Diana, When I told Laura that her sailor should make it was thinking of the snow that we had in WA last Christmas time. It was fierce. It took my sailor three days to get home with all the lay overs and Sea Tac being closed down. My Nuke was stuck in Portland for an entire 24 hours. Hopefully, we will have a milder winter> :)

Lori, my daughter is on the Lincoln! Reported end of July. She is an EM. What is your son? They probably know one another!

Lori,
Your son is going to teach at Prototype? He might be teaching this class of Nukes graduating Power School on Jan. 22. My son is in this class.

Just make sure he is carrying all the phone numbers he needs with him, just in case. That way he can call if there is a weather delay. They get in a lot more trouble if they just don't show up.

Wendy, WOW! Honors? My son has to study so hard and has failed more than one test. He has worked for every grade he's earned! I wish it was as easy for him as it was for your sailor. He's more of a "hands-on" kind of guy. He'll do much better in Prototype when he can get on-the-job experience.

Laurie,
He'll make it, the airport is only a 15 min cab ride from the base.

Laura,

He SHOULD make it. The airport is not far from Goose Creek. They can be in BIG problems if they are late. I know that when Scott was there he also had to do the red eye flights. I will pray for good weather for you. Enjoy your time with your sailor.

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?
