Son called. Got a 3.1 on test which means he has his 5000 points. Sounds like most of the kids did fairly well on this test. One he said failed 3 subjects and will either be re rated or released. Sad.. Says he has been finalizing his list for guests for graduation and to get there early if you want to find parking. Just 3 more weeks. Can't wait.

Josh got a 3.86 on his chemistry final. He felt like the final was easier than the other test. I hope he feels that way when comps come along.
Betsyleebig, I bet you are so relieved. I hope he is one of the nukes that find prototype easier. My son has always tested well. I hope he does as well when it is more hands on. I think he will but time will tell.
Right now, all I can think of is 3 MORE WEEKS!!! I for one cannot wait!! Thank you all for sharing everything you and your Nuke have been going through during school. I think that it is important to have a bond with people who are going through the same life experiences. It is kind of like therapy. I have enjoyed our group sessions and will for the next few weeks. I know that our kids will end up in different prototype classes. Already we have some who have volunteered for prefill. Some for GC and others for BS. Those who were not offered or who choose not to prefill will also be divided between GC and BS for a later date. I am sad this group will be divided. Some of us will be bound together in new prototype groups and as for the others, I am sure sometime our paths will cross again on Navy for moms. Later, I am sure that some of our kids will be on the same ships or boats. Who knows where this journey will take us. I only know that you ladies will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank for sharing and caring. You are all so very special. I am blessed to have you all to talk to.
