d o... from what I've heard, harp duty is only available after they complete A school and before they start C school. I could absolutely be mistaken since there is so much misinformation that gets circulated but that's what someone told me when I asked about it.

Oggi's seems to be the local hang out after class.  All studying has to be completed in the classroom according to my sailor. Since the books have sensitive information, they can not be removed for cramming back in the rooms. 

I've heard of something called harp? duty...where they can work at the local recruiter's office and not be charged with leave.  Is that possible at Christmas during stand down?

drjh...My son arrived December 23, 2010 and chose not take leave. So he was with the small group that didn't go home, stayed on base. Spent Christmas with buddies. If you go home it comes off your leave time. Stand down is about two weeks. Check with your base for exact dates.

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this discussion as well.  My fiance is Advanced Electronics STG. I too was wondering about orders and getting married.  I think I got most of my answers. I was wondering though, you all talked about stand down in December. Does everyone get that? Do they have to use leave time? around when does that occur?  sorry for all the questions.  It may be crazy, but I think I'm going to try and plan this wedding for December if he has holiday leave. Take advantage of the time. Thanks!!

Thanks Deb, just checking to make sure that he gets his orders in C school not A school because we want to be married before he gets them & he is currently scheduled to graduate A school in February so we are trying to figure out if we need to be married by then or not. I will be moving out to San Diego just not sure when so we would like to be able to wait until I live there.

My sailor went to SD as a 4 year. After "A" he was approved for 6. He arrived in SD on December 22nd 2010 and still does not know where he will be. Maint. class started 2 or 3 weeks ago and a 4 week class in January is all he has left. Good Luck abuon18! Phoebe

Hi everyone, my fiance graduated boot camp yesterday (woo hoo!!) And his contract is 6 year STG. He has ATT still in GL then moves to SD for A-School. With a 6 year contract he will get his orders for his permanent duty station during C-School right? I live in Fl and we are trying to figure out the best time to get married.
