yes Christy, My daughter lacy just moved to the Wisconsin on Friday the 10th. She is listed now as an FC student. Shw was in Div 245.
Hi! Anyone on here have a sailor living in USS Wisconsin?
My daughter is an FC3, Aegis weapons in Norfolfk VA.
gmansmom - Logan graduated A school the Thur before Labor Day last year, he reported to C-school (CIWS) Feb 6. He was hoping for Aegis but is loving what he's doing so far.
gmansmom,
my daughter is FC. she graduated A school the first week of april and got her orders a few weeks ago (last week of july).
she's doing aegis in dahlgren, reported this past friday
Janice, Deb, Lisette: my son is also a FC & just graduated A school this past Fri (8/10/12). How long did yours have to wait for C school to start? My son told me he was putting his dream sheet in last Thurs for Aegis, FCS, & Tomohawk.
magsmom:He has said nothing about being told about that. When did your dtr graduate A school?
duhhuh & vickyrun: are your dtrs FC or ET?
Hi, R'sproudmom. What a coincidence - my closing yesterday was with a client whose three sons all went to the church camp in Garden City when they were younger and taught there, too. Until a couple of months ago when I met them, I didn't even know there was a church camp there :).
GoldnG8r - He will be on the Monterey, we were in the same PIR, different ship though ;-)
