<p>My son just started A school at Fort Sam Houston and hopefully will graduate on January 19th 2018. I would like to know if anyone has gone to the A school graduation, and if they did what to expect.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p><strong>Amphibious (Gator Navy)</strong> - <a href="http://navyformoms.ning.com/group/amphibious">http://navyformoms.ning.com/group/amphibious</a> Many corpsmen are assigned to amphibious assault ships, which are used to transport Marines. <a href="http://www.navy.mil/navydata/fact_display.asp?cid=4200&ct=4&tid=400" target="_blank">These ships</a> have extensive medical capabilities, for which they are often placed in service for <a href="http://www.cpf.navy.mil/pacific-partnership/" target="_blank">humanitarian aid</a> and <a href="http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=19855" target="_blank">disaster relief</a>. An LHD typically has at least 30 corpsmen assigned to it as ship's company, in addition to the corpsmen assigned to Marine units that may be onboard. There are also groups for individual LHDs, i.e. <a href="http://navyformoms.ning.com/group/ussiwojima" target="_self">USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7).</a></p>

<p>my corpsman has a labrum tear in his hips they are planning surgery for him within a few weeks very worried for him because he is really stressed he said. So I am think of flying there when or after his surgery just wondering if I am able to do so to help him out or in 2 mo he will be eligible for leave and just fly him home. I am sure he will be ok they do receive great medical attention, It is a waiting game he is still waing on the date for surgery.</p>

<p>My son graduates bootcamp Aug 2 and will head to Lackland in San Antonio after that. He plans on going green when he finishes Corpsmen requirements. All communication with him so far has been very positive on his end. It sets a first time mom's heart at ease. Everything I've read is "No news is good news!" but the limited communication is very difficult. </p>

<p>This site has been very helpful in many areas. Does anyone have any specific suggestions on what helped their SR the most for PIR weekend? I read all the info on how to plan for the morning, but not real sure what to expect after the ceremony. Thank you for any help.</p>
