Good news! My fiance got his "hard copy" today and he is definitely going to be on the carrier USS Stennis in WA state! :) He just has to go through 2 days of financial classes, so he thinks he'll be out of there by next Friday. Good luck to everyone waiting on their orders!

Nancy, his rate is his job. His rank would be E2. It can be confusing.
We live about 60 miles inland from San Diego. Will he be at Miramar? Or Pendelton?

Hi Juli! My fiance and I were planning on it but it was impossible to do so with their crazy class schedule, duties and all the restrictions. MS requires a blood test for Syphillis in which results take up to 2 weeks! that's standard.. then you apply for your license at the county clerk (20 min. from base) and they have a 3 day waiting period. they don't waive it for military unfortunately. also they are only open on weekdays 8-5pm. My fiance doesn't get out of class till 4:30 PM and he had to be Phase 2 in order for him to get out of the base. By the time he got to Phase 2, he had only a week left until he graduates. Oh and he also got his verbal orders his 2nd week of class. He is an LS. They get through the course pretty quickly. Some finish in 2 weeks! My fiance is actually taking his time and still he'll finish in 3-4 weeks. So yeah, now he's just waiting for his "hard copy" then he'll come home to our wedding before he reports to his duty station which is in Bremerton, WA :) Good luck to your son!

My fiance got his written orders yesterday too! Now he says he is waiting to be on an ?"outbound list"? and then they make his travel arrangements and he is able to leave. He is an SH. We are hoping that he is able to leave by Tuesday at the latest so he has a few days to relax before the wedding on the 8th! Wow this looks like it is going to time out perfect.

joymar's son and my son are both YN and will both be in Norfolk. Seems that many from Meridian are going there. My son is leaving Meridian today, making a stop with his brother in AL to visit family, and will be home in FL on Sunday for the rest of his leave. Congrats, nancynavymom, in expecting your sailor home soon too!
