Hello, my daughter just got to GC a couple of days ago and I am hoping someone can give me advise on which groups to join, groups out there that I could recommend to my daughter and some ideas on how she can meet people. This is her first weekend and she doesn't have a liberty buddy. She shipped alone and hasn't met any other girls who are new.

Too bad i didn't read sooner as my son set his forms home so I could do his taxes.  I usually use H&R Block at home, but have not looked at it yet.  Got all of the others done tho.

Yes my son also said someone was doing his for free. Tell son to ask around in class to see if anyone has heard who is doing that. I will ask son if I remember and post.

A's_momma, I suggested TurboTax Military to my son, but he said that there are some POs there who assist with taxes, so he was planning to go to them.

Does anyone have tax filing advice? Son is using turbotax military version and the question asks about the states he has lived in due to a perminent change of station. Does Great Lakes IL count as a PCS?

1proudmama, we r planning on getting a villa, want to be in Charleston at least 5days, so we will have more than enough time to get in touch. I was planning to go in April and visit my son but we decided not to go. Our sailor comes down home every time he gets a chance and he was just here this past weekend. Have fun in Charleston, hope it's a lovely weekend.

boy wonder mom - thanks for your comments it's nice to know of others who struggled and are doing well now too. Are you planning on going to graduation? We usually get a Villa would love to meet you if you have time. Going down in April for another friends power school graduation so I get a sneak peek on what to expect.

Stephanie C, the studying at home issue for married sailors ( if their wife is in Goose Creek with them ) is a real issue.

The best advice is, if you have not moved there yet, and are planning to, is get housing very close to the NNPTC campus ( and to Prototype) as possible.  The on base housing nearest the NNPTC campus works great.  That way they can come home for dinner and go back without a long commute.

The text books are all classified confidential in A-School, Power School, etc.

They apparently do this to train them in how to handle classified material in A-School as well as for other reasons.

My son learned early that the tests were as much about the way you expressed the answer, as they were about content, so studying the exact material the Navy presents, and expressing it using the exact same type of wording as the Navy text used, appeared to him, to be critical.

Learning basic electronics, for instance, out of a different text book, appeared to him to be counter-productive.

1proudmama, my sailor is a MM in power school now. A school was a struggle for him, he was # 48 of 49 sailors graduating. He used to say exactly as your son, none of what I studied was included on the test". He had never failed in anything before and that shaked his confidence a bit. It takes time to adjust to the strong study routine. My sailor as yours is doin great in power school, a great average and study time management, and best of all, his confidence is back. Oh, my sailor graduates power school same date as yours!
