Be sure to check out the discussion, Things to Do in the Last Month before Your Future Sailor Leaves for....  At the bottom are links for each of the months, join the one for the month that your then future Sailor ships. 

I also suggest you join Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and begin checking out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions there.

Your future Sailor may want to join http://www.navydep.com to learn the ins and outs from the DEP point of view.  

Arrival and What Happens at the RTC within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will let you know what will happen and what to expect.

Be sure to join your PIR group once you get The Form Letter, which now arrives 9 to 14 business days after the recruit's arrival at the RTC in most cases. 

Aviation Support Equipment Technician (AS) has “A” School in Pensacola, FL at Naval Air Station Pensacola. Join AS Moms and Pensacola, FL A School: NAS and Corry Station and check out Airman Family and Friends.

The Rating Information Card for AS can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/as.pdf. (If you get the security warning, it is safe to go there.) There is more info for you in https://www.thebalancecareers.com/navy-enlisted-rating-job-descript.... 

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.

Thank you for the friend request.
