I think he meant overall points. He uses terms I don't understand even when he tries to explain them to me. I guess what started the punishment was someone did an elbow sandwich( I think that it was he called it). I think the navy is trying to show them how serious their studies really are and there are consequences. Just wish it wasn't right before this big test on Fri.

On the up side, maybe the ordered quiet will get the attention of the clowns in the group and make the study environment better for your son so he can really hit the books hard. I will keep positive thoughts for all the sailors for the test tomorrow. Hang in there, he'll most likely bounce back and do very well on this test. HUGZ

Son passed Fri test but didn't do great. We have not received any announcement about graduation. Do they send them out only after sailor has earned the 5000 points or is the sailor suppose to send it to you?

Don't know about the points ie, if they are required, but I'd say not since my son said today that they had to put the names and addresses on a list and had a deadline a week or 2 ago to submit them. And he just officially passed 5000 points as of the last test. So ask your son if he got your name and address on the list by the deadline.

Son called last night and I guess he was offered the same opportunity but for some strange reason he declined. Tried to talk him into changing his mind but said it was too late. He only had about an hour to decide. I guess his friends were not offered the same deal and decided to stay with them. I think this was a real mistake.
On other subject has everyone received their invitation to graduation? Son says they are working on it and . I just want to make sure I am not the only one.
