My son in at Kitsap, he seems to like it there.  A lot to do in the area no matter what his interests.  The patrols are hard on parents but my son says he would rather be out because he is doing his job. He has no complaints with being a submariner, seems to fit him.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Lady I work with has a future son-son-in-law who is a nuke Officer.  She says, he says, Officer power school and and Prototype are harder than the enlisted versions, I told her

I don't know about that.  Does anyone have any clarity on her statement?  What I do know is that NukeSon who is a fairly recent graduate of both, now second class and on

the USS City of Corpus Christi has acquired $108,000 in Navy bonus money so far.  So I don't think it really makes any  difference if Officer training is "harder" than enlisted,

maybe it's who gets the most bonus money?  I didn't want to be rude but, I thought officers and enlisted  were on the same team, and it wasn't really a competition!!  In fact,

the journey starts over again to do  quals to earn their Dolphins...... in the shortest amount of time.

Dennis M --
Once a Nuc, always a nuc. No way out. Short of dishonorable or medical.
"BAD REACTION" haha - :) cute pun.
I've no secondhand word about Stennis. I've heard bad words about George.
My sailor liked Abe.
Once you sign up for Nukke - your stuck with it for 6 years.
Try for another ship -- getting de-nuked not likely.

David's mom - you are correct! Hubby & I couldn't remember his name but knew his initials were JR. Hubby looked on line & this was the first name he saw & it was the right initials! We definitely met the current CO & he was extremely nice & informative.
Dennis - sorry to hear that your son is unhappy. I hope things improve for him.

Hi All - Happy First Day of Fall!

Had a great time in San Diego at Fleet Week.  Spent a lot of time on the Nimitz - got to meet the Commanding Officer - Capt. Jeff Ruth.  He has been through the nuke program (when he was 42!).  He saw my hubby's hat that he was wearing (say's NNPTC Power School) and came over to speak with us.  Very nice man.  Some interesting stories he shared.  Also met a nuke chief that we spent over an hour talking to....he answered any question that hubby & I had and was just a pleasure to speak to.....put my mind to ease a bit about what to expect when sailor hits the fleet ;-).  Also toured the USS Somerset which is named in honor of the passengers & crew of United Flight 93 that crashed on 9/11 in PA.  It is an amphibious transport dock.  Very emotional... Overall we had a great time - if you ever get the opportunity to go to Fleet Week I highly recommend it.

Hope everyone has a great day!
