I was at my son's swearing in cermony in March. The recruiter picked him up at 4 in the morning. I held it together. The swearing in cermony...I held it together. When I came home from work and saw THE BOX I sat in my car crying for 1/2 hour. Now he is in goose creek in school until Oct. It can only get better moms. Was relieved when boot camp was over!

Hi Casey! My son Casey is in 0933 as an ET. He will not graduate until Oct. When will Ryan graduate? We were in Charleston last weekend. Very pretty city from what we saw. I feel better that Casey has more freedom.We brought his car down last weekend. How long will you be on the base before Ryan goes elsewhere? When I asked him about his class he would not give me any names. He doesn't like me on Navyformoms. He thinks it makes me more worried. It doesn't! Nice to find things out.When did Ryan graduate boot camp?

Hi Kate!

I saw your post on the Nuke Moms group asking if any of us had loved ones in 0933. My Ryan is in 0933 as an MM. :) I'm going to be moving up to the base over the next couple of weeks, and I'm also from the Charleston area, so if you have any questions about the area I might be able to help!

Hope you're having a great weekend.

Hi
did you sailor say he could get a chit to travel on the 4th? It is expensive to fly to and from Charleston.

Hi Kate,
My son just graduated from Prototype (Job classification) in Goose Creek. He is an Nuke ET3. In A school, expect your son to be doing alot of studying. He might get frustraited and wanting to give up. Just keep encouraging him and tell him no matter what you are proud of him.
