I don't believe there is a FB for IT, however when my son was at Corry station this site was just not very active so I joined the Pensacola and Corry too group. It is mainly aviation but there were moms from the IT side also. I meet some of my very favorite moms on that group. It was very active and fun.

He should phase up in a couple of weeks. then he can wear civie and go off base some. Does that help? As for Graduation I think your sailor will tell you.

hi, i am new here. my son arrived at corry station on the 5th of april. he finally classed up on the 15th. i have yet to find other IT mom's who know answers to my questions. to find other mom's who may have a sailor in the same class.
he has only been on duty once and does NOT have liberty. how can he do this so i can visit him soon? do we know a graduation date?
he gets really poor reception in his room so it makes it really hard to communicate.
any advise, help or answers would be much appreciated.

Sounds like you son and mine are on same time frame. He graduated A school June last year and came home on leave followed be leaving a week early to return to Norfolk and his ship that was deploying. He did not go to C school, it is my impression the wait there is not long. My sons recruiter told him to not do c school as he would learn what they learn there on the job anyway.
Graduation is not well attended but he did get photos. Mine got to fill out the dream sheet as he finished third in his class. The top three get to do this sometimes. He got his second choice.
He has been home from deployment since January back to Norfolk Feb. he has been in classes. So the training is continual throughout. He took classes on board during deployment also.

CO-TwinSailorsMom.. Thanks for the opportunity to ask questions. My son is still in IT A School and will follow up with C school in Pensacola, as well. Just a couple questions... Is there any typical time gap between A and C? Did anyone in your son's group get to choose their first stop after school? Is there any area that the majority get sent to after school? He's enjoying school so far and tests for 2nd certification this week. A graduation scheduled for last week of June, so lots of time and learning to go. Did your son talk about any specific area or certification that was much harder than the rest? Did you go to graduation or is it not that big of an event? Guess that's it for now. Thanks again...
