We are talking about the recent Power School graduation. A school graduation includes only the one section you sailor is in and is nice but not really that big a deal according to my sailor. Power School graduation is totally different however. There is a Power School graduation only every couple of months and includes at least 10 sections of sailors totaling at least 300. It is held outdoors and is really nice and is THE graduation to go to. If you are close the A school graduation would be nice but the big deal is Power School. There is no graduation from prototype as they may start together but the way it is set up they finish at differing times.

Just so I'm clear. Are you all talking about Power school graduation? My son is almost done with his A school there in GC and I have been wondering if this would be the graduation to go to. So does it look like they have time to visit with family and get moved into their new place before proto starts?

Thanks
Steve

Yes it sure is a small world. Wonderful to hear that your son is settled in and ready to go and we hope all goes well for him, as we do for all the graduates. What a wonderful day we all had for graduation. Sites like these are so great to keep in touch.

Mike. Believe it or not, I was the person sitting next to you who spoke to you and your family about your daughter's graduation. My wife and your wife talk on N4M. Small world. We stayed down in SC until Monday and then went up to Ballston Spa to help my son find an apartment. He is reporting in today as he took some leave to get everything settled.

Yes, congratulations to all who graduated, they are to be commended. It was a great ceremony and we had wonderful weather. We especially liked them encouraging us to get up close for pics, that was really great. Our son is staying at Goose Creek and we moved him into his new apartment right after graduation, then hit the beach. We were extremely lucky that he was able to come with us to NJ for his sister's graduation from Rutgers the next Tuesday. Had a great day in NYC(Intrepid) on Monday then home to Illinois for an all too brief 3 days here before he flew back yesterday. He is lucky to be taking some classes starting today and then who knows how the hold situation will be. Like usual with the Navy, you never know anything really until it happens.

Congratulations to all who graduated. God bless them all!

Congratulations to your son, hope the weather is nice there. Going to Ballston is a good thing now due to the fact one of the training subs in Charleston is currently in Dry Dock and the other has had to power down due to a maintenance issue. My son is with the sub in drydock in Norfolk

Sitting in Charleston waiting for the big day tomorrow! My son and his closest friends all passed comps on Tuesday and my wife and I are so proud of them as well as all who have reached this step. God bless them all! We are on our way up to Ballston Spa on Monday after a little weekend R&R. Hope all goes well for those staying down in Goose Creek.
