Hello,

Cynthia,
how did your son get close to getting his bachelors when they do not get college credits? I had heard that some colleges can take them, but any advise you can offer would be awesome!!!
Hi, My daughter Amber also just passed the Nuke test. We are a little unsure of whats to come now. It's my understanding they do not want DEPers in the program over a year and now that she has passed the Nuke test the next opening is June 2010. Ambe…
How cool..............
When we arrive at Charleston we have a bunch of papers we have to sign... which limit how much we can say about the program... however... whatever i can tell you i will... and if i don't know the answer to any of your question... my husband is also…
You post struck home for me, my son was going to get first liberty the 4TH of Jly weekend, but now he doesn't know.The studying and not doing well in Math has really gotten him down. He is trying very hard and spends all his time "there" and doesn't…

My son was on t track waiting his security clearance. Then will be after power school because there is a wait for prototype. My son is in power school right now. Doing well. He does study a lot. Ask any questions that you may have. Someone on here w…
Janis Kay,
That is helpful information. I did not hear about the T track before. What point in the training is your son in?
They can use their cell phones as soon as they get them. I mailed my son's to him as soon as he called with an address. I believe there is married housing right there on the base but kind of on the other side by where the villas are. That's where my…
Hi,
I am totally new this this. My son arrived in Charleston on 6/24. He has little information and I have even less. I am very excited for him. I am sure this will be an amazing group of Sailors that he will get to train with. He is married and is…

Pat said… - I just read one of your blogs. If your daughter is already a nurse, she'll need a BSN to go in as a Officer as there are no enlisted rates for nurse's, without a bachelor's degree, other than Corpsman who actually work under the supervision of a physician or Registered Nurse just as practical nurse's do. If your daughter is a PN I would encouarge her to enroll in a BSN program & then apply as an Officer. She might even try looking into an ROTC program. Depending on what type of nursing program she earned her PN diploma from she may be able to obtain credits for for her PN education.

Any turning back after signing DEP
Is there any turning back - My daughter took the physical this am and called to say she was waiting to hear what jobs she qualifies for and said she was DEP until she finishes school next year. What is she changes her mind? Is there any turning back?

Things are moving along quickly - will it slow down......................
We met with recruiter - She took her ASVAB now going for physical - (Monday a.m.) and then what??????????? This started off as an "idea" and she's plugging away at it. I'm not sure how to feel........ Yesterday was "moving up" at BOCE's for Practical Nursing - She received high honors for all 4 qtr's. Not even sure why I'm writing all this - Just trying to make some sense out of it all -
