Hi all. :)
I know I saw a few moms out there today who mentioned their sons were in class 1101 starting in November. It'll be here before we know it!
For those of you who don't know, I'm Aaron's girlfriend. He's an EM who graduated A school in September. :)
I can't wait to get to know all of you, and hopefully meet you all in April! :)

2nd hardest test in Power was today! My sailor did well, I hope yours did too!

Was it really 2nd hardest? :/ 

They have another one Wednesday.. and I think this one is going to kick Aaron's butt more than today's did. Guess I won't expect to talk to him tonight! :)

 

Anyone else sooooo ready for this to be over with? But then again, Power School graduation means prototype and then the fleet. Where is the time going!?

and the one Wednesday is supposed to be the hardest! first and second hardest tests in one week? ouch
WHAT!? Oh greaaat. If I would have known this sooner I would have definitely gotten some cookies out to him for this week. Oh well. I'll tell him to go have a drink Wednesday night... Since I always chewed him out when he drank on weekdays (its a thing of the past now since he saw how much it upset me) it'll allow him to relax even more :)
you know, I almost wonder if it's just some psychological game. Jacob hasn't been doing well on RP (or whatever was monday) but he did the best out yesterday of the last 3 tests in that subject. Maybe it's just a way to make sure they take things seriously. Though he did say that if he does well on the test Wednesday that he was going to take it a little easier until comps on the studying, which worries me but I can't be nagging nancy either.

Not being nagging nancy is so hard for me.. But I've definitely been working on it! haha.

Aaron definitely did not so great on the yesterday's test, but that doesn't mean I'm any less proud of him. His score was still high... but probably his 2nd lowest so far. 

I haven't heard yet on test results.  I'll text later.
Thursday is an Advancement test I was told! But also was told hardly anyone gets advanced and is more for just the points!!!
Haven't heard about that! I'll have to question Aaron on it tonight...
Heard from my son on the "widowmaker"  Did well, glad it is over with.  Didn't say anything about an advancement test tomorrow.  Boy what a week! 
I'm glad to hear he did well, my3sons. :) I have a feeling Aaron is staying to get his homework done with right away... Way to leave me hanging, Aaron!!
Yup! Heard the same about the advancement test
