Lori--Wendy--my son was talking about staff pick up. Don't know how they chose either. He won't know anything until after probably April. We've got our fingers crossed he gets it even though it would extend his contract.

Wendy--honors! Wow.

Nov 20th grads--I've seen some grad pix on facebook and they are awesome!

Lori, my son is also a nuke on the Lincoln. He just finished prototype in NY in Sept. and reported to the Lincoln on Oc. 7. He's going through a serious adjustment period right now, as the ship is in Bremerton and they just started making them live on the ship last week, so his girlfriend is at their apt. in Everett and he's on the ship in Bremerton. Not a happy camper right now. I'd love to talk to you, as he flew through power school and prototype with honors, top of his class, and really wanted to teach at prototype, but didn't get it. How did your son put in to teach at prototype in SC after serving on the ship?

Hi all, new to the group today. My oldest son is a Nuke currently serving on the Lincoln. He will be heading to SC soon to teach at Prototype. We are so proud and he will be happy to be off the ship.

Dawn - You're right, it's good she did something now rather than later, and if she's been having serious doubts for a month, it seems like she's really given it some thought. "they had spent most of their relationship apart" - that is KEY! I was with my ex for about 4 years, but 2.5 were long distance (with visits). Three months after he moved to the same city, I realized it wasn't meant to be! Sometimes long distance relationships, ironically, are easier than those that aren't.

Hi everyone! Hannah broke her engagement! She'd been having doubts for the prior month. Glad she did something about it sooner rather than later. They hadn't known each other long, so I'm glad she came to her senses. I'm sure he's a great young man, but golly gee! Gotta know someone better than that before you decide to get engaged! And they had spent most of their relationship apart.

We are still waiting to hear if she can get some leave time for her sister's wedding after Christmas. She does have positive leave, so that will maybe improve her chances. She bought her plane ticket just in case.
If she can't get free, I may just have to scrape the money together and fly out there to see her!
