Comment by Gingerman on April 3, 2012 at 3:30pm: Question:

Just saw an IS wearing blueberry bdus at a shopping center. Has there been a policy change on these uniforms to allow them off base?

Comment by Anna on March 20, 2012 at 7:54pm: Mary,

I understand what you mean. Chris had to fight tooth and nail to get people in his command to help him and sign off on his stuff. Now he wants to turn around and help the other sailors who are working on their pins. At least until he leaves there in August.

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on March 20, 2012 at 3:43pm: Anna, Congrats to Chris A! Chris M has been working on his pins for a while too. Maybe at his new assignment he will be able to accomplish them!

Comment by Anna on March 18, 2012 at 7:00pm: My son just earned his Intelligence Dominance Warfare pin to add to his Air Warfare pin!! Getting ready to reenlist for 6 more years and heading back to VA!!!

Comment by Lockhartgma on March 17, 2012 at 1:18am: We just found out my grandson is in going into the reserve IS field. While I am proud of him I am a little concerned - and confused about what that means so I am looking forward to reading everyone's comments and gleaning as much info as I can about what this in means in relations to how how long he will be gone from me!

Comment by Linda on March 14, 2012 at 4:05pm: I think it is 13 weeks

Comment by Clangsto on March 14, 2012 at 2:55pm: My SR has PIR 4/13. Does anyone know how many weeks A school is?

Comment by shadowcrzn(ship 2 Div 952) on March 14, 2012 at 2:04pm: Hi Linda, welcome to the group!

Comment by Linda on March 14, 2012 at 2:00pm: Hi Everyone!

I am new to this group a very excited to be a part of it.

Comment by Anna on March 6, 2012 at 4:14pm: Rebecca,

They won't find out until pretty much the end of A school. The instructors have to first make sure they will pass A school and also see what sub-specialty they might be well suited for. Also it then depends on what billets are available and what sub-specialties are needed to fill those billets. Always needs of the Navy comes first.
