Hi all! Katie and Steve's mom - make sure you join NUKE MOMS if your guys are at/going to GC. My son son is in Prototype/ELT in NY waiting for boards and will be stationed in Groton CT on the USS San Juan 751. A school seems forever ago and I dont remember all the liberties but there are a lot of knowledgeable moms over there. Also check out the NNPTC under the video section, it gives you a little insight on the facilty.
Congrats on your sailor!!

My son is in A school at GL for MM, so I only know about GL...sort of. In phase 1 liberty they can go off base on weekends, in uniform, but have to be back at 8 or 9 pm. I think he went to phase 2 liberty after about 3 weeks. Then he was able to wear civies and have off base liberty from Friday evening to Sunday evening. It may depend on the individual sailor. When the sailors go off base they have to go out in 3's. They have to sign out together and are responsible for each other and if one gets into trouble they all get in trouble. I just went to visit my son and because he was leaving by himself I had to sign him out on Friday and back in on Sunday.
Hope this helps you.

I have been trying to a staight answer about this when i realized all of you moms would be perfect to ask, my boyfriend, kirk wants to know how long each phase lasts and what are you allowed to do and not allowed to do there like, staying off bases over night and what phase he can go out in his civies?

Well Justin said that A school is all computer classes for MM. He said that you can work ahead if you can. He likes A school and likes his 2 roommates he is consider the oldie at almost 20 in Dec. He was suppose to get phased up today but has to wait till thurs. he said thats ok because he can study some more before thurs. How is everything going with all the other MM and their mom's or aunt's.
