| LIFE New Fleet Sailor

[XXL TideFan]

My son has completed his "A" school and received his rating badge. He is now a Fleet Sailor. I am immensely proud of the young man that he has become in such a short period of time.

After the New Year he reports to LSD-46 USS Tortuga. Just went into dry dock for modernization until at least May 2019

When I graduated from A School, #1 in class got first pick of duty station. Does it still work that way?

2 of my closest friends are old Navy buddies, one of them from A School.

Not for EN at least. He had orders before he started A school
