Todd, Follow this link for a description of the IS rate. It may give you and idea of what to expect. As far as what he actually will be doing, we don't have a high enough security clearance. LOL!

Hi everyone my Son just graduated from C school and has been home on leave. He is in the FID duty sea duty and land duty. Will be heading to his first duty station in Washington DC. Hid visit was way to short. What are some expectations for his first duty on sea as an IS?

Hiya Dan C. everyone goes to Dam Neck, Va for A and C school. Great little town. And yes, standard three years sea two year shore for the new personnel. I will say if he wants to progress SS George Washington in Yokosuka, Japan. Now his shore duty is SubGru7 in Yokosuka. I think he likes Japan. If he takes sea duty first he will also get his TDY out of the way. He may be assigned to the galley, MA or anywhere else they need help.

Hello Everyone,

My sailor will leave for GLRTC in less than four weeks and his rating is IS, his brother is on the Nimitz so we have a taste for Navy life.  Is there anything we should know about IS rating?  Do they all go to Va., or is there another A school.  Read they are assigned C school, Are they in the normal land sea rotation for assignments? Anything you could tell us to better prepare us for his future in the Navy would help.  thanks

Good to find this group. Our daughter just finished C school and headed to her first post. Couldn't be a more proud Navy Dad! This is our 2nd child in Navy....my grandfather was one of frogman in WWII in South Pacific. He always told stories of how they got to blow stuff up so marines to be able to land.

My daughter (pictured here) is shown in her Sea Cadet NWUs.  When she enters the Navy, she aspires to becoming either a Cryptologic Technician Interpretive (CTI) or Foreign Area Officer (FAO), depending on whether she enters the enlisted ranks or becomes an officer.  She already has acquired, from courses shes taken, a fair knowledge of Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic.

Every time I see this picture it fills me with pain and discomfort to think that many people (especially some of today's young people) see the business of being a man or woman who served the Armed Forces as something stupid or a waste of time . They take so lightly the freedom that we have in this great Nation. Even with all the situations that may be happening within politics and economy in this country, Never the less, our freedom and our opportunities are unique in the world! But like everything in life, everything has its price and our men and women of the Armed Forces (Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Navy and Marines) are the ones paying the price for us to continue enjoying that freedom and to help others to achieve that same freedom that they eagerly want. God richly bless all these men and women who know the true meaning of "Sacrifice" and those who lost their lives in trying to defend our freedom, God have close to Him, in great mercy! I honor the name of each the fallen men and women lost in combat, but also honor the parents of those men and women for having brought them into this world. OUR HEROES! HOOYAH!!!
