Thanks for the info Cindy! He does have civilian experience from his CADD degree. So maybe he will be able to use that along the way. He is determined to strike for ATI again in a year. I just hope he can get it!
Thanks kk- I posted a note yesterday on the Undes group. I saw your profile pic there I thought that was you!Our son B is now Undes Fireman and I don't have any idea of what that is or what he will be doing?
MNM- Thanks sweetie, I would really miss all of you if I left this great group! I would love to stay if it's okay with all of you!

Connie- I am better about all of this today! I have been reading and learning a lot about the Udes status. My Hubs, went in as Udes when he was Navy and he got Dental Tech, he said it was definately not a wrong choice for him. This could very well be a "Blessing in Disguise" for B!
