Jersey Sam my daughter is in Div 110 as well. I haven't heard from her either. I'm anticipating a call after they complete Battlestations.

Kelso12, my daughter is going to A school in Mississippi. I somehow heard her saying that she's flying out on Sat.

My daughter is going to A school in Mississippi as well. What is your daughters rate? I will private message you with their Battlestations date since we are not supposed to post the dates here.

email me? don't understand 'rate'

Rate is their job classification. For instance my daughters rate is AZ, aviation maintenance administrationman.

Rate - is for Enlisted personnel in the Navy, it basically refers to their Pay Grade E-1 to E-6. But it gets a little more technical once they make E-4 as they often combine the rating with the rate and call irt "rate". (This is for those that have gone to an "A" school and have a designated job.

*A United States Navy enlisted rate indicates where an enlisted Sailor stands within the chain of command, and also defines one's pay grade. An enlisted sailor's rate is similar conceptually to a naval officer's rank. Only Naval Officers carry the term "rank" in the Navy. The word rate refers to an enlisted sailor's pay grade, while the word rating refers to one's area of occupational specialization within the enlisted Navy.*

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 

Rating - is the Occupational Speciality that a Sailor has trained for.

Here are some links for further explanation :-):

I was actually still typing this (I'm slow) when you posted kelso! So I hadn't seen your post :-) No worries!
It can be complicated (this "rank and file" thing) little thing can't it? :-)
Do you know that they learn about all the branches? Yup, it is important when meeting someone from another branch and knowing wether to salute them or not!
