Hi Cathy! My sailor loves prototype over regular classes. Give him a job and food, and he's on it! Glad to have you with us.

Hi all! New to this group. My son is in prototype school in GC and is a Machinist Mate. Just decided to join you all.

they can have laptops, but they use the computers in the library or any location the navy provides. they dont have internet for personal computers. at least thats how it is on my son's ship.

Hi, does anyone know anything about the A training in Pensacola for aviation machinist mate? My son informed me that after PIR, he will only be doing A school in Pensacola for 4 weeks? Does that sound right? The recruiter told me that they have to have 180 days of training before being shipped out. I'm very confused....

Shari--Yes, a month wait is not at all unusual. It can be 2-3 months until they have the class size they want to start a new rotation.

What is GSE/GSM. Maybe then I could check around and see what I have heard of in over the past year.

Hello to all. My daughter just graduated this past weekend from GL. She called last night and said that she is on hold for her "A school" training in GL. Is this normal and is the delay long? Months?
