STG (Sonar)
Sonar Technician - Surface
Soooo many questions...
My daughter leaves for boot camp in July, her rate is STG. I'm way ahead of the game here, but I'm trying to reconcile what I read, what's on the papers, and what the recruiter says into one thing. It all seems to bounce off each other. Her papers say her A school will be in San Diego for 12 weeks. On usmilitary.com, it says 8 1/2 weeks. Her recruiter says her first orders will be on a ship then shore somewhere. usmilitary.com says first sea tour is 54 months.
I'm confused! LOL....any tips from those in this same rate?

HI..... Being ahead of the game is great and CONGRATS to your daughter and the family!!!! My son is an STG and his A school was only 8 or 9 weeks long then had OPS school which ended up being close to 12 weeks... He is only a 4 yr enlistee. I know if your a 6 year enlistee you do go to C school (dont kno how long that is..) My son is stationed aboard the USS John Paul Jones.. which is in the yards till sometime this summer... then out to sea for a couple months for training ... from what he tells me Deployment won't happen until AFTER he RE-ENLISTIST end of 2015.... He had a LOT of waiting inbetween schools Took almost a whole year to get to his ship.. so, 54 months won't happen.... YAY July will be here before you know it ENJOY your time at home ...

Even more confused now. LOL. There doesn't seem to be any standard from what I'm reading. Thanks though, everyone! Guess we'll just have to wing it as we go.
