Well, I did hear from him today.  Not sure if it's a coincidence, but it gibes with what I read on Navy moms - the 24th, and I was not supposed to return from Eastern Europe until later that week.  And to top it off, his only brother's birthday is that week as well.  So looks like we are having a double celebration - wonder if NYC is a good place to spend a weekend, lol.

KTR, while I cannot comment on your sailor's graduation I really feel your pain.  My sailor had many delays during prototype due to issues with the training boats at GC so we had about a 1 week notice. To top that off, after plans were made they found out that family and friends were not allowed at their grad as there was a NPS and A school grad going on the same day. BUT the good news was we got to spend a great weekend with him. Good luck!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We got to talk to our Sailor twice this weekend - on Thanksgiving and our usual Sunday night call.  His car arrived on Wednesday (11pm!) so he is a happy camper.  Wasn't supposed to be there until either Sat/Sun so it was nice it made it there early (and with no incidents!).  He and his buddies are hoping to firm up their housing in Ballston Spa in the next couple of days and they have their MTMO final on Thursday. He's planning on rooming with a sailor from Lancaster, PA. Anyone on here claim him?

KTR - Hope you can find the info you are looking for - that's awesome that your son is almost done with Prototype!  Ours is just getting ready to finish PS (graduation 12/13) and then head to BS.....can't wait to see him next week!

Happy Monday All!

Hey all.

OK, so between the Prototype work schedule, my son's communication style, and the way things work in the Navy, I feel like a complete NOOB when it comes to planning for graduation.

Does anyone have any real, good information about Prototype Class 1302 graduation that they can share? 

Thanks, and Happy Advent!

James - congrats on your son's PIR! Be sure to read "Your Sailor's Schedule Upon Arrival" & "Surviving Nuke School" above in the discussion forum.  Lots of good info!

Well my son had his PIR on Wednesday and then he shipped out Friday morning early to Goose Creek. I suppose the real work for home begins now.

Thank you David's Mom & Bob.  I'll look into this.

B'sNuke mom&dad,

All the trainee's must secure off base housing. The town to search for is Saratoga Springs, NY. The Navy gives the sailors very limited info.  My wife searched online for the area and made connections that way.  Best of luck!

@David's Mom - what exactly is the base housing in BS?  I haven't got much info from my son yet but I didn't know there was a base. I thought it was a private owned reactor that the gov't contracted with.  How does that work - what city is it in (the housing)?  Trying to gather as much info as I can!
