My son arrived in Charleston two weeks ago and is classing up next week (Nov. 7th) for MM A-school. Class 1206A. Anyone else in the same class?

Thats a good question KS dad. This may helped I skimmed through it and saw a 2 year limitation for filling though. Here is the whole story.

This is a little off topic for this group but since we have numerous Navy vets in this group I'll ask a question that I've not found the answer to. If a Navy pilot dies while flying a sortie is he awarded a Purple Heart medal?

A distant cousin, Larry Gosen, listed on the Virtual Wall does not show a Purple Heart. (Navy Air Medal, National Defense Service, Vietnam Service, Vietnam Campaign are shown) I've added his medals to Larry's memorial and I'd like to add all medals that he is entitled to.

 

Is there a link I that shows the medals a specific veteran has been awarded? Thanks to all who respond in advance.

Mines an EM also. He was never on hold during
his schooling. His proto was in GC. We loved Charleston!
He and his wife are at Kitsap now, Bangor Wash.

Oh he did say that there are a boat load of people on grad hold. He thought it would have been longer before he classed up. He is an EM

My son just graduated Power School in early October and is starting prototype in December. He had 9 or 10 days leave then he was back and will apparently stay on at GC. He had an apartment just before he left. They have real nice places nearby privately and are used to military so it is month to month. Good luck and go to the ceremony, it was very nice. oh and he got some of the bonus money so that was nice too.

I ask for you - I had like 10 days. MMs most likely go on hold after for 2-4 months. Prototype classes up every two months so you could class up right after leave or have e to wait a bit and get some random job while you wait. The only reason you don't get leave is if you have the opportunity to class up right away and want to.

As I remember, the sailors check out of the barracks right after graduation.  They need to have housing set up so they can immediately move.  Our son received leave immediately for 10 days but that does not always follow.  He stayed in GC so I have no information for those who leave for Balston Spa.
