Comment by britefuture on June 18, 2014 at 8:22am: Good morning everyone. Hope you are all well. It's hot here in the North East. Suppose to be in the upper 90's. Yuk! I do not enjoy summer temps..

I spoke to my favorite Sailor who started Prototype this week. He sounds encouraged that this phase will be difficult but not like PS. He loves a good challenge. They gave a grad. date of Dec. 19th. That happens to be his birthday so he's over the moon with excitement. It's so good to hear excitement in his voice about the Nuke program. It seems that the longer he sits with nothing to do, the more discouraged he gets.

Comment by Dink(Vinson) on June 17, 2014 at 11:02pm: I haven't been on for a while, but just wanted to say I'm looking forward to meeting people at Power School graduation, August 1st! Hope everyone is doing great.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on June 17, 2014 at 9:58pm: I will send you a PM with contact info. ooh on your page.

Comment by Margavant28 on June 17, 2014 at 8:15pm: CoTwinSailorsMom I accepted your friend request but I guess I am not sure where to access your message?

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on June 17, 2014 at 6:52pm: My son got the hockey shirt I sent him in the mail today and he loves it! LOL I knew he would. I asked him to send me a picture of him wearing it - hopefully he will. 2 years ago when the Kings won he got to go to the parade and then the party that they held for season ticket holders (one of his best friends families has season tix). He's bummed that this year he didn't get to go. Oh well - he's happy his team won! Here's a picture of Sailor and hubby with the Stanley Cup when the Kings won 2 years ago (our neighbor works for the Kings and had the cup at his house - we got to kiss it and touch it and drink out of it!)

Comment by momtom1932 on June 17, 2014 at 4:49pm: My son is 1405-5 so I guess I will plan Nov. 21, the thing about maybe not getting Christmas leave makes me sad, I would rather he stay after grad and come home for Christmas, we shall see I guess

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on June 17, 2014 at 4:44pm: I posted the below comment on the Sub mom group and I had to repost it here as it is so true.(SpongeSam refers to sub sailors remind me of SpongeBob)

My future spongeSam called. He needed directions in the commersary to find ingredients for a recipe. I think that is typical nuke. Ubber smart but cant find baking soda.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on June 17, 2014 at 4:25pm: Look for the friend request on your page.

I will give you my cell phone for when we are in GC.

I do know that mine has been told to find an apartment as they will have to move off base.

Comment by MichianaMom on June 17, 2014 at 12:09pm: CO-Twin, just wondering, you mentioned that your son is staying in GC for prototype. My son said "that's the plan right now", regarding staying in GC. Do you know if they've been told anything official yet? We are planning on making a quick trip for 8/1 PS grad, driving down from Michigan on Thursday, then heading home Sunday.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on June 17, 2014 at 11:09am: Happy Tuesday! Nice to see everyone moving through the pipeline! Mine is just finishing up his first week of "on-crew" in prototype.....still trying to get an idea of a grad date - was told September??? but then heard elsewhere it's October??? now. He says he hasn't heard anything more on it lately....guess I'll just have to wait!
