Comment by Laura on March 11, 2014 at 3:04am: Hello all! Just popped in to say "Hello".

My sailor is out there on deployment, (again) floating around on the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN77). At least this time he is on the newest carrier instead of the oldest one!

I hope that everyone is happy and healthy!

Comment by GregsMom on March 10, 2014 at 1:18pm: I have a question regarding IS NAP reserve rating. Are there any other moms out there who's Sailor has been down this career track? I would like to PM someone about this. I am very worried about my son. HELP!

Comment by GracieG (Ship02 Div922 PIR 4/11) on March 6, 2014 at 4:48pm: Thank you Mary(Chris' mom)for the words of encouragement.

Comment by BarbRags on March 6, 2014 at 4:10pm: The new page layout is horrible

Comment by Kim on March 6, 2014 at 1:15pm: Yes, Mary, I liked it when you could only see the group you were signed in to!

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on March 6, 2014 at 9:41am: Does anyone else find this new page format a little jumbled looking? It will take some time to adjust......

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on March 6, 2014 at 9:39am: GracieG, Thank you and welcome aboard! We are glad to see our IS Moms community growing! Bootcamp will be some of the toughest weeks you will endure. Hang in there and you will be so proud of the man he becomes over the next several months. We are here for you!

Comment by GracieG (Ship02 Div922 PIR 4/11) on March 6, 2014 at 12:47am: My son is in Boot Camp PIR 4/11/14. He will then be transferred to IS. Im both proud and excited. Mary (Chris' mom) your information was very helpful. Thank you.

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on February 14, 2014 at 9:42am: Supporters of KayleeN, Welcome! Some of the info in the discussion above "Now your sailor is at Dam Neck" is outdated but will help you understand just a bit. They are still allowed to have electronics, and parents are still posting that they can have their cars. My son had to phase up to be able to take his car there but it was only a few weeks after he arrived. The schools may run back to back or there might be a few months between A school and C school. They will remain stationed at DN all through that time. A school is approximately 13 weeks long and then the C school varies by the specialty. She could be there for around 5 months to possibly close to a year. It is considered as part of her enlistment time and she is safe so the longer she is there, possibly the better.

Once she has phased up she will have plenty of opportunities to leave the base for the evening or the entire weekend. I know one officer who was a Corpsman for several years and then changed over to IS. He loves the IS field. She can go back and ask again later about the Corpsman area if that is what she really prefers. She is under no obligation until she signs her contract and is sworn in. Maybe in two months they will show something coming open in her field of choice. I think she would do great in the IS field but keeping your options open is a good thing.

Comment by Biggest supporters of Kaylee N! on February 14, 2014 at 9:18am: Hello all.....I am new to this site and the Navy altogether....our 18 yo daughter just enlisted this week on the delayed entry program and wanted to get a job into the medical field but none was available and she ended in IS....we have no idea what to expect at all! A and C school from what I can figure out are back to back....is this true? Are they allowed to have cars while in school?? Do you suggest having a car?? How much are they allowed "out" while in school as we want to plan to head up to Dam Neck during Christmas time?? Any and all info you have would be helpful....thanks in advance!!
