I finally found the post mentioned by Marybeth. Thanks!
The post contained this link: (http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/fhtnc/index.html). It has some examples of media releases from various rates. It does not have a Nuke Power School per se, but does ha…
Hi Derecksmom,
Lisanukewife is right. They don't get many college credits, and certainly not a nuclear engineering degree when they're finished, but some colleges will give them credits for their training.
The curriculum for Power School is diffic…

Thanks Gulf Coast Mom!
I am following your thread. I would like to put something it our local paper. I think I remember seeing something back a year or so, but couldn't find it now (that was specific to Power School). I did try to go back on the general discussion but wen…
Trish go into the General Discussion section of the Forums- someone brought this up just the other day, it should still be in the first couple of pages.
Congratulations. I can see your smile from here 8-)
Greetings All:o)
I'd like to put a blerb in our local paper recognizing our son for his graduation from Power School (with honors, and being Math Honorman for Power school, might I add:o) Proud Mom here!!!

That was one warm ceremony! We arrived early to get good seats up front and then moved to the shade in the very back at the end of section 2 awards; we were very glad we did. RA Lister had interesting and encouraging remarks and he spent personal ti…

Barrett's Mom(Ship 07, Div 316) said… - Trish,
Thanks for the info - sorry I just read it today. It's hard to find time to check out the site. Also, sometimes it's hard to read about all the things that might happen - getting hurt and sent home. I'm so anxious to hear from Barrett - a letter or a call- but don't know what I'll do if he is EXTREMELY depressed about being there. How did you encourage your son? Was he just that way during boot camp? Now that he's out is he convinced enlisting was a good decision? What helped him get through besides leaning on buddies?
I'm ALREADY extremely proud of him, but know when we go to the graduation it will be the proudest moment of my life!! He is going to be a machinist's mate - working on the planes. He LOVES working on engines of any type.
I've sent his address to everyone and asked them to try to write as much as they can. My husband and I are each sending a letter or card EVERY day. Wish I could do more - any suggestions?
Thanks so much!!

- Trish,
Just joined NFM and just took our youngest son, Barrett to Omaha for basic last Wednesday. We received a call the next evening saying he had gotten there and he might be able to call again in two weeks. I didn't think I would miss him this much - am also just a little worried. I live in Kearney also - Barrett graduated KHS in May. What advice/information can you give me? I really appreciate it!!

- Hi Tammie...yes, my husband's job brought us to Lincoln. I grew up in eastern Nebraska, so the move has been fairly painless.
Drew is our youngest also. We had an empty nest for about 3 weeks, and then our daughter moved back home after 4 years. Our empty nest was more like an extended childless vacation.
Drew will definitely be home for Christmas, and maybe for TG also. He said that he may get leave because the school will be closed for the holiday. I sure hope so:-)
What is Wyatt doing? Is he still in GL? I recall Drew mentioning something about another young man from Minden who left for BC just before he did. He must have been referring to Wyatt. Those boys make me so darn proud! It is so amazing to me that they were able to confidently able to make such an enormous commitment as such a young age. We must have done something right in raising them:-) It was great to touch base with you. Keep in touch!

Tammie said… - So nice to hear from you Trish. That's a bummer that you no longer live in Kearney. Wyatt left for BC on June 10th. Morgan Ryan graduted with Wyatt and signed up for the Navy under Wyatt. They both in the same ship at GL. Drew is a long way from home huh! Will he be home for christmas? Wyatt says he will be home for about 2 weeks at christmas. I cant wait to have him home. I am finally getting adjusted to not having any kids in the house (if that is possible) it was really hard during BC but now that we can talk on the phone every day that helps a lot. Your jobs must have taken you to Lincoln? It would be great to meet you on the 18th. Hope it works out for you to come. Make sure you RSVP to Angie. Sounds like your son will have an intense job once he has completed school. I wish him all the best. Gotta get back to Laundry so better get off here for now. Hope to hear from you soon!

Sharon S. McDonald said… - Hi Trish, Thats cool I was able to pick him out without having met him in person! Yes, they are handsome!
For me( I know I am a bit unusual) I found it easier to depart this time because I was able to see part of the base where he is living for the next eight months. Also, I had heard that A-school takes two weeks off at Christmas(Zach said he heard that also),so he plans to fly home once he is approved. My youngest daughter did cry as as went back to the Ramada Inn.
You must have had a great view up in the balcony during PIR. That is great! Where was Drew standing during PIR? Can you see him in the pictures we posted? Oh yeah, I guess that means Drew missed his massage. Maybe that could be a Christmas gift for him.
Zach has a cell phone now so he keeps in touch often. Thursday he passed his phase II test so now he has liberty ( even overnight!).
Well I got to go . Let keep in touch. I'll pray Drew everything goes well for Drew in SC.
