My so was grad n go and flew to San Diego 3 hours after PIR. You will find that some procedures change often in the Navy! Relax and to with the flow as we don't have any control over when/where/how our kids start A-school.

tmsy: There is lots of invaluable info right above this in the "Discussion Forum" :)

Sounds like you may have the best of both worlds??!!

LOL! Our kids probably don't even know wind-up alarm clocks exist?? Are you doing maintenance on the destroyers in Pearl? Shore duty?

My son requested a battery operated alarm clock for this rack.

NavyTimes reported this week that ship fuel is $5 gallon. I know each ship has a budget but who would have to give the CO orders to conserve or has all that become a general order?
Why does it seem like there are too many STG's on a ship?

I'm in my mid fifties and Sailor son is my youngest. He was 25 when he enlisted so he's almost an "older" sailor. While your still laughing let me share my experiences at sailors first homecoming last April: Not only were the young sailors carrying their precious electronics BUT a lot of the officers were too! I posted all the video on YouTube.....it was quite an experience.
The CO and XO out of NRD-Phx that I volunteer for are both young enough to relate to this new generation. (You may know the XO, Darryl Toppin, he was stationed at ASW for 8 years).
As soon as I tell Mary about you and your visit to the Chung Hoon, she'll be your new best friend. She already has a challenge coin from MCPON. She organized the Navy Moms dinner with him in Chattanooga. I had to drive to Albuquerque for Navy Week just to get a challenge coin from a RADM so Mary stop commenting on my little coin from the CO!
One more serious question: How long does it take a destroyer to go from England to Norfolk?? My guess is about a week but I have no proof.

Chief:
Let's see, are you referring to X-Boxs (and tournaments), Laptops with portable hard drives loaded with 200 movies; iPods, digital cameras, weekly Texas Hold 'Em Poker tournaments, satellite TV so the little dears don't miss a football, basketball or any televised sport!!??? My son was in the ship's sonar room and discovered a new poker table tucked away in a closet.
Yes, this generation has no idea what hard work is or what hard times are. Sailor son was complaining of the 'dangerous' situation the CO put them in when he ordered a UNREP during a storm with high winds and swells. I listened to the little sweetheart complain for about an hour and then reminded him of the 30+ years his father drove those locomotives and the 'dangerous' situations he was in. I also reminded him of my father who was serving in the Navy during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Sailor went in as an E-3; made E-4 in less than a year. His first duty station was Norfolk and the ship was in the Gulf so he flew there to catch up with it. His first homecoming was April and he slept at a friend's house until his barrack was assigned (about 3 weeks).
My friend Mary has a sailor who reported to the Chung Hoon about 2 months ago. That sailor is an FC. He hasn't been out on the ship anywhere yet. Marys husband retired from the Navy as a chief after 10 years and he can't believe most Sailors are not sleeping on ships anymore. It's a new Navy!
Morale was awful before the Poland incident. Lots of reports about Sailors doing things they are not qualified for yet. I've meet the CO & XO and they were so welcoming and concerned about my sailor.
So, how long does it take to get a reservation at the Navy Lodge in HI??? lol (sorta)
