CO-TwinSalorsMom - or others who've BTDT...

can you tell me the three phases of IT training (A school)? i talked to my son yesterday and he said the first phase is:

phase1 ; A+ and is 6 weeks
phase2 ; CCNA - ?

phase3; ILE?

I have no idea if those acronyms are correct and/or what they stand for...or the length of the training. 

thanks for any info.

New to group. My son arrived last night, Aug 2. He classes up Aug 11. Sounds like he won't have to wait around as long as others have. He gets bored easily so that's good. His buddies from BC that are in Pensacola are at NAS. Do they ever see each other?

My son is IT Bravo Class as well .  Been in P'cola since June 1st.  I wish I could say that the homesickness subsides but some times I think it gets worse.  My son is fine all week when busy with school.  But come time for the weekend and he is lost.  He had no problem making buddies in BC but he says that most of the guys he is with now are either loners or clicks.  My son is a very funny guy, everything is funny to him!  Its so hard to see him this way. I went down for the long July 4th weekend (we live in NY City) he was fine when we left.  But, His room mate just received his orders so he is leaving today.  His other buddy over in NAS rec'd orders a few weeks back. Hope he gets a good room mate fast.  He's a people person so I think he'd go stir crazy if he was alone.  But you are all so right...this is just a microcosm of regular life and we just have to trust that these strong folks will get through it

My Son was Bravo over a year ago. Now is IT on USS Bainbridge, A destroyer. Has deployed once June till January.

Sea*mom - thanks for your comments!  Sounds like your son is getting into the swing of things, especially now that classes have started for him.  I am sure once classes begin for my son, things will look a lot brighter.  I am not exactly sure what he is doing now with his days.  I think he might be a little bored, with too much time to think about missing home.

my son is IT on bravo shift as well

Comment by MartyC on July 30, 2014 at 10:55am

Miss Conception  - thank you so much for looking out for him!  I gave him a heads up via text last night about you, and that if you were able to find him, that you may strike up a conversation with him.  I will tell him to look for the "old lady" or the "mamma"!  :)  He texted last night that yesterday was an "ok" day and that he was feeling a little better.  I know once classes start and he gets into a routine that it will get better for him.  I just want him to be happy.

And about going to an empty room...after bootcamp togetherness, an empty room is a blessing from God. He should enjoy it while he can.
Comment by Miss Conception on July 30, 2014 at 3:19am
Bravo shift is the best! And really, just being classed up makes a huge difference with meeting people. Everyone is so friendly here and we have tons of breaks during the school day where we congregate outside and talk. He is going to very soon forget about how bored he was.

Miss Conception

my son is on bravo shift...don't know how he got so lucky as he is a total nightowl and always has been.

he mentioned that he might be moving again...sigh...but i see it as a good thing - just to have other people around, so you aren't so isolated. (too easy to shut everyone off/out when you go home to an empty room every night)

my son is not shy and has been a 'team player' his entire life so i'm sure he'll find a new 'team'...i'm just hoping it's sooner rather than later. :)
