Hi All - Our daughter PIRd on October 18. Her training was scheduled to begin on October 28 but has not begun and there is no word when. She has done several community service events and was on a frigate yesterday. That had to have been exciting!

Suzbee - This is all I know about. My son is in San Diego, has been since last November. He is STG E4; but has surgery and will be out for eight months. Not sure if he will be able to do school but we will see. They are busy and time change (we are in Florida) does make it tough. Lots of quick texts!

My sailor is in her fifth week at A school.  She said that she doesn't know if there will be a hold before Ops school yet, and they are supposed to go on stand down for christmas and get to come home but she doesn't know the dates yet.  Also, some of her friends have received their orders, but she hasn't yet.  There seems to be a long hold for a ship, her friends orders so far have been for April.

I would love to communicate with other STG moms too. My sailor should class up in early December ( I think). I think this week is when they find out where they will be stationed after A school.

Hello, STG peeps! My sailor is waiting to class up but keeping busy working and volunteering until then. Do we have a FB group?

Not only is it really busy for them, but they can have rather unusual hours.  We don't hear from our son except on the weekends, because due to the time differences, any other day is impossible.

They cannot take their phones to class or study periods.  It is really busy for them once class begins.  You may hear from him over the weekend.

My son PIRed on 9/13/13 and when he arrived in San Diego on 9/14 was told that A school wouldn't start for a few weeks. Last week he was told he may be on hold another week. I haven't spoken with him or gotten a text from him since Saturday night. I heard from my brother that my son called him on Monday and said school started! He must have gotten a last minute class... Is there a chance his phone was taken away from him?

This is the current sailor- Building 11 is a secret classified building and all electronics are not allowed. The Chiefs and other Instructors dont take kindly to elecronics especially the NMT. Phase up process is Phase 1 for 2 weeks along with completeing some online lessons, a community service event, and watch qualifications. Phase 3 which allows almost complete freedom requires 3 weeks of phase 2, a phase up interview, a couple more online lessons, and 2 more community service events. Phase 1 is uniform at all times, no driving in personal vehicles, and a curfew at 2200. Phase 2 Allows Civilian clothes, personal vehicles, and weekend curfew at 0000. Phase 3 eliminates curfew.

Have a good Day!

My daughter will be going to San Diego after 10/18 PIR. I'm going to give her an extra heads up about the cell phone rule, learning from your daughter's experience. Sorry that happened
