New Nuke Moms Fall 2011
I can't keep track of all the new arrivals. Know that there was a class from BC PIR last week of Oct with over 20 Nukes, PIR 11/4 had at least 8, believe there are some more in the next few classes. Would like to have an easy referral site so I can remember that all of you are in about the same stage as my son. Probably going thru alot together.

my son did PIR on 11/4 and is at Nuke school. He said he loved the first few hours and then started hearing about how much time he would actually be spending studying! He believes that he will start classes (MM) on the 20th

PIR was 10/28 for us. My son is studying for MM. No word yet when class will start. He did say Tues they have about 70 now in Indoc.

Wow! 70 in Indoc! Amazing how many nukes there are. I'm hoping mine gets back to GC to be in class relatively soon, but there were only 3 ETs in his PIR group.

My son is almost done with A school (EM) and there is a lot of studying. He puts in about 25 hours a week in addition to class time but seems to have adjusted and has time on the weekends to hit the town and do some fun stuff too. Good luck to all your new NUKES.

Talked to my son yesterday - he told me that a new MM class will be starting soon, but he will have to wait for the next one to start after that because we're at the end of the alphabet. He thinks the one will start next week and then another that he'll be in hopefully the week after Thanksgiving.

Wow! That was fast. Must be all about the timing. My ET says he wont class up until December - he is here packing moving truck and then driving across country.
