Profile Information:

A little about me:: We live in Irmo, SC (from NE Cola)and this is my second go-round with boot camp. My son graduated in Dec 2012 and is an Aviation Tech in Virginia with his wife and son. My daughter is in boot camp now with division 320 and will then be a Master at Arms. I'm very proud of my two sailors!
I am here to support my: Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?: Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I...: Was proud and encouraged it
The Navy offers opportunities that...: It really does get better 9after the first two weeks of boot camp!). It helps having one just go through it - but it's still really hard for me to have my "princess" there. It's still different than having my son there- and that was really, really hard, too! But I know the experiences and training they are receiving is invaluable.
Our Navy experience so far...: It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Master at Arms is a rating very dear to my heart since my Sailor is 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/enlisted/rating_info_cards/ma.pdf; 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. See PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) to help you know how to plan your weekend.
