It depends if he is a four year STG or a 6 year STG AEF.

If he is an AEF he will have to attend ATT at great Lakes before going to A school.

My son PIR from BC was 06 mar 2015, he just went to San Diego for A school yesterday.

Thanks, jillymom!  We decided to go anyway.  We live in Georgia, but I'm originally from Santa Cruz, California.  We are going to make a vacation of it, and hit my old stomping grounds!  And, I can't imagine eating pizza all in white!!  That's funny!

I attended one of several mini-grads during the stages of sonar school. There were about 25 of us for as many grads. They kept having to add chairs and said it was the most that had ever attended. Sailors without attendees went out for pizza (in dress whites-lol) together afterward. Not necessary to be there; I just happened to be in town.

Thanks so much, Navymommo and abuon!  I was clueless, (although, I've heard that before!)  We'll have to rethink going, because it's a big expense, and this is the third year in a row that we have a child getting married!  I appreciate the help!

Comment by navymommo on February 26, 2015 at 10:56am
We attended our son's graduation from stg also. Though we were the only guests, we were made to feel very welcome and appreciated. We met instructors and co as well as our sons friends. It was short and sweet. I'm happy we attended. Stayed in Solana beach And our son spent every available minute with us! We had a great time!

Graduation from sonar school is pretty casual compared to boot camp PIR. Most don't have any friends or family members attend. I attended my husband's A school graduation because I had just moved to San Diego and wasn't working at the time. Out of his class of 15 I was the only guest. You will go and hang out with them in the classroom for a bit before then walk up to another classroom for the "ceremony". They had one chair in a corner for me to sit in. The whole ceremony took about 20 minutes, for everyone to receive their certificates then they all took pictures. After that they had the rest of the afternoon off so we all went to lunch. Honestly I felt really awkward and out of place. They don't expect guests to attend. If you are going to travel to San Diego, I suggest going when you know he will have time off to spend a few days with you Instead because they go right back to work on Monday, sooner if they have duty.

We plan to attend our sons pir from sonar school. Does anyone know how many guests they can have attending? Had it traditionally been in the morning?
Thanks, just trying to make plans!
Comment by Radtechmom on February 22, 2015 at 6:32pm

I'm so glad to have found this!   My husband and I felt out of the "loop" in regards to basic training, and knew nothing about "meet and greet"!  We are certainly proud of him, and plan to attend his PIR from A school.  Whoo Hoo!
