2 MORE WEEKS! 2 MORE WEEKS! 2 MORE WEEKS and my son will be through with A school!
RD said he got a 3.55 on the written exam, and he just has the Comprehensive exam left, and I think
he said that will be on 10/22....
Wish he was coming here after, but he'll be returning to Houston, where he was recruited and lived for awhile....
At least we'll get to see him for Thanksgiving, already have a house rented for that weekend in Mt. Pleasant.
We have fallen in love with that area.... Hope you are all well, and that your nukes are making progress and
keeping some balance in their lives...

Hi jbsgirl!
did you get to attend PIR? What an exciting time. I hope she falls in love with the Charleston area...so much history there. Let us know as you think of questions, either here or on the main page. There's always something going on in the Nuke group, and you'll get a response fairly quickly. You'll find us to be patient, honest and very supportive. I have been a part of this group for about a year now, even before my son left for BC! When your dtr has a class number, look for that in the discussion groups, or start a new discussion if no one has...
Welcome, we hope you feel at home here... :)

I did get to attend PIR! It was amazing! It was very emotional for me. I was in the Navy for 5 years and to get to see the ceremony instead of being in it.....well I cannot find words to explain how that made me feel. She already loves the Charleston area. We are originally from Virginia but have been transplanted to New Mexico so she feels as if she is "home" again. I am sure she has a class number....I just haven't asked her LOL. We have been busy getting caught up and adjusting to our new relationship! It has definitely changed but for the better definitely!

Just got back from our extended vacation in S. Carolina. Graduation ceremony from Power School was amazing, we arrived around 8 am and had time to meet with a lot of the Sailors that have become S family since January. what struck me the most was this semi-circle of sailors (400) surrounding the outside of the graduation podium, it was a sea of white. the ceremony lasts for about 2 hours, as they call everyone up, while announcing thier name, posing for a photo with a hand shake. weekend in Charlotte was wonderful, weather was great, week in Myrtle was wonderful also..
having trouble posting pics, any suggestions?

so glad you are home safe! I've heard other people talk about problems attaching
photos and files...one of them said that they had Internet Explorer 8, and had to
go to an older version of IE to get things to work here on N4M's...not sure why.
Are they .jpg? I would love to see some pictures of your trip to Power School grad!
Good luck...I hope you find something that works...Congrats. Hopefully you and your
son can relax a little now!
hugs,

A school graduation for D tomorrow AM. Wish I could go, but couldn't make it and he is headed home right afterwards. Looking forward to his visit and, hopefully another at Christmas if Power School doesn't class up until after New Years. Would love to see pics if anyone will be there in the AM.
