Hi, My son's graduation was at 9am on a Friday in the Chapel on base. That was 2 years ago though so it might have changed. :)

Hey guys! I am wondering if any of you know what time and what day of the week CTR's "A" school graduation is? Also, did any of our sailors graduation date change on them?

Thanks for all the info, singingbird !  Yes, the Navy will send you where they need you to go.  I'm glad your son is doing well and likes being where he is. What is communication like with you when they are on a ship? mostly emails ?

Thank you so much, singingbird ! I'm hoping he will be able to have some time at home before he goes to his next station. They have filled out the "wish" list but my son said he had no idea if it plays any role in where they are actually sent. He is hoping for Colorado, but he said he'd heard it wasn't easy to be chosen to go to this location.. Anyone know if that is true? He's also hoping to be able to go to C school, but he'd heard they have several that are waiting to start classes.

Hi Everyone ! My son has a tentative graduation date of July 26th for CTR. I'm unable to attend his graduation and wondered if anyone else on this site would be attending and could get a photo or two for me ? I would really appreciate it. Very sad to not be there.

Sunshine--Thanks so much for your info.  Got everything booked last night.  Staying on Pensacola Beach.  Didn't have enough lead time to do a condo, but hopefully the hotel we are staying in will be great.  I will report back after our trip.  As usual N4M came through!  Thanks again!

Lady H - The ESWS has a lot more meaning. Most don't know that by getting that, you qualified at each station on the ship. It doesn't mean you know everything, but you can fill in and defend the ship better than someone that doesn't have one. This paid off real well when Iraq fire a missile which struck the USS Stark. It killed and wounded a bunch of sailors, but the ship maintained its battle readiness. If it weren't for sailors being ESWS qualified, we'd be screwed!

Hi, We visted our son 4 times while he was at Corry. I'll be happy to answer any questions.  We stayed at a condo in Perdido twice.  http://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals/usa/florida/north-west/main-no...  was were we found them. We stayed in the 2 bedroom with the big crab on the wall. The company gave us a discount in addition to the price listed. They gave us extras like dvds to rent and all. It is only a few minutes from Corry and even closer to the NAS back gate. We also stayed in a condo at P'cola Beach. That beach is prettier but also a lot more expensive. It is also further away. This place was nice, clean and very reasonable http://www.highseasinn.com
