Charlotte, you are so funny! I don't mind sharing. Scott is on a submarine called the Miami and he is an MM3, nuke sailor. We're from Michigan.
pmgcakes, my son rented a house with other sailors in Middle Grove NY which isn't far from the base. Unfortunately I never made it there to visit. Prototype is difficult and frustrating. They work in a big nuclear plant and assignments consist of checking and writing down stuff which they then have to show to an instructor. Sometimes finding someone to clear your work is difficult. This is a very simple explanation because my son didn't tell me much of anything specific. I do think though that he teamed up with another sailor and they helped each other find the right people to clear their work. Scott thought it was beautiful in NY but he loves cold weather...

My Aaron lived in a house with 4 others, I think it went ok for them... they had problems with the landlord though, couldn't get repairs done - went without heat for awhile in the winter and sutch. after he moved out the place caught fire because landlord started a fire int he fireplace which the chimney hadn't been cleaned foreever. That apt complex sounds great! Aaron wanted a house for some reason... I thought an apt would be less hassle.

I live in NY, altho BS is still 4 hours away, much better than the 15 Hrs to SC. My son has asked that I start looking into housing option for he and 2 others. there not sure what they want apartment -vs- house , I found a beautiful, new construction rental apartment complex, that is very close to the base. typical one yr lease but they said that they would and have worked with the nukes on 6 mo. rentals. prices were pretty impressive (for Ny standards) for 3Brs., 2 Ba units w/ garage and W&D and they offer 3 different floor plans and internet/cable included with rent. - Im stearing them towards apartments instead of a house, Less maintance I think.. any thoughts?

Aaron's coming home for a very quick visit nex week! its Josh's first highschool soccer game - Aaron was part of the group that got soccer started at this school - his senior year was the first year. And then Aaron was assistant coach while waiting to go to boot camp. Aaron considers the team his baby and is excited for Josh to play! Its nice to have him close enough to come home - actually the games are 200 more miles away in Bozeman, so 14 hour drive....lol but he can see his grandparents at the same time.

My son has been in for 2 1/2 years and it still makes me sad to move anything in his room. I had to clean up a little for my sister's visit so she could use the bed and I nearly cried when I started. I thought it would be easier by now. Glad to know I'm not alone! Thank you, wonderful Navy moms, for sharing.
