I am here to support my: Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?: Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I...: Was concerned or afraid
The Navy offers opportunities that...: From the research I have done, I am very encouraged. I was afraid at first because he is my son, and as a parent you never want your child in harm's way. I know that God's hand is on him, so now I am in the find out as much as I can about his new adventure in life. I recently watched the faces of the Navy, and this really helped to calm my fears. I am very proud of my son for making this decision, I just have to adjust to the 'see you laters' -- below he hasn't gone to BC yet; but I can already see a difference in him waiting to leave.
Our Navy experience so far...: It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

If he gets a contract for Aircrew (AIRC), join AIRCREW, Sailors In Pensacola, FL For A School....Corry Station too!!, and Parents of A School Sailors in Pensacola and check out Airman Family and Friends.

Your Sailor will most likely fly out to "A" School the day after PIR, but may fly out on Sunday due to flight availability issues. Plan to leave on Sunday if you are able. See PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend to help you know how to plan your weekend.

Your Sailor will be assigned to a class "A" school for a rating within the AIRC program while in Naval Aircrew Candidate School (NACCS). That assignment will be based on his/her test scores, personal desires, needs of the Navy, and continued eligibility for the aircrew program. The Rating Information Card for AIRC can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/aircrew.pdf; the one for Naval Aircrewmen Mechanical (AWF) can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/awf.pdf; the one for Naval Aircrewmen (Operator) (AWO) can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/awo.pdf; and the one for Naval Aircrewmen (Avionics) (AWV) can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/awv.pdf.

I hadn't heard that a recruit could change ratings without good cause.
