Still no news in my son's unit. Just wondering if anyone else had heard anything yet.
My son advised that everything is on (as of 2 weeks ago).
He had a briefing from a Rear Admiral in the Training Command who told them that there was never any doubt about rising sophomores ("intro" cruise) and rising seniors but rising juniors were on the bubble. This cruise was seen as least vital to the mission.
However, as of 2 weeks ago, he was advised all is on.
Given the ebb and flow of the budget/ sequester situation I reserve the right to have bad scuttlebutt.
Woo! My son FINALLY found out today that he got his first choice - 2 weeks on a Fast Attack Sub out of Pearl Harbor (actually 4 days in the port and 9 days out) so is excited to see life on a "real" sub!
Do you know what ship he's underway with?DS in 3rd week of CORTRAMID in San Diego. Had Marine week and Aviation; now in Surface.
