Melynster my husband graduates tomorrow and he is a PACT fireman he will be in Great Lake for 4-5 weeks roughly then we will move to our station. I don't know how much time he will have off in between. But I have heard about a week. There won't be much time to visit in that week as it will take that whole time to move yourself to your new station and settle in before he has to be at work. I'll find out more in two days
@mylenster
My husband is S-Pact. His PIR was March 11. He was at Great Lakes for 3 weeks, then came home on April 1st. His first week was indoc, Then 2 weeks of the surface common core training. He wasn't put on hold at all, so the day he completed training he came home. He was given 10 days of leave. He reported to his first command in San Diego on April 13th. Hope this helps! :-)
melynster-our son is S Pact. He had PIR on March 25. He had the weekend to spend with us after checking in to A school in GL. He then had 3 weeks at GL. He had 10 days leave at home and he reported to his command in Norfolk on April 26, yesterday. Hope this is useful and helps you in your upcoming plans. Good luck to your SR.
Hello all. I have a son leaving on Monday ( Dec. 5th) for Great Lakes . He signed a contract for S-PACT after having been delayed four months( orig. ship out date was July 19th as Aviation Machinist Mate). I have tried to find as much information on the S-PACT program to help me feel better about going in "undesignated". I suppose it is whatever you make of it, meaning my son will get the chance to find something he likes and work hard towards that job.
I ( we, I should say... I have a husband.. lol) have another son who is stationed at Kings Bay and is a MM ( A Ganger) on the USS Alaska. He has completed one patrol and will prepare for his second one the coming months. So we most likely have one son above the sea and the other lurking deep down. If anyone has any helpful info, advice, etc on the S-PACT program, I'd love to read it.
All PACT programs are the same now that ratings are gone. So if your undes that's what you are. Just make sure he talks to his career councler on the ship he is assigned. My husband is undes and he's in the engineering unit having to do DC tell him that he will also do cranking once he gets there soon after like my husband is doing now. It's not horriable it's only for 3 months but it's good to get it done and over with just the hours suck my husband is gone from 3am to 7pm 6 days a week.
Fayegirrl4 - I have a son who is S-PACT and his PIR was just in August. I had mixed feelings as well but trusted my sons ability to make his own decisions and he had faith in his choice despite the negativity (and there is SO much of that)! He has since been stationed at Little Creek, VA and he is land based. He absolutely loves it. I also have an older son who is Stationed at Pearl Harbor, HI on the USS Hopper (currently deployed). He is a GM (Gunners Mate) and even he is jealous of his brothers orders. So keep the faith and stay positive! It will be hard work like anything else and it will be what he makes of it!! Proud of these "kids!" :)
Thanks for the advice, ChristinaMarie! I guess I am just an over anxious mom. I have complete faith in our son that just left. We always want the best for our kids and I hope our son gets a chance to prove what he can do so he can chose a rate that makes him happy.
ChristinaMarie-- our oldest son wanted to go to Hawaii ( it was his #1 pick) but ended up at Kings Bay. He likes it and so do we because we can visit him ( just a SHORT 12 hour drive one way) a little more often than usual. LOL
Hi - We are almost 2 years into our youngest son's Navy choice. He went in as an A-PACT because he felt this could be his way to get to the planes. We too had heard negative things about the PACT piece but he seems to be ok with it.
His least favorite thing was cranking but now that it is over he doesn't have really harsh things to say about it. And it taught him a lot about the kitchen... something he wasn't interested in when he lived at home. So that was a positive in my eyes.
He has done a couple different things and he likes what he is doing know. He was hoping to go into rescue swimming but he hurt his shoulder while on leave and I have a feeling that is not going to be in the cards for him now.
They will be deploying soon so we will learn how that piece works... not hearing from him for long periods of time. I feel like it will be like it was when he was in boot camp. I am ready to buy some fun stationary and get the right boxes from the post office so we can send care packages!
This choice he made has made a man out of a boy... I can see the changes. He went in laid back and has come home on leave much more self assured and a bit more focused.
Hello everyone! My husband is doing the PACT thing. He will leave for BC in April & should be done by June and we should be stationed somewhere by then. Is there anyway to request and/or KNOW where we could be stationed?
There is no way to request a place he goes where the needs of the navy go. Since he's a PACT majority of them go to Norfolk or San deigo. Because he has no rate.
Tieranyyy- my son after BC went to Florida then stationed in Point Mugu ,CA. He's been there over 1 year now. Its pot luck where he will go. It will be ok just hang on and put a question mark after everything he tells you...
It's one year from graduation not from day one. Striking a rate happens twice a year spring and fall and they will not let you do it early so you will wait sometimes longer then a year. My husbands mate failed his test last fall and has to wait till spring to retest. Some sailors joke around and play games the navy does not play games. It also take a lot to strike you have to get all your signatures for qualls before you can strike for a rate.
My husband will be staying where his BC is for the additional 3-4 week training. After he graduates & can I stay there in a hotel for the additional 3-4 weeks? I am sure it'd have to be at our cost. Would I be able to see him? Would it be worth it? Even if I can just explore the city, that'd be nice!
Also, how long do they send him home and give him to move? And would we have to drive both our vehicles to where we are being stationed?
MamaValley, thank you for your comments about your sons PACT experience. It was very helpful and reassuring. My son seems ok with his decision. He is very excited to get started and that is good for me to see.
My son is getting ready to be deployed. They just got briefed by the Career Counselor and was told that it would be a minimum of 12 months on ship before he could strike for a position. It could take several months before a position opens he desires and then obtain it. Then he has to wait for an A class to become available (a few more months) which usually runs 6 months in school. The advancement exam after A school to rank up is only given every 6 months, so if the timing is wrong, he could wait another 6 months to rank up. This means he it could be 2 to 2.5 years AFTER being on a boat before he can rank up. If he were not APACT, then he would bypass the 12 months on Boat and the several months waiting for a position to open. Sadly he knows what he wants to do, but felt pressured at the time to make a choice the same day with the recruiter/counselor, and the position he wanted was not available....hence he became APACT.
He feels PACT sailors get the raw end of the deal by having to wait much longer to rank up. Sadly, he was initially told he would be able to strike 6 mo after he joined the Navy, then 6 mo after being on a boat, now its 12 mo. It seems limited information was communicated to many of the recruits, so they never knew the process. Why is this not communicated early on so they know the different paths and timeframes associated?
Dcpfarmgirl. It's because recruiting only cares about numbers most of the time. Most not all but most recruiters lie to get the numbers enlisted. Sad but true. My husband is a PACT now been in a year still no rate. Just how it is
It is too bad that the correct information isn't given up front -- most PACT seem to take 12-18 months to get a rating.
However, I know at least one amazing story. My son was not PACT, he went in AD, and got to second class petty officer by his second year. One night, several months after that, he walked into another squadron's workplace to borrow something, and there was a new AD2 working there -- that sailor turned around, and it was an A-PACT guy from his boot camp division! Somehow, all that guy's stars must have lined up.
I know how you feel same thing happened with my son. so all he's doing is his job and hoping something changes for the good. Tell him to hang in there.
I keep hearing nothing but negative things and people telling my husband not to go in as undesignated. He's a seamen. But I know he can pick a job within 18 months. So I am not sure what people mean by all the comments. Can someone help??
TierancyC-- I think it helps to go into it knowing what to expect. Some people are led to believe that the sailors will rotate through a number of different areas, like a buffet line, tasting the best of each, and then, when they come to the end of the line, they get to go back for "seconds" -- i.e., striking for any rating they like the best.
The reality is that they are assigned wherever they are most needed, and sometimes (often?) those are the jobs that other people don't want. After 12-18 months, they are able to chose a job, but again, it is whatever is most needed, not necessarily what they were hoping for (e.g., a choice of 2-3 jobs).
Now this could be good or bad, depending on how one looks at it (attitude is very important, and something that can be controlled), and depending on one's individual experience (doing one's best always helps, but this can't always be controlled). There is good and bad in everything.
The sailors do get a chance to see the real day-to-day of many jobs before making a choice; that's an option the recruit who starts out with an assigned job doesn't get.
My son went in undesignated in the A PACT program and he hasn't had a bad exprience. It did take awhile for him to get the rate he wanted but he seems to be happy with where he's at and he did finally get the rate he wanted. I hope this helps TieranyC
My son went to Boot Camp in December of 2014. I read so much negative and was just sick! But since there wasn't anything I could do about it, I started this group so several of us could be encouraging to each other. So many websites had only terrible things to say. I met several moms on this site whose sons entered around the same as mine. It seems that this experience is about the same as any job in the civilian world. So much depends on your actual workplace and the people around you. A sailor can go in with a rate and have a terrible experience because of his/her placement. A PACT sailor can have a good or bad experience because of placement which we don't have any control of. My son was assigned to a ship in March of 2015 and deployed in April of 2015. He was not assigned to the area he was hoping but made the best of it. He was able to see what the duties and jobs of the other rates (he didn't rotate but just observed as he worked and talked to others). He realized that the rate he had hoped for that was not available when he signed, was not where he wanted to be. He had a great guy in his department that helped him change areas on deployment (Still PACT but different job). While on deployment he was assigned kitchen duty for a while but he said all new people to she ship take their turn. Some got lucky and joined the ship toward the end and didn't have to "crank" but it had nothing to do with PACT. The ship arrived back in December of 2015. He worked until March and was able to get the rate he wanted. Then he took the test in September to rank up. So.. he has been in for just a little over 2 years and is and AD3 now. He has definitely learned a lot and grown up so much! Each experience is different- even with those that don't enter as PACT.
My husband has a PIR date of 6/9 and will stay in GL for A School for 2-3 weeks as he is in S-PACT. Do you know at what point of BC he will get his orders so we will know his first duty station???
My son is also S-PACT. PIR 8-12-16 and had the 2-3weeks in GL too. He didn't let us know until in that extra school time where he was going. He got 10 days to come home the first of Sep before being sent out west.
You're welcome TieranyC! Sorry I'm not much more help, but my son is a very quiet reserved kinda guy. He's supposed to be coming home next Friday from deployment & still hasn't told me the airline he's flying in on so we can pick him up. KIDS! LOL! Love him lots, but very frustrating at times!
So I got a letter from my son - so happy! He was told by the detailer that he will be at Great Lakes for an additional 9 days of training (and they are still calling it A school) then he will be allowed to take 10 days of leave. (That was nice to hear)
He was also told he will get orders sometime in the next three weeks! (4 Weeks left until PIR) He did fill out a dream sheet and was told usually if asking west coast they get sent to San Diego (One of his desired places) He asked to be plavced on a destroyer, cruiser or littoral combat ship (which surprised me).
Misisu my son also said the exact same thing as your son and we were very surprised. My son said he will be at Great Lakes also for about 10 days of training so we asked his recruiter and he was also surprised that it's only 10 days he thought it would be about eight to nine weeks of training. Does your son also graduate on June 2 and what ship and division is he in
I think Dream sheets are just that dream as when my husband graduated not one person he knew got any of there first 3 choices. He think they do that on purpose to get used to the lifestyle of not getting what you want as the Last 2 vacations we had planed and paid for were canceled as the navy canceled vacation he had as well as others on his ship
misisu, Sounds like my Sailor! Graduated boot camp 5-5, and went to Great Lakes A school. Was told 10 days. Pushed back a week because of overflow. Our Sailor was very fortunate, that he got his first choice on his "wish list". Location and ship are just what he asked for...and yes Pact will find out early what their deployment will be. In the right place at the right time for his choices.
Pact won't find out about deployment anymore sooner then someone that has a rate. My husband is a pact and strikes in two weeks. Whatever ship you are assigned to you will find out your deployment, and that's anyone that's assigned to a that specific ship. If your ship is out on deployment when your graduate and donyour A school they will fly you out to meet your ship no matter how long they were out. My husbands best friends ship was out on deployment and only had two weeks left on deployment and they flew him out to Italy to meet up with his ship and was out for two weeks and his ship came back home.
My daughter is also in SN-PACT she is in ship 12 div 174 and her PIR will be on June 2, 2017. I didn't understand what is all about. I ask the recruiter and he told me only what is SN- PACT (stands for Seaman Program Apprenticeship Career Track). Nothing more about. I saw other recruit its diff from my daughter. Others are A- PACT etc. How the SR being categorize by the recruiter bfore they will go to bootcamp. Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you.
There are different PACT programs they put your sailor in the program that cordinates with your sailors ASVAB score as some programs lead to such jobs like NUKE. FN-PACT can get you into the NUKE program like it did with my husband as he scored a 98 and he's a fireman in the engineering area. If you google it it will give you anin depth discerption of what you want to know that's how I found out
My son graduates June 30, and he is in a S-Pact, I think. I'm still trying to learn all of this. He said he filled out his wish list and asked to be on the West Coast. I still do not understand what his job is going to be or where he will go to A-School. I think in Great Lakes, but he hasn't written much or answered any of the questions that I have. Sometimes I think I have learned more about what is going on than he has! Just because I spend most of my free time on N4M and on the Facebook pages for Navy loved ones...
Genca, good luck to your Recruit! My son just finished A school at Great Lakes. He is also S-Pact. He was in school approx. 3 weeks (1 week waiting). Home on leave now, before he meets his ship in Spain. He got what he wished for. Also, he received his orders before PIR. He's excited to start this new part of his life. My understanding is S-Pact is apprentice seaman program. They will do all the jobs that need to be done (I'm sure some are not what they want). And learn a lot. Hoping that he'll be able to advance through hard work, attitude and responsibility. He's very happy!
Genca and cjtizzy55, I am so egar for my son to move on! He is scheduled for the PACT program but is on THU until a dr appointment on 6/28. He does have orders to a ship in Little Creek so he is excited as well. What ship is your son going to meet?
My husband is S-PACT and was told A School would only be 10 days. Now it's looking like 3 more weeks (not including this week) does anyone know the time frame??
TieranyC. my son is S-PACT. He graduated 8-12-16. Not sure exactly when the "A-School" started or ended, but he got to come home for 10days Sept 2nd, left again Sept 13th. Hope this helps.

Home on leave now, before he meets his ship in Spain. He got what he wished for. Also, he received his orders before PIR. He's excited to start this new part of his life. My understanding is S-Pact is apprentice seaman program. They will do all the jobs that need to be done (I'm sure some are not what they want). And learn a lot. Hoping that he'll be able to advance through hard work, attitude and responsibility. He's very happy!

My husband is S-PACT and was told A School would only be 10 days. Now it's looking like 3 more weeks (not including this week) does anyone know the time frame??
