It depends on his A school. My son who is an ET/COM started his school on April 20th it was surpose to be finish in Sept 3th. But it was moved up to August 7th. So I'm guessing its how the course goes and how the sailors do in class.

Thanks for the welcome, Gloria. When my son graduated Sub school he has 2 weeks leave to visit before having to report to Pearl Harbor. I think the grads usually have some leave time, but a lot depends on the boat they are assigned to and what is happening at that time.
When does he graduate? My son was 3rd in his class also. Is your son ET, FT or STS?

Hi everyone. My son is NAV ET on the USS Olympia out of Pearl Harbor, HI. He has been in the Navy for over 2.5 years now and in HI for 1.5 years of that time. He is a Petty Officer now.
No, I haven't been to HI yet, maybe next year. His boat was in dry dock when he first arrived and has only been underway since earlier this year. Once he gets a better schedule, we will plan to go visit. Glad to know about this group.

Hi Lindsey welcome to the group. Is Matt Et, Ft or STS?

Yea my son said there were 2 sailors in his class who were not able to pick Hawaii because they were married. Guess the Navy doesn't pay extra for family to join their sailors. It does cost a lot to go to Hawaii. Best of luck to you and your hubby. I read that you would love to go to Norfork Va. My hubby cousins are Navy over there. We told our son maybe one day he'll go there. One of the cousins work now for NASA. My son is into all that space stuff so it would be a kool place to visit.
