I didn't hear from my SR any word on her A school orders. She'll be going to corpsman training. Her recruiter told her she'd go to GL (even though a few weeks before she left, he told her it might be…Continue

Hi all, I thought I'd start a discussion for those of us with SRs who will be heading to Charleston, SC together for the NUKE program so we can stay together through that as well!

Well, in case you didn't know- I'm one of those teachers.... (wink) wear the funky clothes and all that... Anyway, I change the theme in my classroom each year- the decor and the reading corner, etc. I've decided to do a military theme this year in honor of Christina's new life. 'It's not just a class-it's an adventure" "We want YOU for 2nd grade!"
Yesterday I was out visiting the various recruit offices to see if I could get some posters to decorate with. I have to tell you how very nice and accomodating these people were. They went out of their way to get 'extra' things for the kids- pencils, tattoos, stickers- things I wasn't asking for. They also had the audacity to tell ME they appreciate MY job. I quickly shut that down (not risking my life in my profession....) however, I left each time feeling more proud of the group of people my daughter will be spending so much time with and learning from.
God bless our military~
What is normal? regonbowtopia...
I recorded that show and watched it last night...and our kids think they had it tough...haha That is some seirous training! I would never have inagined! I was amazed by Smith and his knee trouble! WOW
Normal? Not the kids of this group. They are going on to "new" EXTRAORDINARY lives. With moms like you all, they could be nothing else.
makdab, They have more space then you think on board ship. I had plenty of stuff when I was in (20 years ago). Between my rack and stand up locker there is a lot of room. It was the best sleep I ever had, being rocked to sleep every night.
I put this information on facebook, but since perhaps not everyone is on facebook I'm reposting. Last night I watched part of a show about training to become part of SWCC(something like Small Warfare craft crew) on Discovery channel. I thought it was interesting to get some insight into the training required for different jobs in the Navy. I don't know the name of the show but if you're interested you could probably check the Discovery channel website for more information.
makdab - My son is headed to Norfolk after leave and he thinks he'll be living on the ship also. He also is excited to get started, he's tired of training. If your Sailor does end up living on the ship please share any tips. The ship my Sailor is assigned to is currently on deployment so he doesn't know what he'll be doing.
