My son, Wes, graduated the week after your son (he was officially a sailor 6-13 but they made his division wait another week). He is going to be an AT (Aviation Electronics Technician). This is only an estimation, but I think his schooling will last about 4-6 months. He is still in Great Lakes right now doing the first part of A-school and then in about a month he is going to Pensacola for more. He will be on a ship, probably the flight deck, taking care of all the electronics on aircraft, radar, etc. No I am not on Navy Moms because I didn't know it existed at the time lol. I heard about Navydads by EG's son, James (Evan), at the Mall in Great Lakes. I did however go and check them out about a week ago and read lots of information they had but I am loyal to this site and I don't have time to keep track of both sites lol. Again I am glad you found us here! God Bless, Michele :)

That is neat :). With him in the same state are you able to go see him a lot? I always hear horror stories about Nuculear Sailors, can you tell me more about it? What exactly is their job? Is A-school really long for them? Will Adam be on a sub or ship? God Bless, Michele :)

Jim - Welcome Aboard! How cool we are neighbors :) NC here. When did Adam go to bootcamp? Hope you find all the support, comfort, and answers you seek here. We are an energetic bunch so don't be afraid to ask. . .the group 'Ask A Sailor' is neat too! Look forward to hearing more about Adam and your family. God Bless, Michele :)
