Is the 1st year sea partner the same for the 2nd year. DS is B split, on first sea adventure, having great time working and seeing the world with his partner. Thanks!
Can anyone help me develop a clearer of picture of the timing of sea year. DS is 2014 and expects to be A split because he has come to really enjoy the waterfront and sailing sonars. Assuming he is A split...
1. When would he begin sea year?
2. When would he conclude his first assignment? His second? (I believe I read somewhere that they sail aboard two ships.)
3. Is there a break before sea year begins? Between the two placements? At the end?
Thanks for any insight? Also, forgive me if I'm butchering the terminology. I'm still trying to learn the lingo.
... He did get on the Kings Pointer from July 12-??? date, before he left for Japan on the 18th. We were told those days count. Please fill us in as much as possible.
From their ATR, from other mids, from their career counselor, etc. The mids look out for each other and pass on information. There are different options available for the second sea year that they won't hear specifics about until after their first sea term. ...
Sorry if I came across that way. DD is in no danger of anchor position in the class.
