Power School class 1103
Anyone have sons or daughters in Power School class 1103?
My son is in 1103-10. I was recently in GC and met several of his friends - I was very happy that they are all very bright and intense people. My boy has surrounded himself with some very good people. I mentioned the N4M website and while none of them knew about it, several thought their mothers would be into it. So I am putting the call out there and hoping to connect with other parents.

Yes, NukeMom, you're right--my son is in 1103-6. I am hoping that power school will seem to go by as quickly as A school did. I guess it will seem faster when we're not the ones doing the studying!

Hi Ladies,
I’m hoping we can trade news from our children. For your guide, my son, Keith S. (I know everyone goes by their last name.) His PIR was 8/27/10, he is an MM, A school (class 1050) grad was 12/17/10, and now on to Power School. I saw him just before school started and he was also very happy. We Skype on a weekly basis and he’s pretty good about giving me news. I will recap our conversations and I hope you will also share your news. We can look forward to seeing our sailors in August!

Hello,
My son is also in 1103-10. He is doing great. He said so far power school is not that different than A school but now he can't talk about most of the stuff he's learning. I am trying to find out the date of power school graduation but so far, no luck. Do you know when it will be? I remember him saying something about Aug 12 or 14, but can't get him to confirm that.

My son's name is Jack. I was hoping the graduation would be on the weekend. Friday makes the travel a little tougher.

News from NNPTC: Keith says they have three classes: math, physics, and Reactor Plant Systems. In math they are studying algebra. Physics - different measuring units, Newton's three laws, and torque. Reactor Plant Systems (RPS) is a basic overview of everything they will study in Power School. The math and physics classes are taught by Ensigns and RPS is taught by an MM1. There is a test next week in RPS. Keith didn't mention about manditory study times, but I'm sure they have some.
I asked if they were talking about the nuclear challenges they're having in Japan right now because of the earthquake, but he said no. I thought they might since this would be a good learning opportunity.
