Kristin DEP added a discussion to the group Ask a Recruiter
Aircrew
I asked this question in another forum and was directed here. Hopefully, someone can answer this... I am in Navy DEP and I will be going to boot camp soon. I have been trying to get as much information as possible. My contract says AV, which I understand will then be either AE or AT. I was also told with this rating I can volunteer for Aircrew. I know that some people are contracted AW, but I was told I could also volunteer... Is this true? If so, at what point can I 'volunteer' for Aircrew to…See More

- Welcome to NavyDads.com kristin! I'm sure you'll find NavyDads as useful, educational and informative as I have. Please explore the site and make some new friends. Read the discussions and add your comments. Browse through the postings in the various groups or start a new one. I certainly have! If you have any comments, questions or concerns be sure to post them! In my experience someone here can answer your questions or concerns or can point you in the direction to find out. I'm blessed to have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM3) is stationed on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) recently completed her enlistment on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Kristin this is a great place to brag as well! So join in, get active, and be sure to let us know how you are doing! Please remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors and the fleet in mind. On the right or starboard side of every NavyDads page is an area we call About This Site. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link for some guidelines as to what we should and should not talk about in a public forum.
As a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what you will be going through. In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called A MUST READ for all New Navy Parents. Read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what you will be learning and why. And be sure to check out the videos available in the Bootcamp Group as well.
As PIR draws closer, be sure to spend some time going through the PIR-Tips, Hints and Helps group- we’ve tried to assemble some tips and suggestions to make your PIR more enjoyable. Best Regards- Paul

- Kristin, " Welcome Aboard "
When my son first enlisted I found NavyForMoms in searching for answers to my son's future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads like n4m's but I was wrong. So I started this site so us dads would also have a place to call home. I want to thank you for your commitment to serve our country and to protect its freedom. We dads and moms on here are very proud of all the Sailors seriving in the Navy. Please jump right in and make this site your own. We love our Sailors on here. They have been a big help to us parents and we hope to them as well. Also we will support you throughout your journey in the Navy. We parents on this site are here for anything you need. God bless you in your travels and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG

- Kristin I took the liberty of posting your question in a few other placed in the hopes that someone with a little more knowledge of the contracts might be able to help. I would refer you to one more person on here. Just goes by Craig. He is a former sailor and also is very knowledgeable. You can find him here and I'll stick my neck out and tell you that he also runs another web site geared for DEPPERS and their questions. I'll see if I can find the URL of his site for you.

NavyDads Co-Admin, Tim said… - Welcome aboard Kristin.
I would like to take this time to point you in some of the right directions. For starters if you haven't had the time take a look at the right side of any page you click on. There you will find some useful information for you. The links under the about this site will help you with how this site got started, navigation, PIR, About us, community guidelines and some links to some of the groups that beginners with a lot of questions will find very useful. There is also a link called Navy Enlisted Ratings, this link will take you to a brief description of the rates (jobs) in the Navy that you can find your sailors rate and find out some information about the rate that they are in.
First and foremost though we are all here for the same reason. We are curious about what our young sailors are getting into and for more information about the rate or job that they will be doing for the next 4-6yrs of their lives. I know when I first got here I had lots of questions and there was not a lot of people on this site but they all were either going through the same thing or had been through it and had sailors out in the fleet. Now this site has grown to over 3000 members, Dads, Moms, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, sisters, brothers, girlfriends and boyfriends. Don't be afraid to ask questions of members in here because somewhere along the way we have all had the same questions and asked. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this site with various years of experience in the NAVY either on their own account or through their Sailors.
Again welcome aboard and BRAVO ZULU to you on her enlistment and please thank you for making the choice to defend the freedoms that my family, this country and I have and enjoy.
