Cryptology ~ CTI ~ CTM ~ CTN ~ CTR ~ CTT ~ CWT Corry Station Pensacola Florida and Monterey California

navymom3 and NavyMom4J - Same here. I have a long list of miracles the Navy performed on my son.  The best was that he was assigned to the Head Crew while in Boot Camp - it was PERFECT sweet revenge for me.  The Navy succeeded where I failed.  I'm just happy that our Sailors turned out so well.

Woo-hoo!  Got my nephew into the NIOC Denver building to see what actually happens in the field for CT's.  He was in total shock on the equipment and the things that happen.  Glad to have made his day!  

NavyMom4J - Have his go to the Travel Management Office (TMO) office to set up his House Hold Good (HHG) shipment.  He needs to tell them he wants a split shipment, 1 to Denver to his Home of Record, and one to his new duty station.  It's an easy thing to do, as long as he has his orders.  He can send an express shipment to San Diego which mean he will get it within days, but it is limited to 500 lbs.  

I bet you added yourself by mistake.   To make a comment, which you did, for the Boot Camp for Dummies thread you are required to add yourself.

I bet you clicked "add" and forgot to say "leave the group" after that.   

We do that to see how many dummies we can find.  You now will receive your cap & gown.  You've graduated.... j/k...  

We love all sailors here, and we love funnin' when someone opens themselves up to a joke.  You've got to admit, you opened yourself up real good.... btw:  I noticed you're in the boot camp group.  It's good you're doing research about your sailors future.  Bravo!  Is your sailor going to be a CT?  We talk about all types of things here, mostly about the CT stuff, and other stuff to make your sailor's life easy.

You're still in the rollercoaster ride in boot camp.  Just hang on, and enjoy the ride.  The boot camp PIR groups are awesome and alot of fun....

Welcome again to the Navy!  

Brians - You really can't tell the difference between a CT and a Nuke... They all come from the same mold.  

Here is a video too...

Just found out my son got his orders.  He was really hoping for stateside and particularly Denver, but instead is going to Misawa, Japan!!!! OMG!  He didn't get his "dream sheet" requests.  Told us that they were told they just pretty much throw them away.  Oh well, this will be a life experience for sure.  One of those he'll never forget. I asked him if he was happy, and he didn't know how to answer.  Told me he's nervous, but a little excited.  He's a CTR.  My other son who has wanted to go to Japan for a very long time (he's into hondas), is so jealous.  He's in the Nuclear Power school right now and is hoping when he's done in 2 years he'll be heading to Japan.  He already is talking about going to visit his brother at Christmas when he's home on leave.  That would be great, but would be very expensive I'm sure. So, unfortunately probably won't happen, unless we win powerball!  LOL!!!! 

Does anyone know anything about the base in Misawa?  I know it's an Air Force base and is quite large.  I did do some reading about it yesterday.  Just curious if anyone has a daughter/son there now?  He graduates A-school on 10/14 and gets to come home for 21 days!  We're so thankful for that. His birthday is 10/30, so we will get to celebrate before he goes.  He's turning 19.  Going to take him to see his brother in Goose Creek.  They haven't seen each other for almost a year now.  One went to boot camp in Dec and the other in April. 

Thanks for any info you can give!!! 

I have heard it depends on how high in their class they are who gets what they wish a long as the need of the Navy is there as well.

glassdog - Go here, it lists all the states:

Thanks to all of  you!  I know I can always rely on someone out there to help me!  I will check it out right away!

sunshine73 that would be great!  By that time maybe my son could be your sons sponsor when he arrives on Oahu.

Navymom3, I know, my other son is already talking about buying parts!!  He's been into Honda's since he was in 6th grade!  Japan has always been his dream.  Talked to him last night about his brother going and boy he is jealous!  Hopefully in 2 years when he's finished with Nuke school he'll be assigned there.  I have a nephew in Yokosuka right now.  He loves it!  He said he sleeps on the ship though.  He was happy to have a 3 day weekend, but not happy having to go back to the ship every night to sleep.  

I'm still hoping someone on the Japan's group will let me know something about Misawa.  No one yet though.  Most kids seem to go to Yokosuka.  

My son finally left Pensacola and is now doing his sere training. does anyone know if there is a page for Kaneohe. I'm wondering if it would be the Oahu page.

Pamela - Someone needed to start it...  There will be more.  Until then, time to play a song...

Ismile- Welcome to the group. My son is also CTM. The navy actually furnishes all the linens that they need. Mine however wanted a 2nd pillow after he got there. Then cannot have anything with a hot plate in there room like coffee maker.

Your SR will first go to NAS Pensacola for his ATT class. That class is required before they can go to Corry station for there actual A school. They may have a short wait to class up for this class. Mean while they keep them busy with indoc, watch quals, pt and barracks duty. After they finish the ATT class then they will move over to Corry station. Again they may have a small wait for there class to begin.

Your SR will love pensacola and the beach. My son has been there since Mar 18th and will be graduating next friday from A school. He was told he would be there about 18 months but has gotten lucky with not have huge wait times on his class.

If you have any other questions just ask.

@navymom@    Julie  I know he will do great but thinking of him today and wishing him the very best

navymom  so proud of your son!!   congrats to you too!!   Hug the stuffing out of him
