My son, D, is an EM. He just called and said he went into Charleston with some other guys last night. I LOVE that city and glad he got to go. He had not been there before. They walked around the historic area and took in the sites. I had a short talk about under-age drinking and I got the "I know, I know" and got assurances he is/will follow the rules and that there are big consequences for not following the rules and he knows and understands.... I tried not to nag :) but felt the need to have the discussion and glad I did without ticking him off at me. He thinks his class will likely not form until week after next and is also cleaning a lot right now. Thanks for all the good info.

Welcome Macdog.. Im glad your son arrived safely to base. Charleston is such a beautiful town, I hope you will get to visit soon, the Sailors have a 3 day weekend Memorial Day and 4th July. Hopefully your son will get to phase 2 up in the next few week. We went in February and had a great time!
I too had the "talk" with my son, he was 19 when he arrived. if he is still in indoc, he learning all about it :)

Thanks, My son is 19 too. A great kid, but his first "real" time away from home:) He is so excited about this and so far looks like a great fit for him. Hoping to make it down there early summer. My husbands good friend/co-worker has a vacation home in Charleston and invited him down early June. I really hope he can go as he could not make it to PIR with the rest of the family due to illness. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

just wanted to say thanks to our "veteran NUKE moms" for sharing. I think we all realize that each of our
Sailors will have a unique experience, although the general information is the same...There were 16 NUKES headed for Goose Creek on my son's flight last Saturday. It was fun to get to know some of them, although I don't think anyone is
at their best from 0200 to 0600...I know I wasn't! It's been a week and I'm still tired! ;)

Thanks for starting this group; since a class # was not available yet, I was actually getting anxious myself to have something to compare notes with among the newbie moms.
My son, JT, PIRed on 4/29 also--Div 155. So far, he's "cleaning" while on indoc. On Monday, he will be taking a driving test to enable him to help in the driving needs in GC---shuttling nukes in and out of airports for instance. He said that having that permit will also help decrease his driver's insurance rates, so I'm definitely all for that. He just got his upper wisdom teeth extracted yesterday. He was told at BC that the extraction can wait till he got to GC and he was glad about that; he said that the dentist at GC actually had a clinic. LOL. He also still has the cough that he caught while in BC but he is talking of just running to NEX for some Mucinex as they don't seem to give him anything for it.
After an evening of a basketball game, he reports that he already have the dreaded bug bites. Of course, he never listened when I told him to get the insect repellants first thing he got there.
Just wondering if we should have a worksheet where we can list our members along with their corresponding nuke babies and the job rating? I kind of do that now to keep it all straight (memory issues creeping us here) but I thought it would be a nice thing to have.

Hey Maddie!
good idea. I'll add it to the header as you guys let me know. Just remember N4M OPSEC rules apply... :)
-

-
not sure what to put for your sons' names??? Just an initial? let me know what u think! :)
-
-
-
My son's initials are DM, same first name as Swim's son. I believe.

You work fast, swim! That's awesome! Mine is an MM, btw. Looks like I'm the only MM right now, eh?
-
-
-
Yes, Maddie! YOU'RE SPECIAL! lol...btw, looking at your profile picture, there's no way you're old enough to
have a Sailor! :) I know there are other new nuke moms out there...and I'm hoping they join us. Maybe when we have a "real" class number?? HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, to all of you. May God give us patience with our Sailors during the next phase of training!

Why, that's the best compliments I've had for a long time, Swim! JT, soon to be 21, is my baby; I have two other boys older than him---so yup I'm old! LOL. I know some moms from Div155 with nuke babies too so they'll come around, I'm sure.
Happy Mother's Day to all!

Spoke to RD for a short time...glad he remembered to call today. I asked if he was on "trash duty" like a lot
of the others, and he said about 6 of them are removing rust from some benches/bleachers...with the comment
"hey, they have to pay us for doing SOMETHING!!!" lol. He still has a cold/cough. I asked him if he could get to
medical for that and he said he can't. He doesn't want any chance of light duty or not passing his PFA. So, this
week I plan on sending him a small care package with Mucinex, vitamin C, tylenol, bug spray and benadryl itch spray for insect bites he's probably getting. I told him if he wasn't planning on ever going to medical, he darn better learn how to
take care of himself with OTC stuff! Aaaarrgh. He's been sick for so long, I don't know if he remembers what it feels like to be well. Hope it was a good Mother's Day for y'all!
