Any thoughts on sailors that have gone through this program.

Comment by J & G's Mom(AK Mom) on October 5, 2010 at 4:54pm: I would have like to attend so I could have met all his bromines (Rat Pack) who he share many a good time with over the 4 months. Yes, A school is a great time to enjoy/remember. Yes, after cracking the books for 8hrs/day for weeks, the goal is to move on and head out to the fleet.

Comment by John Frank on October 4, 2010 at 9:20am: When they come in singing "anchors aweigh" gave me chills, and you get the opportunity to take pictures with classmates and instructors...

Comment by Alan Kozak on October 4, 2010 at 8:45am: Thanks for all your possitive comments. Making plans to attend.

Comment by Ric Wrye on October 4, 2010 at 8:39am: Alan and Eric - My son graduated from A school some time ago and we still remember the experience. I would recommend it if it is possible to make it.

Comment by Eric Hoaglin on October 4, 2010 at 7:49am: Thanks for the last comment, I was just wondering the same thing, my daughter just started A school and is scheduled to graduate in Feb.

Comment by John Frank on October 2, 2010 at 9:19pm: Alan,
I went to my son's graduation in May and would highly recommend going if you can. It was much smaller and more personal than the PIR graduation.

Comment by Alan Kozak on September 30, 2010 at 12:35pm: My son is due to graduate A-School in November.
Has anyone been to Hospital Corpsman graduation?
My wife and I would like to go. Any suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks
Alan

Comment by Dennis on September 29, 2010 at 6:41pm: Kevin, thanks for your prayers for my son. In a letter I recieved today he said God has worked in amazing ways keeping them safe. Likewise I will remember your wife, son and you in mine. God is still in the healing business. Take care. Dennis
