Should be do-able. Comfort east coast, Mercy West coast. There are study groups available every day. EPO works with them. What you put in you will get out. If he studies he should do fine.

Anyone notice the first casualty of HBO's The Pacific last night? That stunk.

Thanks for the info. He did well in high school in those subjects. He isn't planning on going green, but if they need him to, he'll go. He just graduated on Friday and his division was the best out of the bunch. I w as glad to hear that. I heard there are study groups available if you need them. Do you know anythign about those? I know he wants to ge tonto the USS Comfort if possible. We'll see what he tells us this week.

Navy Pops "Cameron's Dad,
Welcome to the family. Our son was on hold in GL for two weeks before classing up. The school gave him an orientation the day he moved over to the Main base side from BC. This is where they will give him a text book to start studying. Everything they teach is read right out of the book, so tell him to read and remember. study study study is the key to success. They will do two pre class lectures on finance and a basic life saftey test, then class up. There are 12 test and several labs to pass before A-school graduation. 14 weeks for most after they begin class.
They must get 70% or above on tests or they fail and have to retake test. They are not allowed to fail more than two tests, so make sure he studies. The FMTB , FMF question is more difficult. All males are supposed to go to FMTB sometime after A-school. FMF is after FMTB is the sailor is going green with Marines, Not all will go green. Some classes all males go straight to FMTB, others go straight to fleet hospitals or C-schools. If your son had Algebra, Chemistry and some Science courses in High school or College and keeps his test average above 85%, then he stands a good chance to get advanced medical training in a C-school. Hope this helps

Hello everyone. My son starts HM A school today. What can he expect? He is at Great Lakes. We just got back from his graduation last night. What a great time seeing him. Does anyone know if every corpsman goes to FMF training?

NEX is the Navy EXchange store. It's a store on the larger Navy bases. They can carry big selection of items depend how large the store is. They price are usually cheaper then what you can find off base. They have food/groceries to clothing to electronics to jewelry. There is a good size one at GL.
