Hi ya'll! My son is an MM in class 1111b that starts on Monday. Anyone else? He will be coming home for the entire stand down...he ran into one of his old buddies that left for BC in April and is now in A school, so he is riding home with him. Great for us, great for him, great for his buddy...they can split the gas and we don't have to make the trip to get him. He will be driving his truck back. Can't wait to see him again.

MMNukeMom... That is great that your son found a ride back. Kind of wish our guy had been so lucky but on the other hand we are looking forward to seeing where he is at now. We are driving out to pick him up on the 20th. He is an ET and so far I haven't heard if he has a class number yet. He said that they are "classing up" tomorrow so hopefully he will get assigned a class and then we can have an address for him. Grandma wants to send him a ote and I don't have an address for him yet. It will be interesting to see how our son does without a car. He has had access to one since he got his license 6 years ago. Sounds like enough other guys will have cars down there so he can hitch a ride to the mall, movies etc. with someone else. Now that he has to afford the car it may be awhile before he decides he needs one.

ya, i think there are plenty of guys with vehicles, but my son wanted to take his truck back with him. no since in it just sitting here; he paid for it and he wants to keep it, so i think it's all part of the independence thing with him. he wanted his own cell phone plan, he wants his own car insurance, he has really got this independence thing going...and i feel pretty good about it. he's 21 and has really grown up over the past year, but more so since BC. i am so proud of him....as i'm sure we all are of our new sailors! i haven't gotten his new address yet either.

Julsburd, my sailor told me he is in class 1111-T, yours is in the same class :) Hope they give them stuff to do tomorrow, mine is bored out of his mind!

Thanks for the info nvmomma! We talked to our son twice yesterday but he didn't offer up the class number. He is really ready to get busy again too! He went to the mall on Saturday with 3 other guys (probably your's...) and wandered around. We laughed at him because it was just like the teenage girls who wandered the malls in "packs". As he sheepishly put it "ya but we have the buddy system and can't go anywhere by ourselves." I am learning all the time about Navy protocol. It makes sense to have all these rules that seem kind of odd at peacetime. Our military has to operate as if it were war time because if that ever happens on our soil (god forbid) they wouldn't have time to change the rules huh?

haha julsburd, he didn't offer up the class #, I had to pry it out of him. And yes, our boys were together @ the mall Saturday - so funny.

Julsburd, my son just told me they won't start their actual classes until January. Sounds like they're just filling time until stand down - ugh.
