Ashley, my son had his orders from A School to ISM C School and was assigned to Mobile Communication Team SPECWARGRU1 San Diego. My husband works as an Electronic Engineer at SPAWAR, the Navy's RDT&E and Lab for Navy's Information Dominance C4ISR Systems, so both my Navy son and husband talk technical a lot and are closer and bonded even more, Software Radio, COMs and Networks, most of the stuff is need to know, so they tell me that doesnt have a need to know. My son being in SPECWARCEN community likes his command very much so and is in good physical shape even more, ihis duty is considered sea tour but he is on land most of the time since he finish all his schooling since Feb. 2012, he got out of GL May of 2011. After ISM C schoo about 3 months longl, they will send your son to a couple of two week system specific classes. he will learn a couple of C5ISR systems and will conrol Radio's through software, hence they call them software radio's nowdays. My husband being a techy/engineer himself is just to happy for our Navy son, they end up on the same specialty and can really relate to one another. ISM's NEC are also a necessity on ships as they have a lot of COM's and Networks on them as well. My husband says our son couldnt be in any more interesting arena in Electronics, Communication and Networks in the Navy, considering they were both looking at Nuke Field which my son qualified just two years ago (time went so fast) when they were talking to the recruiter then. Our navy sailor have come a long ways and is enjoying his tour and on top of it all, heck they gave him San Diego which is home for us. Good luck and God Bless.

I'm also interested in more information here. My son told me he was going to C School for ISM, but have been having trouble finding info about it. I know he also is interested in spec war comm, so wondering if all ISM is directed in this field. If you can't tell, I haven't a clue what I'm talking about and my son doesn't communicate it well, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cocerneddad, you mentioned your son is interested in spec war comm, am not sure if its a matter of choice, in my son's case as an ET, he was given an ISM-C school and SPECWARCEN as his command. I bellieve ET's when they do come out of A school, they will wait for orders for C school and a corresponding command. This is when they basically just wait for what C scholls and command they are going to report to after C schooling. In the case of our son, he graduated ET A school as a DMG and they gave him San Diego (his only wish list), ISM and SPECWARCEN. Form what i gathered from our son, everything is actually where the Navy needs you, or where the Navy thinks they could use the skills and talents they have availlable . The main priority of the Military nowdays is very much focused on Special Operations and that includes the Navy,, prior to your son going to ISM and if he will get SPECWARCEN for his command which comes together with his C-School as an ET, they will be upgrdaing his security clearance and from then on he will be talking less if not none at all about his Electronics job, he will be doing great things for the country but cant talk about it nor can you find information about their stuff. Our family comes from a faithful Catholic and our faith in God is really all we have to count on while he is doing his Navy tour. God Bless our Military and this country of ours, AMERICA.
