Next month we are visiting the Nimitz museum located in Fredericksburg Texas. Lots of history there we are also attending the Octoberfest there. I found out this past week that I am going to be a grandfather my oldest daughter is expecting. Time flies when you are having fun. My son did not complain about being tired during power school or A school, he is saying that the hours are long during prototype but he is loving what he is doing.

My son is going threw prototype right now. I have been reading the comments from other parents. My son is also a sub volunteer, my son is telling me that most of the sub volunteers do not get put on subs due to the availability. we are trying to get together with a family cruise for christmas. We have allowed for the needs of the navy in case of a change. hopefully will be in the bahamas during christmas my youngest daughter is also going.

Feeling tired? For sure.  Power School does that to you. 

Getting through power school is one serious accomplishment.

Recommend after the grad ceremony -- just take it easy when you visit, keep it cool , maybe walk on the beach and talk or not -- or visit Patriots Point, whatever seems most supportive -- Power grads need just relax after the stress,  It is a LOT of stress for them. 

Take care.

PS -- prototype may be stressful too -- just the hours and all, but

My son is graduating Power Oct 7, probably same class. He took an apartment and is anticipating grad hold of maybe 4 months. I think he also thinks he will be staying in GC for prototype. We are across the "sound" and Ballston Spa would have been closer to us also. He is currently going "surface" but that can change.

Talked with my son yesterday, he graduates in early October. He too is getting really tired. We just keep talking about the end, eating good food, taking vitamins, try not to have too many energy drinks, ect. My son has a truck so at least he can get off base on the weekends and that seems to help. He also said that most will be going to Balston Spa. Which is fine for me because I'm in CT. Balston Spa will only be three hours away. He still doesn't know where his Prototype will be.
