Cheri (L.A. FT Mom) commented on Jim Harper's group NAVY SUB SCHOOL-DADS"I live in CA and my son started BC on Dec 18, 2010. He went directly to CT for BESS and from there directly into all of his school. He never was able to come home until Dec 13, 2011."
Cheri (L.A. FT Mom) commented on NavyDads Group Admin, Gary's group Proud Californians"Congrats to your son. My son is STILL waiting to meet up with his boat. He spent the last month with some anti-terrorist training where he was OC Sprayed, hand to hand combat and weapons training. He like the shooting part a lot…"
Cheri (L.A. FT Mom) commented on Jim Harper's group NAVY SUB SCHOOL-DADS"Rick there are 4 schools for all SECF's including STS but it takes about 1 year from boot camp to graduating A-School. "
Cheri (L.A. FT Mom) left a comment for John"I didn't quite figure it out what my original question was why do some do weapons training and others do not. More curious than anything else"
John left a comment for Cheri (L.A. FT Mom)"I am glad you figured it out, Cheri. Glad he is doing well. Have you found the Facebook page that each of the different Submarine Groups have ? Which ever Group your son is assigned to, you should look at all the info and discussions there, if…"
Cheri (L.A. FT Mom) left a comment for John"My son said the weapons training was M16's and other weapons they use on watch. He said it wasn't on base (but he wasn't leaving his base for training) So I assume the training is nearby where they come back to the base every…"
Cheri (L.A. FT Mom) commented on Leonard's group Submariners"My son is suppose to go to weapons training somewhere off base but near the base before he is deployed. Why do some submariners do this training and some do not (my son is an FT)? Oh and why do some guys end up doing duty/watch more than…"
Cheri (L.A. FT Mom) commented on Leonard's group Submariners"Thanks Pete! What state does he file for? He has been in CT since Dec 2010 and is staying there so I assume he it will be CT and not here in CA.
Thanks for all of your help!
Cheri"
Cheri (L.A. FT Mom) commented on Leonard's group Submariners"A general question: My son has been receiving his tax info and such in the mail. What if they are deployed before they get their taxes done?
I know he's an adult but he never had taxes before and he probably doesn't know…"
Cheri (L.A. FT Mom) commented on Leonard's group Submariners"Thanks Mike K! That makes complete sense!"
Cheri (L.A. FT Mom) commented on Leonard's group Submariners"My son is waiting to meet up with his sub for his first deployment. He says he is in "l Div" right now. What is that? A pre-deployment mode of some sort. "
