Isn't bravo shift 3 pm to 12:30 am? My son's school hours are that time. My husband worked 3rd shift when the boys were little so he told him to stay up as long as he can when he gets out of school and eventually his internal clock will change so his body can adjust to those hours.

OK, I think this is the right group. My son is in IT school in Corry Station and has been there since late August. Just got off the phone with him. Said he was on the bus and on his way to watch the Eagles/Cowboys football game somewhere! He still can't understand why the Eagles cut Tebow! But he did well in his final exam on Friday so his priorities are right. Still want him to find a good church for Sunday mornings but all I can do is encourage him. Just like he can find a place to watch the Eagles, he can find his church so I'll keep praying and encouraging him.

Our Sailor will be leaving Corry Station this Thurday and heading to Norfolk VA, IT on the USS George Washington. I have enjoyed this group and it has been very helpful for us. I am now looking for a Group for IT Navy Moms at Norfolk or on the George Washington, any info out there would be appreciated. Fair wind and following seas!

Hi everyone...my son is at Corry since the end of July. He started A school toward the end of August. IT seems to be a pretty tough curriculum, as he has done well so far till his finals which he passed but lower scores than the rest of his classes. Im still a little confused as to the status of him being reserve and those who continue onto C school. This is a learning experience for me as I have zero family in the military. I enjoy hearing from my son and love to see him growing into such a independent sailor.

Not sure if our son will be headed to Corry Station, he thought he was going to Pennsacola and should have arrived yesterday. He will be IT ATF (Advanced Tech Field we think) just wondering if any other folks out there know much about this route.

According to my son who is now is IT C school:
A+ is the first part. It is a 2 part certification. 801 and 802. Most people have the biggest challenge with this phase.
2nd part is CCNA (Routers and making them talk) 1 and MCP (welcome to Windows) (Cisco Certified Network Administrator and Microsoft Certified Professional i'm pretty sure)
3rd part is ILE (Interactive Learning Environment) It is all the radio parts that are military trained for ship and shore comms.
Hope this helps.
