Hi All, My son went thru bootcamp 2 years ago and just graduationed from Nuke School Pipeline this past month, so I know exactly what you all are going thru. My sons bff all thru high school is in this division so I will be following along with you guys since he has been like a 2nd son to us and I will probably just refer to him as my SR...LOL Feels weird to be back on this first part of the roller coaster ride. I got a phone call from him the first week he was there because he needed my sons address for his security clearance paperwork, then I just got a letter from him this past Wed.

As you can see I referred to the last 2 years as being a roller coaster ride. Because that is exactly what Nuke school feels like. My son had a great experience through out the Nuke Pipeline but it is one tough course.

I just received a letter from my son,he is a little down in this one. He has to go back to the dentist because he is in pain? They pulled his wisdom teeth & now he believes he has dry socket this is very painful, I hope this does not set him back, I will be upset as he will be to, ,just say some prayer for me & him. When a child does not feel well,the Mon don't either, I hope he gets better?
