A school for mineman

[John Alan DeMarco]

Does anyone know if there is a potion of mineman a school at Great Lakes?

[Phillip Gibbons]

Is your Sailor still at Great Lakes or has he moved on to CA? My son will also be a MN and stayed at GL after PIR, 9/30.

Congrats to your son. My son is still at GL. In apprentice technical training. He is supposed to be done 10/28. 2 weeks ahead of time.

My son told us yesterday he is still waiting to be put in a class. It's difficult to find much information on this rate. Have you had much luck finding any groups?

[John Alan DeMarco]

What types of groups are you referring too? If there were a way you could find out when the last AAT class finished versus it starting on 9/15. Maybe you could get a gauge. Originally they told my son it would be up to 30'days, but it made 1 week later. I am not sure how many are in his class, he has told me they push the pace and it is all on computers. It shows a 43 days program, but it looks like they will finish around 2 weeks early. Most of what I have found out about mineman is thru him telling me. Here is a link if you haven't seen it.

He is on the Essex. I've read about all I can find on it. There just aren't many of them in the fleet.

[John Alan DeMarco]

I thought my son told me they were all there on the Missouri. Who knows. Yes mineman are a small community. That is one reason my son was upset about the ratings because he is proud to becoming a mineman.

Philip I was speaking to my son yesterday and he said the instructors said there is a new ATT class starting next week.

[Phillip Gibbons]

My son still hasn't heard anything. He's hoping it's soon though.

[Phillip Gibbons]

My son was classed today.
