Phases in the Nuclear Pipeline. This is found on the Kansas Navy & Marine group. Compiled from several sources including N4M's.

All sailors are limited as to freedoms for a while in A school. They are "phased up" as they progress. Once in phase 3 they are basically on their own. They have required study time, even on weekends, that is based on how they progress in class, the better they do, the more lenient the study time assigned. As far as I know you could visit any time at all, but again their availability though is up in the air. When we attended our son's Power School graduation in May we stayed at the Quality Inn on Redbank a couple miles from base. Very nice, well kept and very convenient.

My son is already in Balston. Waiting for Prototype school. Just wondering what happens after Prototype school.

My son had to sign out of his barracks also the same day of graduation and received his orders 30 minutes after the ceremony that he was going to Ballston (he semi-knew in advance but was told nothing is definite until you have the papers in hand). He was given 10 days to report to Ballston so he used some leave to spend time at home. His roommate did not use any leave and had 2 days to report to Ballston.

Our son did not know for sure about leave after Power School until a week or so before graduation. As for right after, he stayed there in GC but had to sign out of the barracks the day of graduation. He had to set up an apartment ahead of time but didn't know whether he was staying in GC or going to Balston Spa also until a week or so before graduation. The Navy does not give the sailors much lead time. That is typical of the military though and they learn to live with it. On a different note, we have been advised by the site administrator that it is best not to use last names for security reasons, that is why you see most here have just initials, names with initials or just screen names.

What about the aircraft carrier Nukes? What happens after Prototype?

No they don't go to sub school. He will go for some damage control training between schools and then he'll be assigned to a Sub after prototype. Once on his Sub he'll go through the qualification process and when he's fully qualified he'll receive his dolphins and be a Submariner.

My Son Jason is in power school now and I asked him the same question about sub school. He told me they do not go to sub school after prototype. So if someone knows different I would love to know. Also how about orders after power school? How long after graduation? Jason wants me to book him a flight home with us day after graduation, he hasen't been home since Christmas.
Thanks, Scott S.

Scott, hope your well! My son is in Charleston A school now. Power school starts the first of August. So after prototype it's Groton for sure? Do our guys bye pass the "sub school"? I haven't spent much time studying since BC. Just wondering.
