Lynn, Congratulations on your new Petty Officer. My son,Jeff, passed his comps on Oct. 17. He told me he was walking on base and someone passed him and said, "Good morning, Petty Officer." Jeff thought to himself, is there a Petty Officer behind me checking out my creases? Wait a minute....THAT'S ME!!! I just thought that was so funny!!! Pat

Yeah, my nephew is smart too ... but remarkably grounded for a 20 year old. Still, he's a bit flaky around the edges some days.

Hey, I dated nukes before I got married. That was interesting, LOL.

Back to the "scary smart" train... My father was a mechanical engineer for NASA, my husband is a mechanical engineer for Rolls-Royce jet engines, and now my son is a MM Nuke on a sub.

Ladies, I could tell you "quirky man" stories for days! These are the kind of men who can split atoms, but can't work a window shade... Some one needs to start a support group for "Women Who Live With Engineers!"

Golden Corral, an all you can eat buffet, is offering a free meals to vets and active duty, Nov 17, 5-9 PM. The one near us has yet to ask hubby or myself for ID, but it may be required at other locations. Yes, incredibly crowded, but fun.

Casey, Congratulations to you and ALL your nukes. You must be so proud and deservedly so!! Pat

That's a link for special pay .. which is of course, different from Base pay and allowances. Good site to explore.

Gaylebeth, Go to the person's page that you want to PM. Then hit the "send message" below their picture. Pat

Gaylebeth, To send a PM, you first have to send a friend request. After it is accepted, right below the picture in the upper left corner there is "send message". Hope this helps. Pat

Hi Whitney, We welcome everyone not just moms! Your fiance (by then husband) will be in basic approximately 8 weeks. There is no leave to come home after PIR (graduation). He will leave for Charleston either after PIR or within a few days. I'm sorry that I don't know anything about when you will be able to join him. Someone here will have info for you on that. My son has been in Goose Creek since May. He has several married friends. He told me the wives are very friendly and befriend new arrivals very quickly. Whitney, your husband will be VERY busy with studying, studying, and more studying. You will have to be prepared for that. The better he does on tests and homework, the more "freedom" he will have. Best wishes to you and your fiance. Pat
