Hey guys! It's been so long since I have posted, well for good reason, this school takes up *ALOT* of time. Well I am halfway now and have some extra time on my hands.. ask me everything you want to know!

How many different subjects are they teaching at once? Is everything being taught simultaneously or do they finish one thing and start something new?

Cobalt said it perfectly. As a wire (EM or ET) you will have five total classes in A school. For a short period at the beginning you will have two classes simultaneously but one is just a math review course. If you are a Mechanic (MM) there are less classes due to A school being shorter. I want to say it is three total, but I may be incorrect, I am an EM so I know more specifics about our side of the schoolhouse.

Delicate walk that is.. I wanted to describe the order the classes are presented however..

On the other hand.. I thought about posting some pictures from around the area.. not sure how that might go over.. Our "site" Was built in an old swamp plantation, and we have really scenic views, and interesting animals. I'll make an album soon. On that note Griffin.. Would pictures of trails leading to berthing be taboo?

I would ask your security folks beforehand. Can't tell you how many cameras I had to confiscate while at Corry for similar stuff. But to stay on the safe side I would avoid taking any pictures of facilities on base and posting them unless it's something like the NEX or other generally publicly accessible space.

sorry to kind of bump a dead thread, but this is regarding space in the BEQ.

All of my earthly belongings fit in my trusty backpack and this old ratty suitcase that I have. My backpack I can get when my parents visit for PIR, but this suitcase, which contains pretty much all my civvies and some trinkets, I was planning on having my uncle ship it over to NNPTC.

A: Would there be a problem with this i.e. anyone higher up the chain would see this and say no?

and

B: would there be enough space to kind of stash it away without taking up too much space?

worst comes to worst, ill just end up donating all my old clothes, but i would really like to keep my sneaker collection...

As long as you're not getting items that are banned from the BEQ rooms, no one will care what you get shipped to you. You get a closet and other furniture that should be able to fit a suitcase worth of stuff in it.

sweetmtn · 10-27-2015, 06:15 PM

As far as your sneaker collection...depends on how many you are talking about...just know when you do finish all your training you will be sent to either a carrier or a sub,,,both have very limited space to store stuff.

CoolHandL · 10-28-2015, 10:09 AM

BTW, your parents won't be able to give you your backpack unless they come to the airport to see you off after PIR. Then you will be in dress uniform and anything you carry has to accessorize with that. IIRC, a backpack must to be black.
It doesn't sound like you have too much stuff, but the suitcase might be difficult to stow.

Oh man, we just had a huge "Health and Wellness" inspection a few weeks ago. Everyone rooms got checked. It was crazy. So much booze found.

Poonmonsoon182 · 11-04-2015, 07:07 PM

Do they announce inspections or was it a total surprise?

Total surprise. I was in the middle of cleaning the Rickover (T-Track) and then all students were told to leave the building immediately except for married sailors. Power Schoolers left in the building assumed everyone elses watch, and all the BEQs were inspected. No notice whatsoever.
