Good morning! Someone will have the proper answer for you. My daughter is in for 6 yrs and it took from January until september for her to get a ship. There were lots of holds though so I don't really know how long the actual training lasts. Good luck to you and your son!
Romis... My son was in SD for 14 months and signed for six years after he arrived in SD. Your son just needs to enjoy the time he is in SD. As soon as he ships up he could go to a dry dock ship, as in my son's girl friend. Or he could be put to sea for six to seven months. Lots of holds as spuder013 said. He needs to find a good group of friends and spend time visiting the sites around SD. And study, study, study! Good Luck...
Just joined the group! Saw previous comments about 4 vs 6 yrs. My SR graduates 4/27 then heads to SD the 28th...he said he is in a 6 yr contract but could it only be 4 years since he is going directly to SD?
It could be 4 years active and 2 reserves which could make a difference. My son has an 8 year contract. it is 6 years active and 2 reserves. He stayed in Great Lakes for @ 9 weeks after PIR and just arrived in San Diege last week for A school and is on hold now. Oh and congratulations to you and your SR!!!
Ok thanks for the info! My SR is my boyfriend so I'd be okay with four years:) won't get my hopes up...he never did mention anything about the reserves though and his mom received all the paperwork and somewhere in there it said something about 4 years..not too sure of the details if you haven't noticed haha
Hi everyone... my son is in STG A school and almost done.. said he's coming home for 2 weeks of leave then goes back for OPS school.... WHAT IS BAA School?? is that for 6 yr contracts?? my son like everyone else is on an 8yr contract, but 4yr active/ 4yr inactive reserve..
Hi barbydahlzz... BAA is just the second half of A school! It's for 4 yrs and 6 yrs since it is part of A school. (That is what my husband told me anyway... he is a 6 yr.)
Hi barbydahlzz.... I'm glad he's enjoying San Diego!! I can't imagine why he wouldn't though :) it's fantastic out here! Has he heard where he will be stationed yet?
Right now we're still in San Diego. He is a 6year so he still has C school which starts at the end of May. We'll be here for another year at least before we find out his orders! Hopefully we get to stay though :)
Just joining the group as my sailors PIR is this friday. She has a 6 yearl enlistment and will be in Great Lakes until around June 12th and then on to San Diego for A school and after that C school. Can anyone tell me when they are allowed to come home on leave?
Welcome and congratulations! leave happened for my son after A school He will wait on "hold" after processing days at Point Loma until he classes up. This is dependent on how many sailors are there and ready to start- they start when they have enough- so this is not predictable. Leave happened for my son after he graduated from A school
I bet you are so excited for PIR! It truly is a beautiful ceremony! As far as leave, he most likely will not get leave approved until he is San Diego. Like navymommo said, onec he gets to San Diego, depending on when his class is scheduled to start and how many leave days he has banked, he can request leave while he is on hold before his school starts. They are not allowed to go on leave during their class time. The STG base is usually very accomodating, and unless they do not have enough leave days saved or the days would overlap with school they will usually approve. My husband started A school immediately, but after he graduated A school in February, has been on hold since and does not start C school until the end of the month, so I think a safe bet would be after A school, like navymommo said! Congratulations!
hello, my son just started A school on Monday..He has a 4 yr enlistment.. is already thinking he might get the opportunity to sign for the 2 extra yrs...what should we consider, i don't know much about this field but am willing to learn...
my SN graduates from A school tomorrow ... he's soooo excited... no orders yet (ugh) which means no leave home (ugh) .. he's staying and waiting for OPS school .. just texted me a pic of his dress whites with his rate and rank sewed on. Im sooo proud,.
well, my STGSN has been thru A school.... graduated last MAY ... still has not been authorized leave... and now out of time since OPS school starts in july.. so said he gets leave when he transfers duty stations in september. he left home last november... saw him for a day at PIR... missin my sailor...
Barbydahlzz....it is hard when we don't get them home and frustrating that it takes so long for things to happen:-(....but u are really lucky that's he's in san diego because its so nice there. I am up visiting dau in WA right now...24 hour drive time........lol! Lots of beautiful cool weather...52 right now and rain!
SPYDER013..... yea he keeps telling me how awesome it is there... ( im originally from california) so i know how lovely it is...i sent him a text of the temp gauge in my car yesterday... it said 111 degrees....(yea its hot in kentucky).. he said Im stayin IN SAN DIEGO ...LOL
Smart kid;-)! I did not realize u guys get temps like AZ, is that normal for u? Absolutely he couldn't be in a better place weather wise as well as things to do and have fun! Hopefully you get there fairly often 2! Wish my daughter would have been stationed there...only 5 hr drive instead of 24...lol! But they appear to go there occasionally so had time with her last month also...go me!
yea ... IT IS NOT normal for us this early... usually hits in AUGUST... its crazy... YAY you that they go to SD occasionally... my son got perm duty in SD .. he's a happy boy...
Bev, I know, Im afraid its going to be AWFUL.. My son's sinuses are all cleared up..Hot n Humid doesn't agree with him... but dry and hot doesn't agree with me.. Im better in hot n humid.. weird . msg me what ship ur daughter is on..
My son graduated from A school yesterday...Hooyah!!! I was not able to attend :( I wish their was a website where they would post pics of graduation like the rtc fb page...
Congratulations :) A school graduation is not like PIR, it takes about 10 minutes for them to hand out certificates then they spend about the next 20 taking pictures!
Romis.... my sailor got a CD a little after grad.... he emailed me EVERY pic.... omg ... it was pretty cool to see EVERYONE from his class LOL ....ask your sailor to do that or mail it home..LOL Congrats to you as well... is your sailor a 4 yr or 6 yr?
