Glad you had a great time at PIR. It is quite something to see and be a part of. I'm sure Aaron will enjoy it when he gets to GC.

Now that many of our sailors have recently begun school, how is everyone doing? My son checks in most evenings for a few minutes. He has been averaging 3-4 hours homework a night so free time is a premium! He did real well on his 1st test earlier this week, so has a good start. He rarely studied or did much homework before so this is new for him, but sounds like he now has incentive to work harder.

hi, i know in my sons class a few people were sick and they missed an important study session day and they were sent back to the class that started a week after them, so know his initial class has 6 people less than when they started. he said weent to the nex and picked up lots of cold meds. he has done very good on recent tests so his study time hours were reduced. he calls a couple of times a week.
is having alot of problems with his cell which was Alltel but now I think its Verizon. -

I heard from Aaron yesterday so I could have the address to send his computer and cell phone today.We have Verizon,too; and We will see how his cell phone does when he tries to make phone calls.Do your sailors have renter's insurance while at GC?Just curious.Cathy

I haven't heard of anyone getting sick. Bummer.
We had T-Mobile as our cell phone provider and it worked fine. We just switched this week to Verizon and so far it has been working too.
I never even considered renters insurance. I'm not sure it is needed unless they move off base. -
-

I agree with BLW about the renters insurance probbly only if they live off base. What happens with my sons phone is it'll just drop calls while hes on. They can only go off base on weekends so its hard to get to the Verizon store.

My son graduated from boot camp in Great Lakes on Oct 2, 2009. He was in DIV 946 and has arrived and started "A" school. He told me yesterday that he is DIV 1002-A. Anyone have sons in this class? So far so good...he said he did well enough on his first exam to only have to clock in 15hrs. of study time. This is all new to me and would appreciate any advice, knowledge, etc....He seems very happy to be in with the Nukes. Thank you!

Thank you,
