Finally have internet back!! The service tech no showed 3 times and finally on 4th try showed up. Tawnie I spoke with Zach last night he said something about being done in the next week with BECC (which is only 6 weeks< I thought it was a 10 week course) but is unsure when HT school will begin. That course needs at least 4 people in it to begin. Have you heard same from your sailor? If so they may be done 1 month earlier than I was thinking.

Depends. Sorry my Internet is down and I'm using my so called smart phone that auto corrects incorrectly

That's what I was thinking...late October early November....I guess we will just have to be Navy strong and wait and see!!!!

I would like to try and make it to graduation as well. But will depend on when it is. I was thinking his A school will get done in November? I could be wrong.

hey JenniferP and Tawnie. when mine was up at GL for C school I was trying to find pictures. but came across this facebook page. I think it was the one that was putting up pictures of all the schools they have going and the "graduations" from them. www.facebook.com/TrainingSupportCenterGreatLakes?fref=ts&rf=894...
mine has said both A and C school grads are "no big ceremony/deal". Just hand them a certificate and take a picture and send them on their ways. The PIR WAS the big ceremony for them.
I went to neither but wish I had tried to get to his A school one. Good luck to both your sailors.

JenniferP, I know they were studying a lot on Sunday for a big test Monday. My son did tell me that I might not want to come to A school graduation because there were only like 5 of them in his graduating class (if that is how you say it). I was like whatever, I don't care, I just want to see your face!!!! No idea when graduation is yet.
