USNmom2017 I'll ask my sailor when I talk to him tonight - I'm thinking there's probably some kind of housing there, but not sure if they can use it for while going to A school or not.

Hello all! Happy Memorial Day and thank you and your sailors for your service and dedication to our country!
Today is a great day! My son arrived at NAS last night and said he had the best 8 hours of sleep he's had in 2.5 months :) he has one room mate and the room seems spacious with 2 desks and 2 dressers that I could see in pics! There are 3 beds but so far it's just the 2 guys. He's been texting off and on all day which is the absolute best thing in the world right now. They toured the grounds and shopped at the NEX so far. He was able to check in unlimited bags and carry on 2 so everything I took him went with him! I'm going to need alot of your wonderful support for the next year or so! His rating is AE for sure. Does this mean he goes to C school after for sure?

Proud Navy Mom ~ there is another group on this site that's more active and will have people available to answer your questions...it's listed as Sailors in Pensacola, FL for A School and Corry Station too...good luck! My son's already finished his A school there and at his base in Whidbey Island WA but I still follow these few sites...He'll love P-cola and I hope that you get to visit as it's a beautiful area..

My son will PIR on May 13th then leave for A school in Pensacola. We haven't really been told much. He was told there are 3 areas he could be assigned to. We won't know until end of BC. Does anyone on here know if he will leave GL the next morning?? Will we get to see him before he leaves?? Any support or info is much appreciated!
