I also figured they would graduate A school mid November. I was thinking they would be home for Thanksgiving. My son told me he won't be home for leave after A school : (
My son lived in Nevada before boot camp. On leave, he will need to fly out to Vegas to pack up his belongings and drive his car back to GC. He is going to try as little leave as possible so that he can come home for a longer time at Christmas. I guess I will wait and see what happens. -

Mine is also trying to balance the time in Nov and Dec. I guess he'll wait and see what happens. Not sure what he is going to do about his stuff at his dad's in CA and we're not sure if his car will make it to GC. At least it's better than boot, I can talk to him any time and find out how he's doing.

My son texted me today. He said he did well on his final math exam and no longer has any madatory study hours. He is on volunteer hours only. Yeah!! I hope you all got good news too! He said the class average was 3.4 wich is pretty good. He said there were a few guys however that did not get to phase up and some that got maximum study hours.
On not such a good note, the whole class was "screwing off" and got silent orders for the week. I am not 100% sure, but I think that means they are not allowed to talk in the classroom. Hopefully they all learn their lesson and this doesn't happen again.

Yeah, they were talking too loud and when they were told to be quiet a petty officer heard it and they all got in trouble. lol, guess they were in a good mood and got a bit carried away. lesson learned. My son did GREAT on the test! He didn't get to phase up cuz he arrived at A school with a raging case of pneumonia and they stuck him in the special PT. As sick as he was (and he was REALLY sick) it was a wonder to me that he was still upright. He's one tough cookie! Now even though he can pass the PT test (which he did last week) it doesn't "count" cuz he did it with his class and not the special PT person. Sucks, but that's the military for you. Lots of rules don't make sense but what can you do.
He's also on zero hours tho so that makes him happy. Glad your son did well. Congratulations to him!
Oh, I guess part of their punishment is no civvies and they have to march everywhere for a while. Mine said anywhere from a couple of days to a week depending on when they are deemed rehabilitated.

Thank HonorHim... Nice of you to think of us. I appreciate it, but I already have seen it. When my son was going throught the process of enlisting, I googled anything and everything I could find relating to the Nuke program and that video was part of my discoveries. Maybe someone else in this discussion hasn't seen it yet. Keep sharing any new discoveries, who knows what else is out there to read or watch. Thanks again!

They had another exam today. My son did well. I am so happy that he seems to have found his niche. He says that next week, he is going to have his wisdom teeth removed. Tonight he and some buddies are going to the bar on base. (I can't remember what he said it was called) They can walk to and home from it. No drinking and driving risk. No cab needed either. Makes me worry a little less.
