hi! I'm not sure if this is the right place...my son said he was the yeoman for his division at BC. His job will be logistics specialists so again not sure this is the correct place. I just wanted more info on his current role.

M Welcome to the Navy family!! My son has been in the Navy for 9 months.He is a Yeoman and it is a good postion. My son is in a very good job. He works for a Adimiral in the Admin office in Norfolk Va. He was told that he received that position because of how well he dd in A-School . Yoeman work on computers and learns how the Navy runs. Then they proceed to keep it running. they do correspondence and keep all the paperwork in order.I have heard them called the black and white of the Navy. referring to the paperwork. What ever goes on some Yeoman has been involved. Ther is lots of information on the bootcamp website and the Meridian website(A school.) My son has seen other positions and he is grateful for his job.. The ladies on the website are great. Ask lots of questions. I was on this website constantly when my son was in boot camp and A-school. At timesI knew more than my son . but if your Sailor is anything like mine who didn't answer questions. this was the best website for answers.

My son was sworn in today and will be leaving in October for Great Lakes for PIR then off to Meridian and then will be a Yeoman. Just trying to learn what I can about the position. The recruiter said it is one of the best jobs to have for potential promotions and awards. I am one proud mom, just like the rest of you:)

So this feels so crazy my son is stationed on the other side of the country but while he is on this underway he feels so much father away. He has e-mail and FB so it isn't like I haven't been in contact with him yet I can't shake the feeling. I say it hear as I think this is the only place where someone might understand or at least listen. thanks
He seems to be doing well just watching what goes on, trying to stay busy. He hasn't really complained about anything really just taking it all in to access later I assume

Oh, and my son said nothing about special treatment or "harsh" treatment since he was not connected to the ship he sailed on. So I guess all was ok???

I agree, theraysmom. My son enjoys the yeoman position too. He has only been on short "underway"so far--- on a ship other than his own (his is in dry dock) for testing of the flight deck functions after repair. He too said he was glad to be a yeoman on the ship...some perks with it...email, working with the officers, etc. He never mentioned an issue with the racks since he happens to be short so may fit better! :-) He used to sleep on the floor of his bedroom for years when he was younger...I would find him on the floor, our Lab on his bed. He said he just found it more comfortable on the floor...maybe training for sleeping in Navy racks? Not sure!

So my son when out to sea on Wednesday but I did some investigating.( He didn't tell me) He is on a underway. He has e-mail and Facebook with the NAVY rules of course. He is taking it one day at a time as he says it is kinda boring at times. He does not have certain duties he has to just be ready if they need him for the staff he came with. I am grateful that he is a Yeoman. He seems to like what he is doing. I have other friends that are not happy with the choices they made. I know that when he comes back to the base where he is stationed. He will be very grateful for the place they put him to serve his 4 years, at the very least his bed haha

BHappy, thanks for the facebook and website. His wife is staying in Oak Harbor. This is his first deployment so we will see how it goes. They have had time to settle in though and for that I'm grateful.
