PattieO,
She in A School and will be graduating on Friday in Fort Lee. she hasn't said anything about attending C schooling, what is C schooling?
Online Courses she wants to take but not in CS, and not sure if the navy will pay for her to take online courses. if it's not in her job or can she take courses in any field?
Thanks

My Sailor daughter also just graduated RTC on 11/2/12 and is going to CS A school. From our understanding she stays in GL and will begin A school on 11/12 staying in GL at least through 11/24 before moving on to Fort Lee...are you hearing this as well or have you heard differently? There's so much misinformation so I figure we could compare notes.
As far as the online college classes, I'm interested in finding out the same. Her recruiter had told her it wouldn't be a problem but she is now convinced she was m isled as she is now being told that she has to serve at least two years before the Navy will pay for any classes. Now this has yet to be confirmed and I don't know if this also applies to courses taken in a field relevant to her rate. I'm following this post and I hope we can get a clear answer on this. Please feel free to friend me and keep me posted with what you find out. -

Thanks for the friend request,
I haven't heard anything else regarding school, she's kind of discourged right now about the online classes. Her recruiter here told her the samethings, she said mom they all lied. I told her to hang in there and it will get better, just stay focus and trust in the Lord. Hopefully someone will read our post and help us or give us a better understanding.
Thanks again and best wishes to your sailor.

My daughter also just graduated 11.2 at GL. She is held over there waiting on a class. She told me this coming weekend she would leave for FT. Lee. She should be there 55 days, then not sure where after that.

Congrats Midgett,
Yes they have to wait for class to fill up, she might be on hold in VA. my sailor was on hold a week in GL and then a week in VA. she just graduated and now on hold again for her next station. I'm trying to get use to the navy way, it's hard. They give them ideals on how or when they will start class or their next station, but things changes. Just be prepare.
