Our SR will be graduating  3/11/11 and will go to A school in Pensacola, but not for avia. Mech.  Do you know what day they leave Great Lakes for Pensacola?

 

i heard that they are leaving on saturday 3/12. my son has not confirmed this for me, but he mentioned it to his girlfriend. in my last letter to him i asked him for his travel information.hopefully i will hear back from him with the plans prior to PIR.
We have an SR graduating 03-11-2011 going to A school in Pensacola training for ABH I hope they are not the grad and go's.  we are ship 12 Div 098 also!!
My son is also going into aviation mechanics in Pensacola. He is Ship 12 Division 095.
My son called and ships out Sat 3\12\2011 at 4:00 for Pensacola AV\AT  Ship 12 Div 095

I haven't heard any details about when they leave GL.  Does anyone know how long A-school will last? And when A-school graduation cermony might be?

Also, what determines if they continue into C-School?

Thanks so much.

Emma -- My son is going to C school from P'cola to Norfolk.  Based on what you just said, he has earned the NEC.  By having this does the pay increase?  I asked because my son notice he received more that what has normally gets and is not sure why?  He's not complaining...he just wanted to know why his pay increased.

My SR is 3/11/11 grad and go to Pensacola;  he told me that he's almost positive they leave that day.

Would that be all recruits going to Pensacola or only those from the 900 Div?

Should my recruit know if he is grad and go? I recieve mail almost every other day..

Thanks so much.
