I all!!  My son will be heading to BS in the next few weeks.  He's at the end of his Power School classes and graduation is just around the corner.  He just let me know that he will be going to BS, so I thought I'd get a head start on my reading.  LOL

By the way, loved Saratoga Springs!

Anyone have a Sailor leaving BS that has some furniture to get rid of?! My son is moving into an unfurnished apartment and might be interested.

MichianaMom - every single one of those we went to when we were there! (hmmmm I must have suggested them to you before!).  We also had some good sushi but I don't remember the name of the place.  No matter where you go, I'm sure you'll have a good time. 

Enjoy the graduation!  BZ again to your sailor ;-)

Heading to BS for Proto grad next week - Hooyah!  Anyone have any new restaurant recommendations for downtown Saratoga Springs? I've got Auggies, Druthers Brewing, Putnam Market, Jacob & Anthony's and Iron Roost in BS as possibilities.

MMSailorsmomWA - He could also look into the Balfour Beatty privatized housing on the support base in Saratoga Springs. They have a "single-Sailor" program that can help him find a roommate to share a 2 bedroom condo. Cost is 50% of his BAH and includes all utilities (except cable/internet).
My son and his friend are renting there. I think it is $30/month more for fully furnished.

Hi B'sNukeMom thanks for the reply. Oh, I know better than to make plans ahead for Prototype grad! When I asked about possible grad date, I forgot to add that my son says the reactor's been down since he started, so I was wondering about the likelihood of an on-time grad. lol.
He also said, if the contractor can't fix certain things in a certain timeframe, they will roll the next scheduled maintenance into this downtime which will mean a 4 month delay. Somehow, I think this will happen. My kid has already had a 2 month grad-hold and a 2-month pre-fill hold. His 2 year ship-out-to-boot-camp anniversary is in three weeks, so another delay wouldn't surprise me.
I was curious about the class number being 1406 since he started well into 2015, but he said they don't really go by class numbers in proto.
Also, he cleared up why he has the watch schedule through August - he said he actually has the watch schedule through the next year - it doesn't change, he only sent us the part through August. :)

B'sNukeMom - Thanks for bumping the information.  My sailor told me he's found a place in Middle Grove today but that it's not available until 31st.  Says he will stay at motel he's currently in until Saturday but then it is raising price for racing season.  He says he'll sleep in his car after that.  I'm happy he's found a place but stressed he plans on sleeping in his car for over a week!?!  I asked him to try to find a friends floor to sleep on.  Hope he does.

MMSailorsMomWA - I also bumped the discussion above on Apartments in Ballston Spa.  You'll find some more info there too!
