At least you know that he won't be deployed for a while. My son is serving his third year and just got off of his first deployment. Tell him to work hard - it is hard work - to get on a good ship. It can make a huge amount of difference.
Lots of studying but with other work too. They cram a lot in your head in a little amount of time.

Im sitting here with my son, MM3, graduating Nuke School tomorrow (woo hoo). He said for A school and Nuke School, if your Sailor is unsure about anything, they should go to thier instructor and clear up any concept error for that day, very important to understand the concept, but memorize details. proper eating and sleeping habits are key. time management is very important as well. Also he just said take off from studying on Friday nights, and enjoy your time off.... thats about all I could get from him. hope this helps, from my point of view, it has been the most stressful 10 months of our lives... but worth every moment. there will be times where they feel they just cant do it (nuke school) encourage them in every way that you can. good luck...

Hi Debbie,
I realize this reply is coming late, not sure if you will even get it, but my son is also in 1201MT. He is an ET. He was just home for Christmas(the first time since bootcamp) and he seemed well. There is no doubt that he is experiencing stress, but he seems to be putting it in perspective. I wonder if they know each other. My son says he has made some very nice connections with other Nukes, and the different rates banter back and forth. Since his return, he has been in touch indicating that their toughest test is this Thursday. Any news from your son?
