Melodie, Johnny just got his orders and will be going to Kings Bay but first he is going to Washington for another school until March. He is not near the top of his class so maybe all ET Coms have to go to a school beyond A school.

The Navy Lodge is also a great place to stay Groton. We were there in August and had a wonderful stay. Fully equipped kitchenette. We also had an adjoining room with my son's mother-in-law so we were able to open up both rooms together when we were all at the Lodge together, giving us more room to spread out. My son had to make the reservations and it was $75/night.

Thanks, Pamela. I'm hoping to go sometime next spring or summer - appreciate the info.

Hey fellow navy Moms:
We just returned from a visit to Groton to see our son and we stayed on base at the new Navy Gateway Inns and Suites. VERY NICE! We did not get the suite, yet it was still very spacious, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. For $56 a night, it was well worth it. Just thought I would pass that along in case anyone else is planning a visit.

It may depend on how many openings there are in a position also.

My son graduated 3rd in his class and to my knowledge "C" school was never mentioned. (Maybe it does not exist for his position, never thought about that! He is a NavET.

Donna,

My son just finished BESS and was put into ATT/TCNO today. He will start A sometime after Christmas if his hold is not too long. Does Johnny have a preference of where he would like to be stationed? Boomer or attack subs?
I've since talked to my son and he said C school is only for the top 2-3 students in A school.

Melodie, When does your son graduate ET comm? My son graduates December 15. He gets his assignment next week for his sub. He has said nothing about C school.

Good question not sure how it works but I know someone here should have the answer....I will also see what I can find out for you.

Does anyone know how C school selections are made for ET comms? Is it only the top ( ? number) of A school ET comms for most of them go on to C school. Where is C school for ET comms? Still at Groton? Thanks for any info you can provide. My son is currently in ET comm A school - Groton. Thanks for your help.

I started a group for the USS Olympia. If you have a loved one on the sub, please join.
Thanks,
Rhonda
