OK, I have a question....Lauren is the top of her AT class. She and two other sailors with gpa's just under hers have been chosen to get some award(?). This is where I'm not sure what to call it. She said they each have to write a paper telling why they deserve it and then go in front of a panel to be questioned. The person that gets the award(?) will get a bump in rank.

Laurens thinking she is not gonna get it even though her GPA is over 3 points higher than these other sailors. See, she made E-3 in July and these other guys are only E-1's. She said these other sailors are ground AT's and not aircrew.

Does anyone know what this "thing/award" is?? And does it matter if you've gone up in rank recently??

Hey Carly....when my daughter was on hold for Aircrew from Feb to May, Phase 2 had overnight liberty on weekends(unless they had duty that weekend). But it got taken away in late May due to a bunch of the numbnuts (my daughters words) getting in trouble. Apparently it gets given/taken away quite often. So have him check...they may have it back.

Okay cool thanks for the info. Yeah my bf thinks that he won't have duty because of the way they split up the groups- let's hope!

Hi Frenchie, I too have a son on a P-3 at Kaneohe Bay, bet they know each other.

Lauren has dog duty over Thanksgiving, so no leave for her.

Hopefully Christmas. She told me last night that they let duty groups a & b go home for a week or so and then duty group c & d get to go home. So if they dont get Christmas day, at least they are home right before or after.

Rumor has it that Thanksgiving will be a 4-day deal, Thurs. thru Sun. Or Wed. night thru Sun. night. That's always assuming they don't have watch or something.

Yay! I just booked the flight from Sacramento to Pensacola for Thanksgiving =) I'm so excited! He is gonna be phase 2 next week. He has heard rumors about when Thanksgiving break officially starts, but he is not sure. Anyone have any ideas? Most people think it is Wednesday night & then Monday is school again.
