Comment by navymom3 on September 3, 2011 at 12:08pm: navynrocks- congrats on the phone call.

Comment by navynrocks (1201M) on September 3, 2011 at 12:04pm: We got a call early this am , He is in RCU so they are letting them call home today

sosome of yall may get calls today instead of Sunday afternoon which is when he has been Calling. Even though its his Birthday Monday it just felt like it was mine and got the best present a mom can get.

Comment by navymom3 on September 2, 2011 at 10:59pm: Sandy my son is the CTM. He was in the fit program for 1 week until he passed the run. Normally at BC they cannot have there phone until they leave for there school. Also if there school does not start right away they still go to the a school location and get started on indoc and watch quals. Then they get put on barracks duty until class starts. The lucky ones get some of the volunteer jobs that may come available. My son would recommend doing a volunteer job if it was available as he enjoyed his.

Comment by navynrocks (1201M) on September 2, 2011 at 5:59pm: OMG i wish i had known that i would have sent it.lol He says if he goes into holding he may go to the NEX & buy a cell or Go phone but i didnt think they could have anything till they leave for school?

Comment by navynrocks (1201M) on September 2, 2011 at 5:45pm: Yey Sandy, he is my only child ,guess thats why it has been so hard and lonely

missing him but will be so so glad when he moves on . Also his Birthday is Labor day and ive never missed a B-Day, He turns the Big 20. I wonder if i could have

ordered a big cake and had delivered? LOL!

Comment by navynrocks (1201M) on September 2, 2011 at 2:23pm: Hi All, whats the difference between C school and A School? Soon as my son gets thru the RCU unit he heard that the Nuke school (A) doesnt start till about the 24th of the month so guess this means he is in the Holding Unit? The Navy assigned his Rate for Nuke School and i hope they can change it if its not what he wants but Navy Needs come first.

At this rate i would take anything to get him on into SC which is so much closer to me then there in GL, Were going on 4 months there b/c of the Pneumonia UGH but hope good news comes today after seeing the dr. Fingers Crossed!

Comment by Proudsistah on September 2, 2011 at 12:53pm: Sandy sailor son- the thread got longer... Haha! But yeah i told my sister thAt i really want to see her run once she get back home and like sandy's daughter.. She said "i hate running now"

Sandy- send me a message with ur daughter's last name maybe my sister knows her..

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on September 2, 2011 at 12:30pm: navymom, that makes sense about the E5 Sailors. Lets hope that the Navy is not putting Sailors in a Rate that they can not handle. I assume that these CTN Returnee Sailors all scored good on the ASVAB.

Sandy, my son told me that Navy schools are the best. I have a friend whose husband was in the Navy for 10 years. He was enlisted. When he transferred into the Airforce, he got automatically promoted to a Major. (of course he entered the Airforce after having lots of courses through the Navy)

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on September 2, 2011 at 12:22pm: Sandy, if she has managed to stick it out for 2 months I am sure she will make it. I bet they weed people out in the first month.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on September 2, 2011 at 12:19pm: Sandy, I take that back what I said. My son's class was hard but your daughters course sounds really difficult for someone out of boot camp. Your daughter must be brilliant. I am guessing that she spends every waking moment studying.
