Our son is an ET in GC ... also took the E5 test Wed. Last I'd heard, their prototype was starting in late Nov. or early Dec. Has two roommates that moved into apartment yesterday. Amazingly, already received their moving allowance! Their official change to prefill command is 9/21. Hope all our sailors are successful at their moves, prototype starts, and, eventually, sailing through to the END of prototype!

Son was suppose to start prototype in Nov. Sounds like equipment failure is going to delay it. Did the Oct class start on time?

Betsyleebig,
My son was also suppose to be in the November class. He also said looks like a delay. Maybe this will delay them until after Christmas and enable them to come home on leave for the holiday. There may be a bright side.

Was your son suppose to be in 1203 or 1204? My son was suppose to be in 1204 prefill. He said only 2 sailors were actual put in it and he wasn't one of them. I don't think he has any idea when they are going to class up. He is coming home for Thanksgiving but has to go back Sun and that is his birthday! Oh well at least he will be home for a few days.
