Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on February 19, 2012 at 10:08pm: when arriving to STG A school... do they have to lock up their laptops??

Comment by abuon18 on January 31, 2012 at 4:07pm: From what my husband has told me it's a part of the Point Loma Base. It's such a small base that it doesn't have it's own website. http://www.cnic.navy.mil/POINTLOMA/index.htm

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on November 23, 2011 at 10:55am: navymommo.... ok .. his recruiter told him he would stay... but i don't know if he's taking that from his own experience since he's an STG also.. so i guess i will just wait to hear what my SR says... thanks AND CONGRATS to you and ur Sailor..

Comment by joankf Ship11 Div 181 on November 23, 2011 at 9:15am: Navymommo, I attended my daughter's A school STG graduation last month in Point Loma. That was a very proud moment for me and I too was honored to be there. One of her classmates received the prestigious NAM award in front of his proud family. She is now on board her ship, the USS THE SULLIVANS on a 6 month deployment. Thank goodness for facebook and skype! Her first holidays away from home will be tough. Keeping all your sailors in my thoughts and prayers!

Comment by navymommo on November 23, 2011 at 2:22am: Saw my sailor finish his A school STG today, Fantastic experience!! No other family members were in attendance for the whole class. They are a bright , beautiful class lead by a very caring leadership. It was very impressive and we were honored to be there.

barbydahl- not everyone does the ATT class in the beginning. some 4 years don't do it. Almost all 6 years do it. It can happen before or after the a school before they get their system. the best info will come from your sailor.

Comment by abuon18 on November 17, 2011 at 10:56pm: It's a basic technical school, all rates that will be working with (actually I think mostly repairing) electronic equipment have to go through it before their actual A school training which is job-specific.

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on November 17, 2011 at 10:38pm: oh what is this ATT class you speak of?

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on November 17, 2011 at 3:47pm: cool thanks helps even more!!!

Comment by abuon18 on November 17, 2011 at 2:09pm: Immediately after PIR he had about an hour with us on base (we went to the NEX) then he had to go back to his ship to get his stuff together and move over to the other base (there is a separate base for boot camp and regular training). It took about 3 or 4 hours, then he called us when he was ready to be picked up. Saturdya and Sunday he had liberty beginning at 5 am (although he would call us around 7 to pick him up). He had to be back in his ship by 10 for muster, so we would drop him off around 8:30/9 because he had to walk back and get signed in by 10.
