ET Radar anyone?
Also what does the new fiscal year starting mean for us? That there will be more holds or less? Hubby says we probably won't leave IL till January 2011, but is that an over-exaggerated guess or possibly true because of the holidays?

Michelle, I can't answer any of your questions regarding ET stuff. I can guess that you probably won't get out of Great Lakes until after the holidays.LOL. My son is studying to be an FC and he was told that he won't get out of Great Lakes until January 2012. He started his schooling in late August of this year.
It seems as if our sailors are going to be at Great Lakes for ever!! -

Yeah we have an FC friend who said that he might not leave till March and he graduated ATT a month ago! But then we had an ET friend that left one month after she graduated.

Michelle, my daughter finished her A school in ET the middle of August. She is still on hold for her C school. She only put down on her dream sheet to go to Norfolk, no certain system. They are just now stating to get some orders out. She was also told that she could be there till Jan. 2011.

My husband is an ET and works on Air Traffic Control Radar, his C schools were both in Pensacola and last from August- December of 2009. When he picked his dream sheet he got to put down what base he wanted, and also what kind of ship he wanted to be on. We got our pick, Norfolk, and he is on an LHD.
I guess we got lucky, after he graduated A school he was only on hold for a month until we got to leave for Florida. =) -
