DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

Comment by abuon18 on April 18, 2013 at 7:26pm: Hi youngeston.... Yes as a 6 year your son will attend a class in Great Lakes before coming out to San Diego. To give you an example of the timeline variance, my husband left for boot camp Jul 2011. Graduated Sept 2011, finished ATT in Great Lakes in Nov 2011, finished A school in San Diego in Feb 2012, and finished C school in San Diego in April 2013. Lots of factors determine the length of their schooling.

Comment by navy great grand dad on April 18, 2013 at 6:34pm: this was time frame for my ggson. dates may vary depending on class up holds

Comment by navy great grand dad on April 18, 2013 at 5:38pm: youngestson yes your son will stay in Great Lakes for a while. whenever the class starts it will b a 49 day Basic electronics school titled ATT, after that he will go to A school in San diego. Then more schooling in San Diego. My Great Grandson just went thru this. He went to BC Aug 2011 PIR Early Oct then to ATT left Great lakes Feb 2012 for SsnDiego left San diego for his ship Jan 2013

Comment by Kelly W on April 17, 2013 at 9:19pm: navymommo: I have always been short on patience : ) this is going to be a learning experience for me. I really appreciate this site. I can't imagine how lost I would be without all the info and support!
Barbydahlzz: Accepted! Thank you.

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on April 17, 2013 at 7:18pm: Kelly.... i've got no clue why i thought your son was ALREADY in boot... i've sent a friend request to you

Comment by navymommo on April 17, 2013 at 5:35pm: HI Kelly,

I wish your son best of luck in BC. I would caution you about estimating time frames for schools.... Holds are very unreliable! If he is early in filling the class, he could wait for a long time (months). If he is last to fill the class, he could start the next day. No way of knowing. The same for c school.

Comment by Kelly W on April 17, 2013 at 4:01pm: Barbydahlzz: my son leaves for BC on June 18th, I anticipate he should be in SD for A school in August. I believe STG school is 9 weeks (?). I have been reading as much as I can about both BC and STG so I can try and keep up with my son as he goes through the process. Also, I am super type A and I feel the need to know! Did your son day much about his A school experience?

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on April 17, 2013 at 10:42am: Hey Kelly.... since your son is already and STG will he have to go to school again to learn the new systems the JPJ just installed? my son was asking...

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on April 17, 2013 at 10:39am: OH haha I was an AME

Comment by Kelly W on April 16, 2013 at 10:46pm: Barbydahlzz: my husband was wondering what your rating was. He left Memphis in 1991 and was off to Italy.
