It's been awhile but wanted to stop in here. My son graduated A school in Dec, was home until 1/2 and now on the USS Truman (preparing for deployment). He's a bit overwhelmed at the moment..it has all seemed to go so fast for both Sailor and those who love him. Trying to get my emotions in check and accept that we may not be able to communicate with him often... Please keep us (especially him) in your prayers. Thanks!

My son Jeff just completed his first deployment. He is now back in San Diego, he won't make it home for Christmas but he will get leave the first week of January. I'm so proud of him, he ranked up and is now an E4, 3rd class. He earned his ESWS pin and is now a Shellback! As you can see I'm very proud of him.
Lynda - Congrats to you on Aaron's advancement to LS1!

Hi durrich, it was my understanding that LS A school was self paced. My son had pir'd 10/7/11, He graduated from A school 11/22/11. He had hoped to make it home by Thanksgiving but didn't make it until the Saturday after. He was home for 10 days leave & then had to report to his first duty station. So he spent Thanksgiving in A school & Christmas on his ship. Depending on how he A school goes your son might be having Thanksgiving there but maybe it will workout for him to make it home for Christmas. You will learn to celebrate whenever you can with them. The get to fill out there dream sheet with there top three places to be stationed but the Navy will sent them where they need them. He will get his orders for his 1st duty station close to the end of A school, Enjoy this wild ride. We are all on it together!
