My sailors rate is AE. He is in Pensacola for A school now. He has already done his prereq. classes for his rate, he is in phase 3, just waiting to class up.
Rus is in the Navy reserves-on active duty-full time support, he won't do weekends and the 2 weeks a year for the reserves..Rus will have to stay and do his 4 years.
This is what I get confused on. I guess I will just have to wait to see what happens. Thanks alot for the info.

Judy-Chris' mom- is your son on active duty? Navy recruiter said my son will be on active duty until his time is up or he reenlists.Just like a regular Navy person..

My son is still waiting to class up for A school. Do you mean he doesnt have any pick at all on where he is going? My son didn't get a money award..He is on active duty, is that what your son is on to? or he wants to go active duty? What is fmtb? what is cp or cl? how long has your son been in for? Where was his A school at?

Bobbi Ray, Hi...yes, I will tell you what I know. My cub is on his last week of testing for A school, then clinicals for 2 weeks. Although my sailor really wanted to be green(a marine) it wasn't in the cards due to a tattoo outline of a Iron cross which could be mistaken for a swastika on long portion of his side which he had it put there because he liked, not that he was ever in any clan. I have a beautiful looking (only)son who has never been in trouble with any authorities "he is a Good son" and I would not trade him for the World...okay, enough. I'm just sooohappy that he is on the down hill of these tests with a 90% average. But what I know is that he signed a 6 yr. contract with the Navy. the benefit is the money award is just the icing on the cake.He will receive it in increments throughout the contract.
He doesn't know where he will be stationed...back & forth on weather he will do FMTB at CP or CL, we are hoping that he will come home to Cali...that would make him 4 hrs. away from home, but he feels left out because everyone in his class picked orders(enlist men) that's the difference and he has yet to receive his orders. That is a real big difference he doesn't have the option to pick!! and Reservist are the first to go to war. But how well he scores on his testing phase is a real good inclination weather his contract would go enlistmen or not or go to C school or not.
Pretty much that's all that I have been able to understand about the Reservists...Sorry about the book...I'm just sooo Proud of him. It's been a long haul to get to this point in his journey...I only wish now that he has done so good in this field that he would continue...but he still wants to become an officer of the law...as was his Papa...35 yr.career in law enforcement...

Hi all. My sailor is in the Navy Reserves on active duty. What is the difference between this and being in the reg. Navy? He has went to bootcamp and right now is in Pensacola doing his prereq classes for A School. Then does he just go on to his duty station and spend his time? I am so confused. His recuiter told him that he would be straight land based, but Maybe that was just a lie. My sailors rate is AE. His PIR was 07/23. He is just waiting to class up for his A school, anything that anyone can tell me would be great. Thanks

hopeful-in-PC (ship 14 div 276) BS21 is all about using the skills you have been taught, working in a team to handle all challenges, and stay awake! Good team players help others proceed through BS21. I totally respect the RDCs that instill the importance of working as a team. Some moms have said, "They just have to stay awake!" I disagree. That is just a portion of the task at hand. You can expect your call anytime on Wednesday. Their call time depends on the RDCs' best time decision. My son's call came at 1014 (Eastern Standard). : ) ~ kk
