A school graduation is not like boot camp graduation. They so get dressed in their whites but the ceremony takes all of 10 minutes. They each get handed their certificates and some pictures get taken. I would recommend planning a trip when the time is more convenient for you!

A-School has finally started and is going well. Should we be planning to go to A-School graduation? We are in NC and school teachers so to fly to San Diego in early October is going to take some serious planning! Thoughts?

hahahhaha When i met up with my first squadron after A school, they older sailors tried to send me out for "propwash" " a spool of flight line" etc .. for those of you who don't know aviation lingo, prop wash is the exhaust from a prop engine and the flight line is where we park the planes in a line, but i was wise to their games since my stepdad was a navy vet. SO HA HA... when the newbies came after me, i sent them looking for the propwash and flightline.. as my son got his orders and was going to meet his ship, i told him the same story. His dept tried to get him to go get stuff.. but he was wise.. then he went to a party with his new shipmates.... the hazing from days of old are pretty much long gone, its a navy nono might get a little ribbing, but it will be fine..
spyder013 sorry your daughter was pretty much ignored.. that sucks!!

My STG finally recieved orders and will report to his cruiser at 1700 this evening. I know they will be busy but what is it like for brand new sailors? Is there a tradition of the older guys playing practical jokes on the newbies? My brother served aboard Nimitz and he says veteran sailors sent him looking for onboard McDonalds and a bowling alley, among other things.

What is the Navy STG page called that you are on jillymom? I'm also thinking maybe I could look for a facebook page for the Higgins? My STG3 (6 year) has just gotten orders to be on the Higgins and stationed at Naval Base San Diego. He's talking about trying to qualify to be a SWCC (I think that was it!) says he's really close. He graduated from C school this summer and has been at ASW Point Loma in the meantime while he was awaiting his orders. I have a terrible time understanding all the stuff he talks about, so I try to glean what I can from other sources!
