So DH is graduating boot camp Friday (YAY!!!) I was looking for information on what A School is like. What kinds of freedoms he will have, info about liberty, and just general information. I know where he will be going and he will be there about 6 months. Well last I talked to him he hadn't gotten his official orders, since he had just passed basic, so I guess it could change.
I just wanted to research how much we will be able to talk, and skype, and if he can take leave for holidays, etc. Maybe I'm jumping the gun researching now, and maybe it varies depending on the base and other stuff, but it gives me something to occupy my time.
Thanks!
Re: Navy A School info
Not sure about the Navy, but I can tell you a little about Army. LoL.
For the first couple of weeks it was a little stricter, but we still got to talk and text on a daily basis. He had his laptop so we talked on there too. After those first couple of weeks they were allowed weekends and evenings off after classes. They could go out and enjoy San Antonio (Ft. Sam) as long as they were back by like 9 on weeknights and 11 on weekends. There was a bar on post that was walking distance from their barracks and I know a lot of time was spent there. I even flew out and spent a weekend with him. Granted he couldn't stay with me, but we spent Friday evening and all day Saturday and Sunday together. It was nice.
This is what I figured, and probably why I couldn't find anything googling it, but thanks for confirming it.
Thanks for the info! That sounds like heaven after basic!! I can't wait until I can go visit him. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what it is like instead of reading about it.
And I hope they have a bar on base for him. He has been complaining about wanting a beer - although he doesn't get much sympathy from his pregnant wife!!
Thanks for the info ladies, I appreciate it!
Thanks for that info, I was wondering what AIT was like. H wants me to buy a second laptop and send our current one to him for AIT. I kind of gave him the side eye considering he will be there less than 2 months. Though, he could bring it on deployments as well. Hmmm.
