Well our sailor officially gets to the books starting today. Done with all that work/life balance and into the real school. He knows his target graduation dates so working on schedules now. How close to graduation do they know they have passed A school?

Hi atwinmom, and welcome to the group. Congrats on your son's arrival in Charleston. We're here to help each other, ourselves, and (of course) our Nukes.
From which phase of training is your son graduating? "A" School and Power School both their graduations on base, while Prototype graduation is held on the Yorktown at Patriots Point. Each of these graduations marks a big hurdle, so my advice would be to go to as many as you can.
A Feb graduation means they'll be in their dress blues. To me, they seem much more formal than the whites. Everyone looks so sharp and on form.
I hope this helps. If you haven't already, I *strongly* suggest to also join the Nuke Moms group. It's much more active than this group.

atwinmom - which school is he graduating from? You might want to post your question in the nuke moms group. Maybe someone will have a sailor in the same class as your son & has the answer. He should have that info though as the grad dates are usually known as soon as the school starts. Has he asked his SLPO or a fellow classmate?

Will do! Across the street from the Obstenent Daughter is Poe's Tavern (named after Edgar Allen Poe). Great, casual, beach burger place. Both are on Sullivan's Island, no more than a 5/10 minute drive from Isle of Palm.
