    No info on IT A/C Schools. My son was at Corry Station as aCTN (down the road from NAS).I belive he had said there were IT's in his A school classes but there wasn't much interaction because of the different ratings and while they all followed a general guideline, the details of each ratings classes he wouldn't/couldn't go into. He is still at Corry, but can't talk much about where he actually works and what he does, so most of our emails deal with the lousy Ohio weather vs his weather.

    David, how long was it before he finished C? CTI is so much different from other rates it is very confusing. With him going to language school the length of time is different, depending on which language they assign him. It could be 8 months or 2 years.

    considering that they dont have to leave the "ships" barracks to do anything they might not even know there is snow!

    Thanks Dave for the quick return. Information is very helpful. Sure I may need more later. Sounds as if your son is off and running for a great career. Tell him thanks for the service and best of luck. Bill

    Thanks for the tips David. I know about the long trips. I have done many of them. That was a long one for you and you’ve got to do it again in less than two weeks. Fortunately for us the trip from Atlanta to Pensacola is not that bad. We will be going I-85 to I-65 to 29/113. Rudy Tuesday sounds good. We will do that one night.

    Hey David, congratulations on your son on completing “C” school. How was the trip to Pensacola? We are driving down to see our son this coming weekend for the first time. We had 20 minutes with him at PIR and that is all since he went in on Dec. 2nd. He just got Phase II liberty and we are finally going to have Christmas with him.

    Thanks for the info David, my son was in boot camp during Christmas and we were planning on celebrating with him during PIR weekend. He ended up being grad-n-go and we got less than an hour with him. We wanted to wait and go down when he could leave the base if it is not to long. He called last night with a list of things he wants us to bring him. We will have to see how it goes.

    I know your son will be glad to graduate soon. Have a safe trip to Pensacola. Are you driving down? We will be driving from Atlanta.

    I wish knew you were over there. There as another Dad, Steve, there as well. We could have let the women sit together and we should have shared a table. I was starved so I was focusing on the food myself. Next meeting is in March. It will be at the Fairlawn/Bath Library and then we will head over to the Winking Lizard for lunch.
