Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on April 11, 2014 at 8:34pm: Hey long time no post William. Good to hear from you. Neat about the belt buckle. congrates to him.

Comment by BoyWonderMom on April 11, 2014 at 8:16pm: Girl chief, congrats to your new sailor about to start the Nuke education. I found myself smiling as I read your post about the book store. One year after my sailor boy left home, I still find all kind of books everywhere in his room. :)

Comment by girl chief on April 11, 2014 at 7:49pm: Cybermom & William - Bravo Zulu to your sailors.

Comment by girl chief on April 11, 2014 at 7:49pm: I, too, read more than post. But it has been 1 week since PIR and I haven't had much of a chance to even read until today. I do want to relate a story about my Nuke before too much time slips by:

Last Saturday (early morning), we went to O'Hare to be with our Sailor while she waited for her flight to Charleston. After we went through security, we all gathered up (Nukes and family members) walked en mass toward the gate. There were a dozen or so Nukes (who nicknamed themselves the Geek Squad) and about as many family members. As we made our way through the terminal, all of a sudden I could hear "oohs" and "ahhs" coming from our group. My Sailor said, "Look!" On our right was a book store and I looked around to see that all of the sailors with us were fixated on the books...like seeing an oasis in the desert. My Nuke, noticing the excitement of the others, turned to me exclaiming, "Mom, I have found my people!"

I'm still smiling!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on April 11, 2014 at 6:40pm: Thanks susank! It's actually a lighthouse & some waves....he got that when he finished power school - it's his 4th! (He went in with 2.)

Comment by susank on April 11, 2014 at 5:20pm: William my son went to the ball last year. Make sure he gets the formal pictures! Congrats to him and the crew for a job well done!

Comment by susank on April 11, 2014 at 5:19pm: I love to see pictures B's nuke mom! And yes your boys are very handsome! Is that a red, white, and blue navy tat? I like it!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on April 11, 2014 at 4:36pm: William - Submarine Birthday Ball - sounds like a fun time for your sailor! And BZ to him and all the sailors for the award for their sub. Well done!

Thanks boy wonder mom ;-)

Comment by BoyWonderMom on April 11, 2014 at 2:42pm: B'sNukeMom, you have a pair of very handsome happy boys :)

Comment by jfrier(EM) on April 11, 2014 at 2:29pm: I was in GC this past weekend, I watched the "nukes" play in a kickball tournament. It was the best. I was not there for a graduation. We drove up to just check on our boy. Is there anyone on here with a sailor in 1412? Also with the name

Stevens or White?
