My son said the same thing...he's being told he will be in P-cola for almost another year and a half....I was confused...but he said he thinks between A and C school he will be on hold for about 3 months. He keeps telling us that he's been told C school is between 6-9 months, but everything I've read and know about is that it's maybe a year...depending "on holds" and the holidays. He loses T-giving and Christmas...but still, that's not that much time. I guess when he is done, he is done and we will finally know. Hahaha...

Hi danagagirl - fancy meeting you here! LOL. It's nice that our boys were together in BC and will be together at Corry Station too.

My son graduates boot camp on Nov 10 and will arrive in Pensacola Nov 11. Any words of advice would be appreciated as this is all new. His brother went through bootcamp and his A schools, so I know most of it,but he is a different rank. Just wondering how this IT side works...thanks to all.

Hey all, I'm new here and would love help! My son will be here on Saturday and told he was classing up on Monday. I have no idea anything else. So will this just be A school here? My son said it was 157 days long? Is this true? Any help is appreciated!

Hi Kathy
My son is currently in C school. It is very fast paced compared to A school from what I understand. Is your son in A school there ?

hello, my daughter just arrived on Saturday. I am in the process of sending her a care package consisting of shoes, clothes and some of her favorite snacks. My question is- Am I allowed to send things like this? I cannot find any info on this.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, L
