Hi aaronsgirl11,
How was your trip to see Aaron? Hope it was great. We have a great visit with Nathan. Of course, it was too short. We watched movies, did a little black Friday shopping, had our dinner Friday as my husband worked Thurs. nite. My son even made a pie! My daughter called from her ship Thurs. She had a good dinner on the ship. Nate has a 3.5 overall with the phyiscs and the math tests of last week. I can't wait til Christmas and being able to see both my kids. Hopefully Lindsay won't be deployed again when Nate graduates Power School. -

My trip was great. :)
It was so nice just to have time to ourselves.. not worrying about pleasing his parents and brothers and my curfew.
I'm glad you had a good visit. :) Moments like those are so precious. I hope your daughter isn't deployed when he graduates, too! I'm sure he would be thrilled to have his sister there with him! :) And you'll have both your kids together for Christmas? You're a lucky lady. :) My mom doesn't get that this year again... My brother will be spending his time under the water!
Great job to Nate! Keep up the great work!! :)
Aaron's Physics test didn't go so great.. But he expects a 4.0 on his math test coming up. :)
During Thanksgiving dinner I had the pleasure of hearing the way they grade our sailors' test. Very interesting to say the least. The Nuke program is definitely a tough one! -

Since 4-22 is Good Friday what are the chances of them moving the graduation to 4-21? Anyone heard anything on this? Right now we are planning to fly in on Wednesday anyway.

I bet it'll still be Friday..They probably knew it was Good Friday when they scheduled it.
Are the Post Offices closed on Good Friday? -
-
-
I can't remember from last year. (Old age!) I bet not though because it is a religious holiday.
-

I just googled it.. Nothing between President's day and Memorial day. I would assume it would still be Friday. Now if Good Friday/ Easter was a national holiday then I'd say Thursday. But I know some schools don't even have an "Easter Break"... It's "Spring Break." :)

We get Good Friday off from school, but it's called a weather day. Our Spring Break is always the 3rd week of March regardless where Easter falls.

1 more test until "Christmas Break" !!!!! :) :) :)

Hi there, My son is an MM3 in this class and just told us this weekend that he is graduating on the 22nd. He graduated A school in August and had to wait until November to get started in Power School. I hear the graduation from Power School is another big one. Looking forward to it.
