lol a smart boy tucker is. i told him to be careful of what he does and doesnt tell them because it can pile up on him in the long run. thats good that he is there and doing well thus far. wishing the best for him and looking foward to seeing colton in april.

Morning everyone -----
MomDJ ---yes Ma'am you found a good one in Joyce, she can help you a lot :)

Talked to Tucker --he is working I asked doing what he said chipping paint.(LOL) And he dont mind that at all. Tucker has 1 year painting experiance under his belt and he didnt even tell them. He said he will later ---if he did it now he would be on the sprayer and he didnt want that much work when he first got there he wants to get the lay of the land sort to speak.

Julie --

I'm so glad to find your group, and I appreciate all the information that I can get! I'm very happy that my son is excited about his new assignment. It makes a mom's life easier! :)

MomDJ: Yep, Joyce is a really terrific person. I'm glad you had her to help you through the DOR stuff. Please feel free to ask questions here. This is a wonderfully supportive group of moms......the best I've run across! We even have several sailors in our group who have made themselves available. Glad your son is excited about his new unit. It took my son a little while to come to terms with the "undesignated" status.....but it's worked out fine. He's settled, made new friends and, on most days, is a pretty happy camper. Let us know if we can be of any help.

Hi Julie --

Thank you so much for your warm welcome! I have joined the Arizona group, but have not been able to attend any get-together. I will try in January as I would like to meet everyone in person. Joyce really helped me through the Navy Seal/DOR thing. That does help - that may be what he is attending.

Hi MomDJ: WELCOME to the "what's up with that?" group. I'm so glad you found us. I'm not sure there is an "Undesignated Seabee" school in GL. When my son first went undesignated he attended a "Basic Seamanship" class in GL that lasted approximately 3-4 weeks. After finishing that he received orders to Virginia. Does that help any?

Also, I noticed that your in Casa Grande....I'm in Peoria. The Az. moms are looking at a get together sometime in January. I'm not sure if it will be in Tucson or Phoenix. Have you joined the Az group?

Hello all --

My son was in the Seal program, but is now undesignated. He will be working with the Seabees in California, and is very excited about it.

Does anyone have information about the Undesignated Seabee School in Chicago? If you do, will you become my friend? I would like to ask you some questions about it. I really appreciate it!
