A School Schedule
Does anyone know about the Nuke A school schedules? My daughter was supposed to go through PIR Dec 13th and start Jan 6th at South Carolina but she still hasn't passed her PFA (has to shave off 62 seconds) and is still at BC in the FIT program Ship 4 Div 2444. Are there classes starting regularly or even if she passes soon will she have to wait another week/month etc.. until one begins? I was just wondering because I have gotten a couple of letters but she doesn't mention any of this stuff only what she is thinking/feeling and trying not to give up.

New sailors arrive weekly after every PIR, and A school classes seem to start about every week, or every other week. She'll have 1-2 weeks of indoc when she gets to Goose Creek, and will then join the next forming class.

My son had PIR 12/06/13 and is still in a holding pattern at Nuke A school. I don't know when he starts his classes. While they are waiting at Goose Creek to start classes, they are janitors for the school. LOL. Whatever needs to be done, they get to do it.

Yes, NNPTC has been on stand down since 20 December until today. Assuming your son had indoc training when he first got there, he will probably class up this week or next. BTW, even when they are not waiting, they are still janitors, lol. My son just completed his first 17 weeks of joint ET/EM A school classes and said they had to strip and wax the floor of their classroom 4 times before leaving it for the next class; twice because they didn't strip off all the mistakes that were made by previous classes, and twice because it wasn't up to the standards of their SLPO. My son now can truly appreciate the effort that goes into a spotlessly clean and flawlessly waxed floor.

Hi all! Does anyone know how the mess with the cheating scandal at GC has impacted classes there, particularly for the new sailors?
-
-
-
My impression was that the scandal involved existing sailors getting recertified, but I could be wrong.
-
-
-
The sailors involved were instructors, or were being certified to become instructors. I believe it impacts prototype training, but if there is any disruption, it will likely ripple back through the pipeline. So far, I haven't heard anything about it from my sailor who graduates (hopefully) A school this Friday (taking his comp today.)
