My son is still on hold in Point Loma. He is working on phasing up, has no idea when he will class up. He is thinking of going the 6 yr route but is on the 4 yr plan right now. All of this seeming indecision is hard to deal with. His attitude is good though.
He took a test that had the questions covered up with part of the answers making it so he couldn't see that question thereby getting some questions wrong. . He got a score he wasn't pleased with, took it over got a 100 but thinks the first one will still go on his record. Should his record be blemished by faulty equipment.? Is there anything he can do about that? He's going to check with his mentor. Have a good day... grand son requesting attention.

Like I said, you can move out there anytime you want but they will not pay for it because you will not be on his orders. A school isn't long enough for them to authorize it. They may pay for this move if his C school is long enough but there are several different C schools with varying lengths, although most have been pretty long lately. He cannot leave base until he has reached a certain phase of liberty so even if you move out there he will have to do his part to get to phase 3 so he can get overnights. It's tough but this is part of military life. No matter what your circumstances, the Navy's needs come first. We are getting married in November and then I'm hoping to move out in December. If his C school isn't long, I probably won't though as he'll be assigned a permanent duty station shortly after. Hang in there and don't freak out. Just take it day by day.
