Welcome Tracy, my son Erik just starting his M A command in Bahrain. Good luck to kinzie.

Thank You David! I am sure there are a lot of opportunities. She wanted MA because she did not want to push paper, sit behind a computer, or work on mechanical things. She wanted something that she would be active. I know guarding a gate is not terribly active, but for her I think it is better than sitting behind a computer. She is pretty excited right now. I hope she stays motivated for the next few months!

Welcome, Tracey. Gonna be COLD when she gets to basic, but should be nice come graduation. My son Colin graduated last February, and it was frigid.

There's some cool things you can do in MA; my son went for Riverines, so he's not doing traditional MA duties. Just lots more combat training so far.

Best to you and Kenzie.

Hi All... This is my first post to this group.  My daughter Kenzie enlisted in September as an Undesignated PACT Seaman, which made me a bit nervous... I was so proud of her for making the huge decision of enlisting, but very concerned about PACT assignment. Today, she was offered and accepted a rate change to Master at Arms, a rate she was already interested in, and ships out to Basic on February 8th, 2016!  I am relieved that she will have a rate that she is interested in and will ship off to "A" school after Boot Camp!

Thanks Todd,  I figured as much.  It looks like they spend a good deal of time just getting acclimated to the base and their job.

Hi Mark, My daughter had to wait a year before she could start looking at Masters programs.

no Tom, Amber is still in Spain. Her and her husband are in town visiting before he leaves for okinawa. i joined the Reagan group because Amber's best friend is attached to an air wing aboard the Reagan.

Amber still plans on getting out next year.

How is your sailor doing?

Jay....I see that you joined the Reagan Group....Is she carrier-bound?

Does anyone know how long a Sailor has to wait to take college classes once they are deployed? My son is going to Bahrain and he would like to know how the college process works.  He is familiar with the Tuition Assistance program and he knows about the programs offered at NSA Bahrain, he was wondering how long he had to wait before he could start enrolling for course work.
