My SR will be going to Texas for corpsman school. Thanks CrystalGayle525 for the info on the bussing the the middle of the night to the airport- I had no idea. When do they get their flight information? before PIR or after? I've never gotten a gate pass before...what do I have to do to get one?

Thanks!

I booked my airline tickets and reserved my room at the Navy Lodge.  Now I just have to wait for January 30th.  So excited.  

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 17, 2014 at 4:06pm

crystalgayle525 - Sailors going to school other than GL usually fly out on Saturday. Occasionally it has been Sunday for various reasons, one being simply flight availability.

They are bussed to their airports in the wee hours of the morning sometime between 1-3 AM. All go at once no matter what time their flights are that day...from early AM into the evening. 

You may meet them at the airport to say goodbye and give them their electronics and one set of civies. They won't need the civies until they phase up to where they can wear them but it is good to have at least one pair if it happens quickly. You can arrange to send them the rest.

I'll have a post about meeting your sailor to add later on.

gonto? What's a gonto? LOL

Go to...

Comment by Vickie360 on December 17, 2014 at 3:56pm
Did he have a specific job when he left or did he sign up for the A PACT Program where they try out different jobs before they choose? From
My understanding all aviation go to Florida.
Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 17, 2014 at 3:55pm

Mrsjeni - Hello. It wouldn't be in his form letter. The Form Letter pertains to boot camp.

He would've had to have told you his actual rating. If you have a copy of his enlistment papers it would be on there. Or, you can write him and ask for his rating. Then come back and we'll find the school for you.

Most aircrew fields gonto Pensacola Florida... but that's only a generalized observation on my part ;-) 

I'm sorry today is so hard. Here is a hug Hug from behind

Comment by Mrsjeni on December 17, 2014 at 3:26pm
How do I know where my sons A school is? Wasn't in his form letter. And haven't recieve any mail from him directly .... yet. He's in Ship 13 Div 82. When he left he said he wanted to work on the planes; fixing and learning how they work. Any info would be really helpful. I'm having a real hard time today, missing him terribly.
Comment by crystalgayle525 on December 17, 2014 at 12:56pm

Does anyone know if the SR that are leaving GL for A school if they leave on Saturday or Sunday?

Comment by Dana on December 17, 2014 at 12:52pm

Thank you so much for the information.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 17, 2014 at 12:27pm

Dana - Gas Turbine Systems Technicians are either Electrical Techs or Mechanical Techs. The abbreviations for the Ratings are GSE/GSM or sometimes you will just see GS.

His A school will be in Great Lakes , Illinois right up the street from RTC on the mainside base. He will have daytime Liberty PIR day, after attaching to TSC GL (Training Support Center Great Lakes), Saturday and Sunday. INDOC (indoctrination) takes about 3-5 hours on Friday and then he will be released for Liberty.
