Comment by BoyWonderMom on May 1, 2014 at 4:28pm: Just received the invite for class 1402 graduation. A simple announcement means so much!

Comment by BoyWonderMom on May 1, 2014 at 3:53pm: 1proudmama, same here with my sailor. Now that the grad date is just around the corner, I don't hear much from him. Just a quick text on test day to let me know how it went. No scores anymore, no need for them. It took a few tests for him to accept that a passing score is good enough. The first 3 months of power school he was flying thru, no mandatory hours, even though he always studied 25 plus hours. He knows that the only way to pass is studying and then some more. 1proudmama, God willing we will be at graduation on June 6.
William thank you for your good wishes, I just sent a text to my sailor about making sure he relearn the material that he failed. He told me that he's working on this with his instructor and some of his friends that did passed the test. He's trying his best, he wants this to happen. I remember that Nuke wasn't his first choice, and now, he eats and breath Nuke. Praying that everything goes well for all sailors in 1402. :)

Comment by 1proudmama/EM/USSLincoln/CVN72 on May 1, 2014 at 10:56am: seems like tests are starting to get harder for 1402 group. Son was testing in mid 3's now 2.7 last test. failing last test by .02. just told him to make it over the 2.5 mark and all will be good. 1st half of power school was a lot easier and enjoyable for him. Hang in there fellow 1402's we will make it through.

Comment by William in Nashua on April 30, 2014 at 11:10pm: The boy wonder mom, that is great news. The important thing is he is caught up with the class now and is not falling behind. Just make sure the one he flunked that he relearns the material he will need to know it on the final comp exam. Good luck to everyone.

Comment by BoyWonderMom on April 30, 2014 at 6:08pm: My son just told me he passed today's test. No more tests this week. Confidence is in. So happy for him. Trusting and relying in God. Praying for all our sailors :))

Comment by ⚓ darsatm ⚓ on April 29, 2014 at 11:37am: Thank you Erin...it does help...

Comment by JeffsMom on April 29, 2014 at 11:17am: Stay strong ladies! Our job is to send encouragement and love, right! Just like always. :D

I talked to my son last weekend and his exam grades seem to be going up. So, I'm hopeful that things have "clicked" and he's starting to get it. But, he doesn't graduate until Aug 1st. So, he has a ways to go to finish. Hoping things continue to get better for him.

Sending good wishes and prayers to all of you and your sailors!

Comment by BoyWonderMom on April 28, 2014 at 9:47pm: My son is also having a rough time right now. They had a second test last week on Friday and he failed. Thank God he still have a good enough grade average. He's keeping positive. Studying lots of hours over his mandatory.This week he only have one test on Wednesday. Next week will be two, one in Tuesday, another on Friday. Eight more tests, including the final, he said. I just keep on encouraging him, lots of support, lots of praying for all our kids.
