that was quick on his C school orders.  my daughter is in A school for FC and we've heard there is about a 7 month hold on C school orders

Comment by magsmom on February 11, 2012 at 10:13am

My daughter is an FC still in A school, but am wondering how its decided what kind of system they will specialize in?  And does that determine where they might be deployed?  Inquiring minds!

Duhhuh - son graduated  A school last month. He is ET

Comment by jacqueline-rn on February 10, 2012 at 8:52pm

Last spring I posted on this site because my son was a DEPPER, had a contract for ACEF and had never applied himself in school. I was worried.  You all told me he'd do fine. You told me that he would grow up in the Navy.  You told me he would learn how to study and not just ace the test and squeak by as he had all the way through High School.  YOU WERE RIGHT!!!  Either that or he's been abducted by aliens and replaced by a robot.  He called earlier this week (he's doing ATT classes) and he was perturbed with himself because he hadn't done as well onhis last quiz as he wanted to and his grade had dropped....  From 93% to just over 90%!!! {Who are you and what have you done with my son???}  What's more he's really excitied about what he's doing and he has a thirst for achievement I thought was reserved for beating the next level on his X-box game.  I will never doubt anyone on the ACEF group again.  Thank you all!!!

odi, when did your son graduate A school?  is he ET or FC?

Comment by Odi_Ship09_Div140 on February 10, 2012 at 4:45pm

Thanks all. We are so pleased - but just hearing the excitement in his voice - talk about motivation!  He just was home 3 weeks over break so needs to save up his time. 

Comment by Vickyrun on February 10, 2012 at 11:37am

Odi, Congrats on the C school orders, sounds very interesting, hope your sailor likes it.

Chrissy is on her way home, sort of, gonna take about two months to get home. I thougth Navy ships were faster then that. Lol

Odi...congrats on your son's C school orders! Very cool indeed! Will he be able to come home before starting?

Comment by Anti M on February 9, 2012 at 3:37pm

I went to C school at Fort Gordon... in 1980!   

It is satcom, satellite communications.   I went for secure voice, but satcom is the newest communications system.  Very nice set of orders.  I even got to go to college at night there, earned my associates degree.  We couldn't study outside of school hours (it was all classified) so I was allowed to take classes.  I don't think they allow that now, but he should check it out.
