Steven.... After PIR, he really can't take anything unless you hand it to him at the airport ( if he is a grad and go). Even then, his seebag is probably filled to the brim. The best thing to do is wait until he settles in at GC. That's what I did. Then I sent him his laptop and phone via FED EX along with some other items he wanted.

Hello,

My son will graduate from BC on the 8th and then is heading to GC the next day. He will be an ET.
My husband spent 11 years in the Navy as a Nuke ET also. It's a very different experience as a Mom, than it was as a wife.

Our son arrived home last night from GC on leave as well(Chicago area). It is great to have him home for the holidays. He drove with a buddy and they made it around the storm via Atlanta. A long drive but worth it to miss the snow.
Steven, our son was not allowed to take anything from GL to GC. Some meet their sailors at the airport and hand over their phone and computer there for them to take.
David, as far as I know, A school classes start every other week so your sailor may get lucky and start the next week or may have to wait up to three weeks. just depends on when the classes are set to start.

David
My son is scheduled PIR 2/5 and then to GC. Can you tell me? Has your son said anything about GC? Are they discussing that in the last couple of weeks that you know of? Just wondering if we can take anything to PIR that he can take with him to GC? Kinda bored here today. Thanks for the good reading guys!

Does anyone know how often does GC start new classes?
Russell will be getting in to GC from GL on 09 Jan 10.

My wife and I got our Christmas present today! Our son drove up from Goose Creek to NJ in the snow storm to be home for Christmas. May everyone have a happy and healthy holiday and God bless the men and women of the United States Armed Forces!

Before my son left for GL, Dec1, he was in a meeting with some divers. They talked to him about Nukes also being asked about their interest in diving. I think I saw the training is in addition to boot after PIR there at GL. Anyone have any thoughts? I'm wondering if he's being asked or this is something they will even get to.

My best guess for Grad-n-go, is they have only so many seats on the flight to fill..so it probably is very random on who gets it!

Hooray!! Nick finished Prototype last Friday and is able to come home for a week. He finished as Honorman in both A school and Power School and did well enough in Prototype to get his first choice which is ELT School. It starts right away back @ GC so he won't be home for Christmas, but he really wanted ELT and is looking forward it.

My son graduated GL in Jan 2007 we had the weekend with him prior to him going to GC. I remenber it was cold in January in Waukegan. Anyway GC wasnt too bad as I remember he had most weekends off and we saw him again during the summer prior to him going to prototype at Ballston Spa. After GL he was in regular contact with us, just like going to college for 18 months. GL was the only time during school that he was not frequent in checking in. As I recall maybe 3 times till graduation. Now he is on CVN-74 Stennis carrier and when in port is in regular contact. When they are under way its hit & miss. SF
