Hello All ! Its the beginning of a very interesting Journey ! I talked to my Sailor yesterday about how he likes MS so far and he says he loves it ! Loves the warm weather and the freedom, lol. He also says he havent started classes yet. Hmm, when will they start ? He also says he may be here for 25 days ? Does that mean he as a C school as well ? Soo many questions. Hopefully some of you wonderful people can help me out :)
Morning all, my sailor not sure when her YN class will start when I talked with her a few days ago. I know she is enjoying the green grass and the warm weather.
Hi Hoosiermamma! Yes me too!! Angelo is doing a lot of evening watch duties it seems this week..looking forward to him starting classes on Monday! Another anxious moment to when they will finish and the next duty station..
Hi Kat! Love the fact we are still together!!! Tom said YN will start 4/14.
HK Its hard to say if he is the first one there or the last one... there could be 5 others coming with him.You'll have to wait until he arrives.Yeoman is a great job, its clean and mostly inside.But once aboard ship he will have his share of what the Navy calls (cracken) To help out in other areas... like cleaning the galley or remove trash, maintain the head and so on... You must be getting ready for the trip to GL... He must be in battlestations...He will be calling you to let you know he has the Navy ball cap. I when my sailor called I cryed... I'm very happy for you PROUD NAVY MOM HawaiiKat CARRY ON
Hi RockenRobin! Yes, he has prescription as well as a supply of contact lenses he had prior to BC. He graduates this Friday 04/04/14..I'm so very excited!! Is there a wait to start school for YNs?
HK if your sailor has a doctors perscription YES...AS long as they don't interfere with duty (Like falling out) you can't leave your post to fix them. How was it for you sailor in BC? Did you get to go GL and watch your sailor march into the hall... was it cold, did you spend time after?We had lots of fun with ours... now we are going to our first homecoming. It will be AWESOME to see all the sailors standing on the deck of the ship... GO NAVY AND CARRY ON
Hello all! Are they allowed to wear contact lenses in A school?
What to expect(:Whats his rateing? some classes take 6/8/weeks or longer depending on the job.Meridian technical training center is out there( in the country) once in TPU like my earler comment said Fazeup for liberty. If sailors don't have watch on weekends they can go to town... Cab rides cost so they all pool there money. the cabs are minivans so they holds some sailors 5.00 up/5.00 back per sailor.WiFi on base to SKYPE cost 20.00 per month. I will think of more stuff later. Have to go for now CARRY ON
