Harley - wow - sorry to hear about your daughter's snowboarding accident! Hopefully she will be able to keep up with A School, but it's possible she could get rolled back a class.
You should join our nuke mom's group - it's more active than this page and you will get more (and quicker) responses over there.

Just talked to her--she just finished at the orthopedic specialist. She is in a cast, has to go back in 2 weeks and possibly be in the cast for 4-6 weeks. She isn't sure how this will play-out with her class schedule.

I have a couple of questions-My sailor went snowboarding in NC on Saturday with a large group of sailors from the base. She is in A school. She had a blast, BUT fell and broke her left wrist. She went back to the base with the group late Saturday night, but medical was closed. Then someone took her to the ER where they xrayed her wrist and confirmed the break. Questions: 1. Will this mess up her Nuke pipeline? 2. Will she have out of pocket expenses for the ER? It is her left wrist and she is right handed, so she can still take notes and test. The only thing is PT might be limited for a couple/few weeks. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Hello all, I am new here! We have PIR for my nuke son on Friday. Can anyone tell me what fast food, etc. is available on base? One of his favorite gifts has always been an assortment of fast food gift cards, but I don't know what kind to get him:)

I stayed at the Navy Lodge in Goose Creek. It is called Foster Creek Villas. The reservation must be made by your sailor. They have a Facebook page. It is base housing that is rented when there is a vacancy. There is also a RV park next to it.
Address - 500 Pulaski Cir
- Goose Creek, South Carolina 29445

Ditto to Donna (Eric's Mom). Hyatt Place at the airport is where I like to stay, too. Close to restaurants, shopping, NNPTC, and downtown. Very centrally located. Good value with free breakfast.

We stayed at the Hyatt Place near the Charleston Airport. It was a wonderful hotel. Staff was the best I've had, room were extremely clean. They have a morning breakfast that changes each day (Hot food) and a 24hr room service and a small bar in the lobby. Their shuttle with take you within 5 miles of the hotel for free (24/7). There's a lot of places around the area. I would stay there again if I went back to Charleston.
