thanks, TN Navy Mom! I love the ABA reference. This will be a tough transition for RD,
since he has never really had to show his work! I hope that he adapts quickly...haven't heard a thing so far this week....

just heard from my son...he got a 3.4 on the first test. He sounded a little disappointed,
but not bad considering the adjustments he's having to make! :)

Just wondering what you are hearing from your nukes....???
How are things going?
RD is working hard, and I catch him on fb to "chat" a few nights each week. I think he will be happy to have his car in a few weeks, and stop spending money on cabs! He seems to go into Charleston about every weekend and loves it.
Says his friends are "quality" people. He gets along well with their class leader (girl). I guessed her identity correctly. I met her at the airport after BC, and was impressed at how "together" she was! (guess ANY woman nuke would have to be pretty amazing!) How great that he's in classes with kids that are just as smart as he is, or smarter! :)

p.s. he said for the mailing address to substitute CLASS 1133 instead of NFAS INDOC. DIV. and the
rest was the same. Mailed a letter and a package. hope they get there...

P.S. did any of you get a grad date for our EM/ETs yet? Let me know, and I'll post it.
Right now I just have their start date posted....

RD got a 3.5 on his test today, and class average was 3.5! way to go, 1133!
He also asked for his "civvies" and said they "phase up" this Friday...
PROGRESS!!!! Sometimes all I get are short txt messages, but at least so far it's
good news.

Hi Ladies! My son's PIR was on 6/3 and he left for Charleston late Saturday. He is an ET. I'm finding it a bit difficult to determine what things he's allowed to have now, the best method of communication with him, and--well--even if I'm posting in the right group! :) Any information you can share to help me get set with this would really help. I also joined "NUKE MOMS."

Hi BeccaBee, and welcome!
As far as what he's allowed to have now, cell phone, electronics, all that seems fine, but I guess they
have pretty limited storage space, so that may be an issue eventually. My son asked for his running shoes, and his "real" underwear (lol) right away, so hope those are okay since he has them. They can wear their civvies during certain times when they "phase up", about 4 weeks into training. Have you checked out the discussion called "schedule on arrival in Goose Creek"?? It mentions when some things are allowed...you might want to check there, too.
You'll find the N4M's, especially nuke moms, are very patient. There's no such thing as a "stupid" question. Everyone here is very supportive. When your ET has a class number, you may even want to jump in and start a new discussion group for it!!! It's fun to compare notes with the other moms, since you'll find that your son is going to be in class a lot and it may be hard to catch him to chat with him....

Thanks, Swim4life...I think we all believe in paying it forward. Everyone was very patient and extremely helpful to us and it is only right to pay it forward. No one is BORN knowing this stuff. I keep asking questions at every phase. Sometimes it helps me and I pass it along to my son and at other times he tells me it's a little off...but it is always well intended and meant to help.

Hello all! I haven't seen anything about A school class 1134 but this has to be the right place! My son, CH is ET with BC PIR 5/6/11.
I am a terrible mom these days. I wrote everyday while he was in BC but just sent the first care package Friday! I hope he gets it ok. I didn't have his class # on it cuz my oh so informative son still hadn't told me what it was. I thought he sail that his class was 1134 MC. Could I have misheard? I have seen class #s with MT but not MC. I want to start writing to him again. I think we communicated more through letters during BC than now even though he can call or e-mail or facebook. Oh well. I know he is super busy since classes finally started. I'm gonna drive up and get him on the 30th so he can spend the long weekend with the family.
Hi again, Shanermansmom! Hope everything is going well for you & your sailor!
