    Patrice,

    You might not get to see him the first week when he gets there but soon after. My son attended A school in P'cola two years ago. It is very laid back and he had most nights and weekends off. I will try and find a contact email or number for the Ombudsman in the area. They should be able to tell you when, where, & how often you will be able to see your husband during A school. I'll get back with you later today.

    Patrice,

    Most schools are like college campus's. They have plenty of free time during their schooling. Most of it is spent on the phone, computer, shopping off base, etc. Although, they have a lot to learn in a short amount of time, the Navy gives them enough down time so that it is not so overwhelming.

    Welcome to NavyDads.com Patrice! I'm sure you'll find NavyDads as useful, educational and informative as I have. Please explore the site and make some new friends. Read the discussions and add your comments. Browse through the postings in the various groups or start a new one. I certainly have! If you have any comments, questions or concerns about your sailor and what he is going through...be sure to post them! In my experience someone here can answer your questions or concerns or can point you in the direction to find out. I'm blessed to have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM3) is stationed on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) recently completed her enlistment on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Patrice this is a great place to brag as well! So join in, get active, and be sure to let us know how Germaine is doing! Please remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors and the fleet in mind. On the right or starboard side of every NavyDads page is an area we call About This Site. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link for some guidelines as to what we should and should not talk about in a public forum.

    As a spouse of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your husband is going through. In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called A MUST READ for all New Navy Parents. Read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your sailor is learning and why. And be sure to check out the videos available in the Bootcamp Group as well.

    As PIR draws closer, be sure to spend some time going through the PIR-Tips, Hints and Helps group- we’ve tried to assemble some tips and suggestions to make your sailor's PIR more enjoyable. Best Regards- Paul
