mlongst - glad to hear your son has recovered and is back on track.

Our sailor made it to NY on Saturday and he said the weather wasn't too bad - still had some snow on the ground but most from the big storm last week has melted.  Here at home we are supposed to be back up into the 80's this week with lots of wind - they have us on fire alert through Wednesday.

B'sNukemom&dad,  and other headed for BS,  congrats on your sailors acheivments.  They picked a good week to arrive.  I live about 2 hrs south of BS ,  it's supposed to be in the upper 40's or low 50's  this week,  not 0 to 10 like last week.  Visited my son in Goose Creek week before Christmas it was 75-80 each day.

After breaking his ankle in August and being in recovery/hold mode for 4 months my son is back on crew and expecting to finish prototype  at Goose Creek in April.  I would definitely be interested in the  challenge coin.  I gave my son a couple  of the coins for Christmas and he was very excited about them.

A little more 411 on the Ballston Spa Reactor status.  Our son who is in proto type there now was told it is getting shut down at the end of XXXXXXXXXXXX, his class is hoping to be able to complete their training by then (were graduating Mid April). No info was given on how long the shut down will be.

So any one headed up now will be running into a delay in training, or will be starting and then placed on hold, once it goes down.

My son is due to complete Prototype in Goose Creek at the end of February. This has been an exciting journey with his sister just having CTI training in Monterey. It has been tough with them being at opposite sides of the country. I couldn't be prouder of them. I would be interested in the challenge coins. Let me know when they are available and I will be glad to contribute to help defray the cost.

KTR, Congrats to your Son...well Done.  Keep me informed on the coins will take 1 or 2

Son left this morning for Philly (then driving to NY tomorrow) He made it from Ontario to Vegas & then flight was delayed for 3 hours.  Still sitting in the airport.....Hopefully he will be in the air in about another 30 minutes!

KTR - congrats on your son passing his 100% - such a huge accomplishment! Good luck with the orals.

I've responded to you about the coins on the Navy Mom's site....I would be interested down the line too!

My son passed his 100% earlier this week, and feels (by comparison) relatively good about passing his oral.  With the expectation that he will be graduating this month, I have begun the process of commissioning a run of 50 challenge coins to commemorate his accomplishment. They will say Navy Nuclear Power Training Unit on the front perimeter, have a nuclear trident design on the front, and an engraveable field for name, date, class and unit (or whatever) on the back.  They will be done by NTM, and if anything like what I have already bought from their stock coins, will be very high quality.  I will update as I have more information, but thought I would see if there is any interest.  Engraving would need to be done by a local-to-you jeweler, and they will not be ready until February.  I am prepared to shoulder the cost alone but would love to recoup at least a portion.  Stay tuned if you are interested.

My sailor just stopped by my work and said hi & bye to everyone - I've worked here for 17 years so they've known him since he was 7!  Last time they all saw him was before he left for BC in Oct '12. He leaves in the morning for BS....it's been great having him home!

Tim - that's great news on your son.  Now the real fun begins!
