Paychecks
Hi I was wondering if anyone else Sailor is having trouble getting paid. My son has not been paid for the last 2 checks. When he asked about it he is told they will pay him over time which does not sound right. Payday is Payday
He is going again tomorrow to talk about this again. Hopefully he gets this taken care of soon. He still has college loans to be paying

2nd son at MEPS
We just got back from dropping my 2nd son off at the recruiters office to go to MEPS to take his ASVAB and physical.
I have a son that just graduated from boot camp and is at Nuke School. I am really nervous I hope I can make it
thru another 9 weeks. It was so much harder than I thought it would be. I am real proud of both my boys for making
such good decisions.

Asthma
I have a sailor that just graduated from boot camp and now my other son wants to join which I am all for . My questions is I know that if you have asthma they will not take you but what about sports induced asthma when they
were in middle school. He is not on anything for it. Does he have a chance of getting in

Broken Hearted
As I am writing this I cant stop crying. Received a call tonight from my SR. He sounded so defeated and broken. He was set to graduate next week but has to wait till the following week because he made a mistake and this is the consequence. I am notfor me but for him. He has been doing an excellent job and working really hard. I know he feels he let himself, division and us down which he did not, I wrote him a letter tonight to let him know we are really proud o him and that this is…

Liberty time
My SR graduates July 20th and he is suppose to fly out the next day to Nuke School in South Carolina. I was wondering i we will be able to go to Chicago for the day. I have heard different things on what is allowed. I am trying to plan things to do so we do not waste the day wondering what to do. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

Only 3 weeks left
It is hard to believe only 3 weeks left. I am wondering if my son is passing his tests. His letters seem upbeat. He is Port Watch and in 900 division so the way I understand he may be performing at Graduation. I was wondering if anyone knows what is the Sarges meet and greet I have been reading about. When do you get the final date for graduation. I have all these questions and seems I just have more as the time gets closer
Still waiting
I am still waiting for the phone call. Have received letters but I am dying to hear his voice. It has been 4 weeks now it is so hard to believe. This has been a long process for him. He was originally medically disqualified due to his knees but we appealed and had to go thru the process all over again. He had to redo the physical, get cleared by a independent orthopedic doctor, retake the asvab which he scored a 95 so he is a Nuke. All in all this has been a 2 year process but I know…
