So, I haven't heard from FC1 Officer in some time. I deleted all the info here because it is probably wildly out of date. When I can get more current information I will post it here again. I'll see if my son can get me some new information.

well all my son ant has half way thru C school at san diego and he tells me the tests are hard but is more relaxed he spends a lot of time in the gym and working out and studying at the end of sept he takes a test to be sec class petty  and then gets orders in october when they finish up since being at the top of the class has its perks hell get to pick orders first san diego is not all its cracked up to be for i feel nat will choose hawaii or va to be closer to home but ill know when he tells me keep sending them the packages by mail for one rate surprises are always a lift me up for them from home nat should get orders for a ship them but he knows he is on a frigate and there decomissioning them and selling them so hell end up back in shcool for another weapon training....keep ther spirits up when u talk to them your support is always a big plus even in this stage.They find out that even some roommates can be worse than living at home lol its funny in a way but welcome to the real world so to say people are different and work through things this has made our son become more a man then anything in his life we are more proud of him as a accomplished sailor as we are what the navy haas done to mature him into an adult with responsiblilities!!!

Hello all,

My son graduated 7/15/11 and is at GL waiting A school. He is, or will be, a FC. He recently moved to another building as his had no AC and was scheduled to be torn down. Kind of anxious to know what is in store for him like how long is his A school, how long is C school etc. Any info is appreciated. Thanks all.

hello everyone...My bro just got orders to damn neck va. a few days ago.  It's been a while since I have checked into Navy Dads but its such a great place to find out info on our loved ones.  He is so ready to get out of GL but was a little disapointed he didn't get San Diego bc we live here in Cali..but Im excited for him to see the other parts of the country and the world soon..He can't wait to get out on a ship but he is going to have to wait for a bit longer..Much love to all the sailors who serve us proud and the families that support them!

Chuck- I asked hubby where he was bunking and he said he is also in the Enterprise, he said they need to start preparing to be moved since they are tearing down that building. He said it sucks that they havent had any AC :(

Marcy L - My son Zak also graduated last Friday 7/8. He too is FC, waiting to start ATT. He is currently bunking in the Enterprise while waiting for a permanent  berthing assignment.

Sandy: Wow, thats a long time! Hubby said he should be done with A school/ATT Feb 7th. So, it sounds like it does take awhile for everything. Right now i am SD, and he is GL... been debating about moving to GL. I dunno if its a good idea or not.

Marcy, My son graduated from (A)school 9 weeks ago. He just got orders for (C)school, CWIS in Nam Neck, VA. He said that all his class are heading there in September. Including one of his boot camp ship mates.

My son's PIR was 8/6/10 so he has been at GL for almost a year.

Congratulations to your hubby.

Hi Everyone! I just found this forum and was excited to see that there are people who have sailors in the same field. My hubby just graduated last week, so he is currently in great lakes getting ready for school.

 

I did read some of the posts on here and see many of the sailors are headed off to C School in San Diego. I am from San Diego and i still live here, so if any of you ever need tips or advice i can help :)

Chris graduates tomorrow.  Picked orders awhile ago, but I don't think there's any real ryhme or reason to when that happens.

In fact, he still doesn't know if he's going to get leave when he grads, which is kinda crazy I think, seeing as it's one day away?  LOL

 

That's the Navy for ya ;)
