Navy Dads

Can anyone tell me anything about MA "A" school or where to get information?  My son is in boot camp right now and supposed to go to San Antonio, TX for his "A" school.  He has a degree in Criminal Justice and so his rate will be E3.  His PIR is scheduled for Friday, May 17, 2013.  I don't know when he will ship out to go to "A" school so I do't know how much time I will get to be with him before he goes.  I will be making the trip to Great Lakes all the way from California so it's going to be pretty expensive.  Any suggestions on where to stay in Great Lakes?  Does anyone know how long his MA "A" school will be?  I saw on a NAVY website that they have three places for MA school.  Will my son go to all three of them or will San Antonio be his only MA training?  I am really looking forward to going to his PIR ceremony and seeing him again. I miss him so much.

Congratulations to you and your son, our son Christian is also going to San Antonio, Texas for his Master of Arms training. He's scheduled to graduate on June 7th. Sorry I don't have any info to give you. The only thing that we know is that he graduates on a Friday and leaves that Saturday for A School. Good Luck to you and your son.

Thanks for the info Gary and Jim.  I wish I would have waited to make my reservations now because I booked my flight back home for Sunday evening at 8 PM.  I wonder if I can change it.  Oh well. maybe I'll drive to Cleveland and visit my family back there for a day.  P.S. your doing a great job with this website.  I appreciate it very much.
