hello. My DEP date is 20140521 and i ship out on 20141027. My current rate is PACT SN but my recruiter just put in a DAR for me to get IS which is what i originally wanted. I was wondering what A school in VA Beach is like? Also i know that orders are based on how well you do in school but i wanted to know where IS are typically stationed? I would like to stay in the VA area.
Thanks Future Sailor Bryan |

That makes more sense haha
In the intelligence community, a common intelligence tactic by other countries (bad guys) is to post BS stuff on military forums or social media to try and get someone to spill easy information. Usually they are really poor at keep track of details like usernames and what they sign to the pages. So the username and the signature just sent up a little red flag haha I don't know a whoooole lot about IS A-school, but getting an IS billet in the fleet near VA would be pretty easy to do. You have all the intel groups up around DC as well as having the worlds largest Naval base at Norfolk and all kinds of spooky stuff down in Dam Neck. I'm sure getting stationed around there won't be that difficult. /r CTT1 |

I was on a phone call when I saw that originally and didn't even register that it was probably your last name. Again, apologies!

Not going to ask questions about the school itself, but more of the living arrangement expectations questios. What are the barracks like there for the straight from BC student? Do they share rooms and bathrooms or is it more like the 1+1 dorms? I saw a post on another site that showed TVs were provided in the rooms already and the rooms were small...is this a true statement? Is Internet provided or is that something the Sailor would have to pay to have installed in their room? Do they move barracks when they transition from A school to C school? Any other info you have on what to expect upon arrival would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I don't know what video you were speaking of. But there are no TV's provided though they have like a huge movie theatre and internet cafe across the street that is free. The rooms are small, depending on how many people are at school you could be anywhere from by yourself to three in a room. Luckily it wasn't to busy when I was there, had a roommate for a week and he left than had the place to myself. You share a bathroom with the roommates you have. You have to pay for internet if you want it, it's like $10 or so. I wasn't in the barracks much since I went out a fair amount I met other people and just ended up living out in town for a good amount of time while I was there. It's been a while since I have been there so things may have changed. Really it just depends on the chiefs and instructors that are there at the time. I had a great time, but I was also on top of school work and such.
