Just joined this group! My hubby will be an ET when he graduates A school in October 2010. So glad I read on this thread that we find out where C school is 2 weeks prior to graduation (usually lol). Hopefully we will find out his permanent duty station on that same day? Does that happen? I really want to enroll in a school where his permanent duty is and start maybe in January (Spring semester) I put my school on hold to move up here to GL because I figured we needed to spend as much time together that we can.

Michelle - often ETs will get their C school orders and their ship orders at the same time and if this is the case - you will know where your home will be for the next few years and probably be moved and able to enroll in school for January. Hope it all works out for you :-)

Thanks Mary! I hope it works out too. I really want to be a dentist and I know its going to be a really tough road with a navy hubby. I think I might apply to a school in Virginia just because it looks like most ETs go there. Couldn't hurt...except the loss of $40 :)

Aside from seeing my hubby, I really hate it here. I've tried getting a job but that never happened, so all I do is sit at home all day, clean, and make supper for hubby for when he gets home at midnight. Yeah he's in night school. Ask your hubby if he knows Corley! We live like 30 min away from base but I do have a roommate (She's a navy girlfriend but works alot). I just can't wait to get out of here and continue with school. I'm so bored here I'm going crazy.

My son also graduated A school 2 weeks ago ( August 20) and hasn't heard where he will be going or when. He told me that last week he went to check on the status of orders and was told then that they were still working on orders for people who graduated August 6. So it looks like it will still be a few weeks. I'm just hoping he gets to come home before he goes somewhere else. We haven't seen him since January 3 when he returned to GL from Christmas standdown.

My son got his orders this morning! C school in San Diego for 136 days then on to a carrier out of Virginia. He is so excited.

He is coming home for 8 days on the 21st and starts C school Oct. 1. He said he didn't get to choose orders, that is what he was given. I asked him how many people got orders this morning, but he hasn't answered me yet. I'm getting all this info via text, so I only get little bits at a time. Lol I hope you and your sailor get some news soon.

I think the 8 days does do come out of his leave time, but that's ok. He has enough to cover that and stand-down. I think he will still get to come home at Christmas. From what I have read the C schools observe the same schedule through the holidays as far a stand-down goes.
