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, welcome! Which section is your son in? This group is pretty quiet. I think we're all anxious for graduation - I know I am. My son (MM) said at a minimum grad hold would be four months, most likely longer. They are having two tests this week, none next week.

So I missed talking to my sailor last weekend - the timing was just off, but I was able to catch him just before he went to bed last night. He said that their test on Tuesday - he got a good grade but the section as a whole did poorly and six people failed! We're getting down to the wire here - another test on Thusday and then Monday again - he says that after that they have only one class and things should ease up a bit. We leave three weeks from today to visit for a few days. I am really excited!
