sglen, that's how things happen sometimes. Sailors have to be on duty even on holidays and your Sailor cannot go in the hole on leave and take more days of leave than he has accumulated to that point even though he will be able to do RAP duty if he chooses and get credit for 5 days of unchargeable leave once he gets to his new command. 10 days means that his leave is the 18th through the 27th and he probably has to report in on the 27th--the dates and times will be on his orders.

My son spoke to my husband yesterday ind indicated he will be on leave the 18 of Nov for 10 days. This would mean he would be leaving the day before or day of Thanksgiving which makes no sense as flights are pretty impossible around that holiday.

Oh! By the way...there are no "dumb questions"!

Check the "break down" link above for a usual time table. Some sailors take longer due to injury, illness or not getting through a module successfully. "Needs of the NAVY" will become a popular phrase in your world now. No set rules about what happens after A School. Could be Stateside, in country in any number of bases or C School for further training in a specialty. Leave? Wo knows?! "Needs of the NAVY."

These may be dumb questions,  how long is A school for the MA rating in San Antonio? Do they usually get liberty after? If so, for how long? What is the next step after A school? Usually a fleet or here in the states? Sorry, Im still trying to tackle being a boot camp mom, the A school thing is REAL new for me

Hello! Just had this message from a mom on facebook...please share with any San Antonio connections you might have or ask your kids to do so on social media:" The United States Army Institute for Surgical Research is currently treating a 22 y/o active duty IED blast/burn patient from Afghanistan. Because of the extensive burns and trauma injuries, he must receive B NEGATIVE blood. This blood type only makes up about 2% of the population, so it's critical that we locate potential blood donors and ask them to donate. 

For each trip to surgery he will require 10-15 units of blood/blood products (40 - 50 units per week.) The Akeroyd Blood Donor Center, JBSA-Fort Sam Houston is asking all service members, family members, DOD civilians, or retirees with B NEGATIVE blood type to please contact the BDC at (210) 295-4655 or Mark Salcedo via email at mark.t.salcedo.civ@mail.mil

The center is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 am - noon for walk-ins."

Thank you!

My son is MA MWDH. Was in Bahrain, got dog school, went back for a year and a half. Where they go depends on billets available for rate. He's on the "left coast" stateside now.

Also is it true that If you want to stay at the on base hotel at Lackland, your sailor has to make the reservation and be present to check in?
