Sent my son off Monday, got the "I'm here" call last night.  Mom is a little edgy, I'm retired from the Coast Guard so I've played the game, albeit a long time ago.  Great to be onboard, hope to share and get some useful information as the next several months go by.  Great site, thanks for being here for us all!

My son was a duty driver in May and June before they gave him duties on the boat. He bought his car last Spring. He told me a lot of his friends went to BS.
He's very happy to start moving forward again.

My MM only got 6 weeks of grad hold and was disappointed.  They made him a duty driver in GC last June, he loved the easy work and wanted a longer vacation. I bet our kids know each other.  Last July he bought a car with his PS bonus and moved to BS, NY.

My ET is finally going to start prototype in Charleston, after 6 months of grad hold.
Congrats to your MM, Phillip, on nearing the end of the pipeline.

Hey KTR, We really are in the same place with our kids and communication.  My MM said he was too busy getting sigs and arranging watches, before they shut the plant down for 5 weeks tomorrow, to pay attention to the drama, but he heard about the mass mastings at BS. 

Got relief when I finally heard from him yesterday, he was surprised that I heard about it.  I am sooooo ready to finish up this pipeline training stuff and get out to the fleet, not to mention the enlistment bonus. 

2 weeks to go.

Brian, you've got that right.  I never know when my daughter may run out of gas on some rainy night and need assistance :)

Evan,

I am not going down, my daughter is also coming up. I just wanted to commend you on such a generous offer. It's nice to see that there are people out there willing to help others and not looking to gain. I wish you the best and am sure it will come back to you 10 fold...good KARMA

Hey, we have changed our Thanksgiving plans and our Sailor is now flying home, instead of us going to Goose Creek.  We have a 3 bedroom villa at Foster Creek that is paid for, and since it is a holiday rental it is non-refundable.  If you know of a family travelling to see their sailor at nuke school and things are tight they are welcome to use it for free.  If you are going and flush with cash, but just forgot to reserve something we can work something out.  Just message me on the forum and I can give you my phone number.

Tom, I'm not a member of the veteran's ass'n.

Thanks Tom, that helps.
