Got a picture of B,C & Oliver from the basement!  They had a tornado warning at 1:15am.....all is well now, B just said lots of wind still.

Oh My - Glad that they are doing fine and it was just strong winds.

Congratulations to all of our Prototype graduates!!! I apologize for not posting sooner about my thoughts on graduation. I do recommend that you take some snacks with you, especially if you have the later graduation (if they are doing 2) and you plan to tour the Yorktown afterwords. 

Here is my discussion on - Prototype Graduation - Goose Creek which I posted in 2019. There are some pictures and comments, I believe regarding Power School graduation as well. 

For anyone interested - NPTU Charleston has a YouTube channel.  You can check it out here:

Happy International Women's Day!

Feeling your joy, Q's Momma!

Q's Momma - How exciting!!! I don't recall if Hawaii is all in the same time zone but at least he will be on your side of the world!!! 

Q's Momma - Wow! That is exciting for you ;-D

Q's Momma - oh, and just remember soft orders are just that.  It's possible they could change still...The Navy likes to keep everyone on their toes lol! 

Fingers crossed ;-D

Q's Momma - I'm so happy for you and your Sailor!!!  That is wonderful news!  

One week from tomorrow is the rehearsal dinner and then the wedding on Friday!  I can't believe my youngest will be a married man. 

And excited because B,C & Oliver will be back in town ;-D

This was when he proposed - hard to believe it's been almost 2 years!

Lancertrackmom - Bravo Zulu on the impending prototype graduation. 

My Vinson ETN just walked in the door after 24 hour duty so I asked him about PPLAN (I had never heard of it before your question here).

After training, your sailor will be an administrator for the Power Plant's special network. He wasn't sure how long the school is. He did say that they usually send sailors to the school after they have been on the ship for awhile but they haven't sent anyone recently because they are expecting some like yours, from school right after prototype. Any specialty or special training is a good thing but they most likely have to stand regular watch and 24 hour duty rotations like everyone else. The Nukes are the busiest on the ship, all hands on deck.

Lancertrackmom - Bravo Zulu from me as well!! 

I asked my son and he said much of what Canuka shared. He did say that your son would be part of the Reactor Network division versus other ETNs which are Reactor Controls. Work load can depend on various things with the Network division. He also said that when your son leaves the Navy, he will have a lot more certifications and be able to get a job as a Network Admin, or similar type IT adjacent jobs. 

Countdown to the wedding on Friday - can't wait!!

My favorite Leprechaun!

B's - Have a great time!!

Happy 1st Day of Spring!

B'sNukeMom - What a cutie! Enjoy the wedding!
