Thanks! I called this morning to ask about the dates he MAY have to go back down as we have a memorial service to attend next week and did not want dates to conflict. So far, they have not heard anything about the tests yet today. I am very thankful for this site. I stumbled upon it by accident looking for info on the Navy when my son told me he was going to enlist. What a blessing. I could not imagine going it alone!

My son told me that he will be graduating from A School on October 9th and will be able to come home from Oct 9th after graduation to Oct 19th. Does anyone know if these dates can change? I wanted to surprise him and get him plane tickets so he can fly instead of drive home. Thank you!

Hi Cameowlot,
My son took the testing 4 years ago, and at that time it took almost a week before he found out he was eligible for NUKE school. He is now an E-5, and just reenlisted. I just wish I had known about this site when he was in the DEP program...I had so many questions and NO answers. Enjoy, and I hope the results come in soon for you!

Thanks nucmon for the info, I guess my son will take me downtown. I have never been in that area, I can't wait.

Its been a long time since Alex too the test to get into the Nuke program (2005) but back then it was 92%. I think it changes depending on the needs of the Navy. He also said he thinks the test changed after he took it. Right now he is an ET2.

Also, anybody have a son/daughter accepted into the NUKE program leaving for BC 04/05/10???

Does anyone know the passing percentage rate for the Nuke program? I've heard anywhere from 50%-95%. Just curious...my son will be going in 04/05/10 but his friend just got sent home after his first six months of nuke school.

Bea :)) !!!! The only thing on your list that you might not find in the Midwest is Gordon Biersch beer.

Hi Eliza-There are several tours downtown Charleston. The one we took is at the Red Barn and is drawn by mules. Excellent tour and close to the slave market shopping. Look for brochures with the red barn on front, there was a coupon for a couple of dollars off each ticket.

Bea, We wouldn't laugh at you! In addition to my Nuke, 2 daughters live out of state. When any of them leave, I cry, and then mope for a few days. Then I give myself a stern talking to, pull up my big girl panties and get on with it!!
