My son Adam signed up for Avionics, (AT) but his eyesight got worse during bootcamp, so he was moved to Storekeeper (SK). He is currently in "A" school in Meridian, MS. Haven't run into anyone else whose sailor is doing this or is in Meridian.

My son Matthew is currently in BC and will PIR July 3. He wanted to do AM,but he was told all those positions were full, so he will head to Meridian MS for "A" school to become a Storekeep (SK). (Or at least that was the plan when he enlisted)

As I've written in other forums, my daughter is going to the Persian Gulf after her A school. How do they get there? By air or by sea? Is it possible that you can be in the navy and never have any time on a ship?

Thats a good question........ I think the answer is yes. It depends on your rate. I dont think Seals are ever deployed on ships, I wouldnt think seebees or corpsmen do ship duty. Probably many rates dont
What rate is your daughter going to be ?

It depends on what she may be doing. My son just spent 8 months in Iraq and they flew on charter flights from the naval station airport. He was on shore duty for his first 3 years and did some work at the police precinct on base. He got on some small boats then. Now he is with the Riverines and they are on boats that patrol the inland waterways.
