JustMe from NJ: Last I talked to my son classes started either Monday or Friday of this week. The were going to classes a little low on numbers because they weren't expected anymore sailors before the holiday. He did mention that he thought he would be home Dec 16 for 2 weeks! I am so excited my other son will be home at the same time! Marvel Mom is a tribute to me son the Marvel fan. That is how I got the name.
Hey Diane, My son is also in sc as a nuke waiting to start. He is currently washing windows. Lol. Couldn't get him to do that at home. But I guess the Navy pays more. I bet our boys are friends. My son says he hangs out with some of the other kids he graduated from GL with on 10/21. He has been making some pretty good friends. Is your son an MM, EM or ET? Mine is an EM. Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Marvelmom: Is your sailor in class in San Antonio or was he held a week also??
By the way, when I see your name I'm reminded of my friend who's last name is Marvel. Believe it or not, her father in law was a police Captain in Newark, NJ -- therefore making him "Captain Marvel". For real -- no kidding :)
hey diane my is leaving weds to sc,,for a school..n he will be home in dec he said,,i think for 1 or 2 wks..unsure yet,,but i will see him soon .once he tells me which wkend i can come:),,as a trash man????...why..lol
PMsing does he mean leave, my daughter is taking leave at christmas as the school is on stand down then, he will have to buy his own ticket home or stay there if not I think.
