Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on May 4, 2018 at 12:37pm: lolol JayDee! Now he just needs to decide if he wants to do more schooling or start working. His GF is at MSU too and she'll be continuing there for another 2 years.

I've been watching the chatter about Lone Sailor. Oh I hope he could pull off a win! That would be so cool :)

Nothing like a sunrise over the ocean ;-D

Comment by JayDee659 on May 4, 2018 at 12:02pm: B's BZ to B! (sorry I couldn't resist). MSU is a wonderful school, my grandpa went to MSU.

Wow, busy day. RED Friday, Star Wars Day and around here it's Oaks Day. The Oaks (for those of you who don't know) is the race for the fillies. I've got some $ on Eskimo Kiss and I've sent my Derby bets to the track with my boss. Lone Sailor is my pick for tomorrow even though he's at 50-1 odds he looked good this morning during his training run.

I got a beautiful picture of the sunrise over the ocean from my Nuke yesterday. I love those pics.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on May 4, 2018 at 11:16am: Hi all - Happy Friday!

lol - yes the sorting hat!

Got a text from B this morning and he received his official acceptance letter to Michigan State :)

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on May 4, 2018 at 9:10am: Sorting hat!! Bwaaahahaaaaa! The navy has all kinds of sneaky ways to figure out which sailors will fit in the square holes and which sailors go in the round holes. We can request but the navy will put them where they think they will fit best. But then, if the navy is loaded with MMs and needs an ET, they figure these smart kids will figure it out.

Comment by Kbpoohbear on May 3, 2018 at 9:48pm: I accidently deleted my post, sad. ;(

We are amused by the sorting hat. It lead to an amazing what if by my daughter. I am excited to see what happens.

Comment by JayDee659 on May 3, 2018 at 8:50pm: Mine wanted MM as she felt it was more hands on and she doesn't like to sit still. She's done a deployment and definitely feels like she made the right decision

Comment by DannysDad on May 3, 2018 at 8:47pm: "Sorting Hat" Bwahahaha (if you don't get that then I can't believe you raised a nuke!) :)

I've read that they get interviewed by someone and asked what rate they want, but as noted below it's needs of the Navy. I also read that they will try and put kids with the right background in the right rating. So if you said you worked on cars as a kid you are more likely to be assigned MM. If you played video games you got ET. (those were the only two examples they gave)

Mine wanted EM. Not sure why other than he probably read that ET was the longest/hardest. He of course was assigned ET. Why? I dunno. Maybe it was his ASVAB score. Maybe they just needed someone to be an ET. Maybe it was because he spent 60hrs a week for the prior 11 months playing video games. (he did work 40hrs a week too) Regardless I'm going to torment him that it was due to his video game "skills". SMH
