Master at Arms is a rating very dear to my heart since my Sailor was an MA. Join San Antonio MA's; the discussion, Break down week by week, will let you know what happens at NTTC Lackland (San Antonio). You will also want to join MAA Moms. Other groups to check out are New MAA Mom's (it has not been very active) and Security Sailors (it is not very active and includes loved ones of Sailors from other ratings as well).

The Rating Information Card for MA can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/ma.pdf (If you get the security warning, it is safe to go there.); it indicates 9 weeks, but "A" School is 7 weeks after classing up.

Your Sailor will most likely fly out to "A" School the day after PIR. Plan to leave late Saturday or on Sunday. See PIR Day and Liberty during PIR Weekend within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) to help you know how to plan your weekend.

Hi Mamabear - My son left on 9/5 and we got his box on 9/8. I'm leaving the country Friday for 2 weeks, so worried I won't see the letter before I go.

Divisions 347 and 348 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 (BST) together, so look for others with loved ones in either division. Write to your recruit and ask when Battle Stations-21 (BST) will be so you will know when to expect the "I'm a Sailor!" call.

Mamabear use this link it will let you know about the flying out and how you can get permission to meet at the airport.

I would look up MA naval base texas

www.netc.navy.mil/centers/csf/nttc-lackland MA Medical assistance or masters at arms?

I don't want to give you the wrong info mamabear and I don't want to confuse you either

Mamabear I posted some links for you hopefully they will help, google master of arms in texas and it will bring up much information. I just didn't want to give the wrong info but there is a lot of info if you google it. So proud of your Daughter, Master of arms! that is awesome!

I do believe they will pick your daughter up at the airport, she will get instructions before she leaves, and I am sure she will not be the only one. They will not send her not knowing what to do. she will be fine, I can imagine the feeling you have because it is all new. and I am sure she will call and let you know that she is ok.

That is very understandable, You are a Great MOM, I would be the same way. And Thank You for letting me help you, I hope I didn't confuse you any. I just wanted to try to get the right information for you. You have been Great!

Hi Mamabear you ok? were you able to find any info?

Mamabear they do have a face book page also, Well I am glad that you are able to find what you can, I don't want you to overstress your self whatever I can find I will post your way.

I wish you also get a call or letter, please keep me posted on how she is doing, wishing her  all the blessings in her journey!

Mamabear Here is how you get to buckley road from midway with out tolls, but after that you need to put in the address to your hotel.

Head north 2.5 miles on Cicero Avenue toward South Keating Avenue. Enter right onto I-55 N/Stevenson Expressway and continue for 4.4 miiles. Take exit 292A to merge onto I-90/I-94 West continue for 11 miles. Follow I-94 W 13 miles to US-41 North/Skokie Highway. Follow US-41 N 13 miles and take left onto IL-137/Buckley Rd for .8 miles. 

Your welcome anything I can do to help. I didn't have that, I had to research everything just to make our trip with no hassles so I am pretty good at navigating around. LOL! I just want you to enjoy your Loved one! That's what it's about, with no worries. Have a Great Day!

Hi Mamabear wanted to personally thank you for the Hugs and prayers. It really took us all including him by surprise, I was more worried about him because its new to him and he is learning as he goes. So thank You,

Join MAA Moms. There are no groups for your daughter's current location.
