britefuture - that's so cool that you were able to visit the Flight 93 Memorial.  Someday my husband and I hope to visit the Memorials.

hi everyone, yes yesterday was an emotional day ! i hope everybody's sailor is safe !

Comment by britefuture on September 11, 2013 at 10:41pm

Hello everyone. Hope you're having a good week.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Flight 93 Memorial today. It was a long but beautiful drive through the Pennsylvania country side. If you have a chance to visit, I recommend it. As somber as the moment was, the site is beautiful. A Ranger was explaining the site to us and said, "Flight 93 was turned, almost belly up, right above where we are standing. Two and a half seconds later, it was there." He pointed to, "The field of Honor". Ugh! What an emotional day.

Just to chime in on the school thing.  My sailor son did well in school (public), never brought  much home for home work but pretty consistent averaged  B's for grades.  The thing was he took classes like Speech, Art Metals, English, History.  Notice not a lot of the higher science classes, AP or college credit?   His statement concerning choosing Navy...."I could go through 4 years of college and still not have a job, but they(the Navy)will train me and pay me.  And I think I can get into the Nuke Program." I have worked in the Title 1 program for 16 years, and parent involvement is huge.

Cathy, so glad you finally have some answers!!

Spoke to my son today and he took his first test this morning. He passed so he's happy! Me too! He has started drinking coffee by the way. He wasn't drinking coffee when he left home in June, but he needs it now. Yesterday he was up from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. then had to get up at 5 again this morning.

Thank you.  I am so relieved.

Comment by BoyWonderMom on September 10, 2013 at 5:24pm
I've been reading everyone's posts about their sailors before the Navy and school. Seems like our kids all come from the same place. My son also felt that college wasn't giving him what he needed. Even though he completed an associates degree before joining the Navy, college wasn't for him, ( his words ). I felt he wasn't challenged enough. All his friends are a success in college thanks to the great school system for gifted kids in orange co. Fl. My sons first choice was aviation mechanic but also chosen for Nuke School due to his asvad scores. He thought about it for months and decided for nuke. Now I just pray that he completes his A school, and reaches his goals.One school at a time. His 20th birthday is this Sunday and it will be the first year away from home

Cathy, how wonderful that your son will be recovering with your care, and so good to hear that he won't be disqualified for subs, blessings your way for you and your boy
