Chris called, he said he had turned off the ringer for chow hall and forgot to turn it back on. I was calling/texting him after class but he didn't look at his phone.
He said he is in CORE now and is out of class at 4 pm each day, so he has time off from 4 until muster at 8:30.
Is CORE the same as indoc, or is it a separate class? I started to ask today but got distracted.

cell phones ~ juni & Susan R - Your guys said it! Those cells phones are stowed away in their rooms, etc. Not on duty - not in the building - and you better not be caught with it to your ear walking on base. No walking & talking - right? We patiently wait for any calls or text messages. Also, we do not bug him with calls or text messages during the week. : ) ~ kk

deanneCA-Ship 07-Div 104 ~ Yes, if they have classed up - they have started classes, or will in a very very short time ~ lol. i.e notified for sure! They do not always get much notice of their start date. My son expected a several month wait. He returned to Corry Station from his holiday, and started classes within a week. In addition, prior to classing up they have their badging process (security clearances). So others may be starting a class, but others are in a hold period waiting for their badging. ~ : ) kk

CT's can't have their phones on them in the building at all. It is a security issue.

Chris has his phone now. He called me once and I couldn't talk (at work), I told him I would call back when I was free. He's not answering my calls or texts, and I know his phone is on because it is ringing four times, not going to message right away.
I don't even know if he's still in indoc or if he has started classes. All I want is a little bit of simple information (a basic daily schedule so I know when to call, and when not to)! He's going to be an IT, I want him to give me some Information using his Technology!

"Class up" means a large group is ready to start training together, the first day of class together. Sometimes there aren't enough
IT is different, it is a self-paced, computer-based course, not unlike a college correspondence course. As I understand it they "class up" every week, whichever students have finished Indoc and have their clearance start that week. They also graduate as they finish the program.
CT students have a more traditional classroom experience, and have to wait until there are enough students ready to start school to "class up." some are unlucky and arrive just after a group has classed up and has to wait (weeks to months) while others arrive just in time to fill the last spot in a class.

Clearly Chris did not manage to pick up his phone today. Maybe tomorrow. I can't imagine why he isn't calling from the pay phone every 2 minutes to ask where his package is. He called every day Monday through Friday. The only thing that could keep him from calling is *gasp* Dungeons & Dragons. If he discovered the D&D group we may never hear from him again, LOL.

deanneCA-Ship 07-Div 104 ~ He will find a nice base too! There is a lot of activity at Corry Station. Once they are settled in (they make many walking trips to the NEX - because they can - lol ), they find their niche; whether it be working out, movies, going to the mall, video games, chess, card games, racketball, cleaning, laundry - you name it! He will also have his jobs/duties, until he classes up. If you do not hear from him as much as you think you should the first couple of weeks, they form their Corry Station family. They have been through a lot - maybe not together - but they have had common/like experiences. Tell him to make sure he gets to Firehouse Subs when he is allowed off base : ) ~ kk
