SailorMoesFiancee: I was kinda expecting a wait but it turns out in his orders say he starts on June20th and graduates like August 23 or something like that. I guess we will see! He left today for San Diego and said he'd call when he knows more information. How quickly was it that he was phased up? I was really wanting to go out there for the 4th because they usually getthe day after off too so more days with him would be great! My kids haven't seen him since he left for bootcamp and they are REALLY missing him. Again we shall see! Thank you for all the information though. That does help. I really just don't know what exactly to expect with this and with us being so close, I wish I could just move out there but I dunno.

Deb M: you say civilian clothes is a must. What does that mean?

Bev: Congrats to your sailor! How was graduation?

Clandy26, it sounds like your husband is also a 4yo STG too. That is what my fiance is enlisted with also. Alright so here is what I have come across so far. My sailor had PIR on May 21st and came across a two month hold right away. He will not be classing up until July 28th. So be ready to experience a hold once he gets there. From what I have been told, the hold is due to waiting for enough STG sailors to PIR so a class can actually get filled.

Point Loma (as stated by Deb M) is very relaxed compared to some other A-schools. Your hubby will be allowed to have his cell phone and laptop right away. Just beware that the internet can be very slow on base and many cell phones will not function well in the barracks. Shortly after he arrives there, he will begin "indoc" classes where he will learn all about the base, rules, and the process of phasing up. According to my sailor, phasing up is quite quick and easy. All you must do is pass a couple inspections, go through some mandatory classes, and do a couple volunteer services.

Seeing as the hold is so long right now, what my sailor did was put in a temporary phase 3 chit and out of bounds chit (because they must stay within I believe 250-350 miles of base) to come visit me. I live out on the east coast in Massachusetts. He actually just put in another couple of chits to be able to come out for 4th of July long weekend. We are keeping our fingers crossed right now that it gets approved.

Any questions you can think of right now? =) I'll try my best to help!

Hi there Clandy26! I'm also pretty new to this whole Navy life, but my fiance is over at a-school right now in San Diego. Is that where your husband is headed? If so, maybe I can help you out with a bit of information. =)

Hello, my hubby just graduated Boot Camp and has orders to leave for A-school this Thursday. Then he starts school on the 20th. I have no idea what its gonna be like for him or when he'll get leave and what not. If anybody has anyinformation it would be great to know. Because his school is only 9 weeks we won't be moving with him, we will be staying in Tucson, which is alot closer then having him in Illinios. :)

Hi there everyone! I figured I would introduce myself seeing as I am new to this group. I'm Megan and I am a girlfriend to one of our courageous US Seaman! I just witnessed his PIR this past week (5/21) at Great Lakes, IL. Now he is located at Point Loma for STG a-school. He loves it there already, but unfortunately will be on hold for two months before classing up. I hope to fly out to see him, but it will be quite the trip from Massachusetts.

Any chance of him getting leave while on hold?

My son got a general delivery address that we had to use to send him his things. Said he won't have a regular address for a little while until one opens up.

Same to you Jake's mom. I think our sons know each other. Mine said he knew of at least one coming to STG school after GL. He is enjoying the weather and will have his "electronics" by tomorrow so is excited to be more connected to friends and family. Here's to hoping the hold period won't be too long! He is eager for classes to start.

Glad I found this group! My son PIR'd on April 9 and is in San Diego waiting for classes to start. He is very excited to get going and is taking this time to get acquainted with the base and bases nearby. Still waiting for an official address but do have a general delivery address so he can get a few things shipped to him. He is not sure how long the hold period will be. I am going to tell him the "real" meaning of STG..I am sure he'll get a kick out of it!
