on the car front - my son bought a car while in GC it was good for him to be able to get away when he needed a break, he loved just getting out and driving/ getting a cup of coffee or what ever. He really didn't like S.C. much until after he got a car and was able to explore some.
Aaron's girl - no,don't tell me that. I told him to stay away from the girls and focus on school. Plus, he told me that the locals do not like the military guys. He said he would be happy once he could start wearing his civies out, which he can now, so that he wouldn't stand out so much. Heck, the locals should love the Nuke guys. they have the smartest guys there with a great future ahead of them.
Still, I prefer he focus on school. I told him at the very least, don't pick up any girls close to base who are hoping to snag a nice military guy. Visions of Officer and a Gentleman dance through my head.
Diana - you 100% think like I do and have the same feelings and experiences as I have. I try not to go there very often, and try to encourage him all I can, but to myself I think about the past and about how in 5th grade his teacher and I cried together knowing how hard it would be for him down the road because things were coming so easy for him and he didn't know how to study. Then in high school he got good grades, but that was because of his retention. He certainly didn't put in any extra effort. College, well let's just not discuss that one. He knows that he needs the discipline and has mentioned it to me several times and understand how this type of environment really helps him. Now, is he motivated to be at the top of the class? probably not, but he at least does enough to stay in the middle so I'm happy for that right now and secretly praying that somewhere along the way he gets the self motivation to want to work harder and do even better. I'm so glad I am not alone.
Hey, do you have some info. on the vehicle transport places? Did you check some in Phoenix? if so, could you friend me so we can talk about it?
Kat our daughters, who are the same age, must be alike. Mine has been driving her brother's car since he left for boot camp and very willing to keep it. Son has been eyeballing 'fun" cars...Trans Am or Firebird. Not having much luck convincing him an old beater would be better.
Thanks for all the infor. I had NO IDEA about all the infor. shared. What a great education!!
Kat- He will have more time than you think to pick up girls! haha. I think a lot of the guys will go downtown Charleston and hang out around the campus of College of Charleston. I know Aaron's been to a party or two down there... With girls, which didn't make me the happiest girl alive, but I survived. :)
Your son would probably mainly like his car for the weekends... They like to go to the mall, check out gamestop, get some food other than the supposedly crappy galley food, and just get away from base and the Navy life.
Plus I know that Aaron runs a lot of errands with his friends... He takes them to the bank, mall, etc. The bonus: When he takes them places, they pay for his gas and most of the time food, too! Can't beat that!
