011 at 10:38am: Thanks Ruth for the shipping advice! My mother always sent cookies to our teachers...RDCs are no different!

Jess, glad to hear you are ok! Enjoy, relax, re-group on vacation. All will be well! I'm glad you bf was there for you!

Comment by Pam on August 22, 2011 at 3:01pm: Enjoy that vacation Jess! Sounds like you need a break. I've had my airbags deploy on me before and it's not the nicest feeling at all. I remember my knuckles were red (burned) from the dust/powder that comes out of them. My car at the time was a 2003, so they might have had the "old" type of bags. But still, glad your ok.

Comment by MrsS on August 22, 2011 at 2:57pm: Jess! So glad that you are ok. Now, you really need a vacation!

Comment by Joan F on August 22, 2011 at 2:03pm: Glad to hear you are ok. Have a great time on your vacation. My daughter now has furniture in her house, told her better have another bed as want to go down to see her soon. Now praying that the interview she went to will lead to a job as they could use the money.

Comment by jesspoo05 on August 20, 2011 at 4:46pm: thanks. and yeah he was at work. he had to come and pick me up from my work. it happened only 2 blocks from work so i walked back there to wait. and yes cars can be replaced!!

Comment by vettespace on August 20, 2011 at 2:48pm: Hey Jessepoo, glad that you'll be okay!!!!!! Enjoy the vacation! Cars can be replaced!

Comment by jesspoo05 on August 20, 2011 at 2:02pm: so sadly on thursday i got into a pretty nasty car accident. i am alright for the most part. sore and have a little cut on my hand from the air bag. but alright. it was the other persons fault and i am almost positive my car is totaled! i just hope it all works out really soon, so i can put this whole thing behind me. and we are going on our vacation in 6 days. i am happy for that. and it shouldn't mess up any of our vacation plans so it is good. i can't wait for it even more now!! it will give us time together and get to see family and friends and time for me to recover a little better. thought i would share. i was sooooo gald to be near my bf and that he is not deployed right now!!!

Comment by HvnlySno (S11, DIV 276) on August 13, 2011 at 5:26am: Great advice! I'm trying to kick a diet coke habit that itn't going too well! I'm sure things will take twice as long to ship from Alaska!! Oh, well...he's worth it!
