I'm not sure how long it takes for the average security clearance to be completed. However, I do think that they can begin classes before it comes through. I might be wrong.
Had not heard about the Captain's Mast yesterday, but Taylor sat in on one shortly after he got there and said it was a very traumatic thing to watch.

Janet R - Taylor was a bit nervous when he found out that they were moving up his class start date too. He's really excited, but I think a little intimidated. And Ari's right - at least they have 3 weeks to start getting in the proper frame of mind for classes.

Thanks Debbie in MD! I guess we need to start shopping around. It's good to know that some movers may offer a military discount.
Just found out that Taylor "classes up" on March 25th instead of May 1 now. That is music to my ears! There has been so much free time during the first month that its a good thing for him to get back into a really structured day schedule. And maybe the shopping will slow down a little bit ;o).

Hi CTI moms! Have any of you had experience with shipping a vehicle out to Monterey? My son has reached Phase III now and apparently he's allowed to have his car. I live in Chicago so it's just too far for me to consider driving it to him.
-
-
Hi Sk1115 - They can call and email once they get there. When did he leave for Monterey? If he doesn't have a cell phone with him, he might have to borrow one or use the pay phone. The first couple of days there are a little hectic. Phase 1 is usually about 2 weeks long - Nancy (aka Taylor's mom)

MB Jane - How did Craig do on his first test? When did his language classes actually begin?
-
-
Ladies - you were absolutely correct about the shopping. Taylor has only been there a week and he went to the mall today to buy new clothes. I just sent him 2 big boxes of the clothes he left at home, so I'm not sure where he's going to keep all of this.
KarenC - thanks for the tip about PF Chang's. Taylor's birthday is next Friday so I've sent him a gift card for a birthday dinner.
Debbie in MD - How was graduation? Does your sailor leave on Saturday for Monterey?
-
-
My son just arrived in Monterey yesterday and already went shopping at the PX (no NEX there) today. Apparently he's not even going to wait 2 weeks until he can leave the base to start shopping ;o).
Debbie - you are going to love PIR! It is really an exciting and wonderful experience.
-
-
Thank you, Ellen, Dee and Noe! I will encourage my son to do some volunteering while he's there. I can't wait to go to Monterey for a visit!

Thanks for the info Noe and Sailor Craig's Mom! So, lots of cleaning and shopping in the beginning, huh? I would say that out of all of Taylor's many talents that cleaning is not one of them. He does enjoy shopping though, so that's a little scary. He also loves to eat out, so there goes some more money. Yikes! ;o) ~ Nancy
