Wondering now too...My daughter gave me an address (San Diego) yesterday to send pkgs to. She said it is the post office across from her building, and when I asked how to address it she said just her name and the address, because the base owned the zip code. And she just goes and picks it up. I did that, and now I'm worryiing it wasn't enough.

No there are not any groups on FB or here for SONAR A-school.... It's just such a small rate compared to the others! My husband had less than 20 people in his A school class, about 12 in his C school. But anyone is welcome to create one, FB and this page are both public forums and the groups themselves are not created or moderated by the Navy or the A schools.

I like that FB group, jillymom, but you're right it's more for the sailors themselves. They have inside jokes spoken in Sonar-speak, and most of the time I have no idea what they are saying. Pictures are good though. :) I do wish there was a mom's FB page. I loved our PIR one, and I would love to see one for STGs or for San Diego A school. There are groups it seems for every A school but that one. I've been looking on here too.....is there possibly an A School San Diego group on here that I'm just not finding?

The FB group is a closed group that you can put in a request to be in. Just search for STG and STS, it'll come up. It's run by Victor Caine. I mostly just listen. They talk in acronyms and jargon, but it's useful for your sailor to join that community.

Excessive debt can also affect their security clearance; they become a greater risk.

yup for those over 21 its easy to spend a wad of cash especially since you've been at RTC my son spent a few hundred on his first TAT then his 2nd TAT.... then bought a truck but, the Navy has taught our sailors to becareful with their money and if you get in a ton of debt its easy to be kicked out .. that was not taught durning my navy years..learned the hard way.. Anyway there are lots of things our sailors are able to enjoy for free or practically free while in san diego.. the zoo, sea world etc.. they will learn all about it when they get there oh another big expense was the boys TV Xbox and gaming crap.... UGH... anyway enjoy and hugs to all
