Hello all, its been sometime since I have been on this site. My Sailor (son) is out in the fleet but that is all I can say. He is doing get and having a good time, but as stated above

-Don’t discuss current or future destinations/ ports of call/deployment bases .
-Don’t discuss current or future operations or missions.
-Don’t discuss current or future dates and times of exercises or missions.
-Don’t discuss readiness issues and numbers.
-Don’t discuss specific training equipment.
-Don’t discuss people’s names and operations.
-Don’t speculate about current or future operations.

It reminds me of the old WWII post of "loose lips sink ships"
Best of luck to all your sailors.

Meghan, you can google CTR and find out quite a bit about it generally. Some have mentioned places you can be stationed, among them Hawaii, Japan, Ft Meade Maryland, Texas, and even the middle east, they can be deployed. If he graduates in the top 2 or 3 in his class he will get first pick on the assignments that are available at the time. My daughter was 2nd in her class and got her pick......Don't expect to hear anything more than generalities about what he's seen or is doing, it is a highly classified field and from what I've heard a very lucrative field to be trained in for the civilian world.........

Well Molly is finally an offocial CTR as of last Wednesday, she is ready to leave Florida and head to new horizons and a chance to have an actual job and put all of her new knowledge to work. She will be home for Christmas then should have another leave after the release from Pensicola sometime next year then on to the (being very non specific) mountains of WV. Any one know any unclassified info on this duty station? .

Thanks for the congrats Rick, congratulations to you and your daughter on her promotion. I was not aware of the STA-21 program, it sounds quite interesting and should be a great opportunity.

Molly graduates next week, her final is this Friday and hopefully will have her ordersfor her next duty stastion assigned then. The one thing we know is she will be home for Christmas and new years eve.

We just learned that our son could stay an E3 for up to two years because he will be a CTI. It depends on how long the course is for the language he gets assigned.

Congrats Joe and David on both your sons success. My daughter just promoted to CTR-3. She graduated A school earlier this year. The time does go quickly. I would mention to any of our sailors to check out the STA-21 program, (Seaman to Admiral) My daughter is working toward applying for the program. You need to have all your ducks in a row before you apply, but what an awesome opportunity for these young folks. While their civilian peers are racking up enormous college debts, only to find there are few jobs available when they graduate, these young sailors have a paycheck, get a free college education, and become a commissioned officer in the end. I don't think it gets much better than that, if your willing to put in the effort to make it happen.............

Thanks .......... your son should be able to test in May, he should have his 6mts time in grade by then. We found out that he wont be able to come home until sometime in Jan, so we are getting his xmas stuff packed up to send. Mom just sent him a box of cookies ........... 13 lbs 11.8 oz, they should be able to eat for the rest of the year. I am sure it will be cheaper/safer anyways to travel after the mad holiday rush is over.
