Comment by Shane Snyder on September 7, 2010 at 10:24pm: well orginally he was going to go into SWCC (almost a SEAL, they are the boat crews that do the insertion and extraction of SEALS) but he did not score high enough on the written test to be accepted into that (actually it turned out for the best as I thought he should make sure he liked the Navy before embarking on special ops stuff). So he decided on the MA (actually I think it was because I am in Law Enforcement etc). but he found out about the MSF and that sort of stuff during A school. He also spent just under a year on the delayed entry program and spent most of his time hanging out with the recuriters so he was very motivated by the time he went in.

Comment by Clemmis Futrell on September 7, 2010 at 8:10pm: It appears the MA rate is open to train those that are enthusiastic and have done well. I am glad Sean is doing well and enjoying the ride. It it great information and thanks for sharing. Did Sean know about the various opportunities before he enlisted or during A school? Did he request the additional training during A school?

Comment by Shane Snyder on September 7, 2010 at 7:24pm: Clemmis:

Sean went to "A" school in Texas then right to Gulfport Miss for some additional training for about 4 weeks or so then to San Diago for more training another 4-6 weeks then off to Bahrain. Sean wanted to get MSF (Mobile Security Force) and asked for it. He kept telling us that he wanted to go to Bangor (sub base here in WA.) but I found out later he really asked to go to MSF (which now I really believe was the right choice for him) as he really is doing well and enjoys it alot. I think that Jim's son was along the same path only he went to "working dog" school in Texas then to Bahrain.

Comment by Clemmis Futrell on September 7, 2010 at 2:45pm: Shane and Jim did your son's have a US duty station before going to the middle east?

Comment by Shane Snyder on September 6, 2010 at 10:20pm: Yeah to be 19 again.

Comment by Jim Santucci on September 6, 2010 at 7:22pm: Shane - sounds like Sean is living the dream, huh? That must be why Chris keeps telling me he wants to go to Dubai.

Chris: when will your son head to Lackland? He's going to love A school.

Comment by Shane Snyder on September 6, 2010 at 3:04pm: Hey Jim:

I got one for you, talked to Sean the other day he is up in Dubai went snowboarding and is staying in a 5 star resort, loves Dubai and is getting a extra $160 a day on top of regular wages.

Comment by Jim Santucci on September 6, 2010 at 1:46pm: Just got a phone call from my son Chris (currently serving in Bahrain). Called to tell me that, today, he "got to got to carry around a weapon, play with a dog, and get on a submarine....all while getting paid tax free money". He wasn't allowed to tell me much about the sub. Chris is 6'3" and 220lbs. He thought the sub was cool, but is very glad he's not assigned to one.

Comment by Elbert Steven Rakes on September 6, 2010 at 12:29am: Lawrence I think your daughter is doing fine and is in good care they are just checked her out, if she has any serious problems she or the Navy would have notified you by now. No news is sometime good news !!! Maybe try the Red Cross to see if they could found out how your daughter doing. Thanks to all for the Congrats. I just a proud Father as I am sure you are !!! I will let you know Clemmis if I get some news about MAA "A" school : )

Comment by Nadine Connors Genova on September 5, 2010 at 3:56pm: Thanks Shane. I will pass the info onto him.
