MagoostersMom - turns out the navy is moving their furniture for them from NY to VA!  He and his roommate are keeping their stuff now so they won't have to replace it - what a relief.  The movers show up tomorrow and I guess they pack their stuff for them too.....they'll move it to VA and put it in storage for them (up to 90 days).  He and his current roommate will be rooming together again.  Already found an apartment I think in Virginia Beach...

Hi - 

Jim G. Sorry to hear! You're son has accomplished some amazing training. He will do well, where ever his new path leads him! 

Bob I'm glad you had such a great time with your Sailor!

B'sNukemom&dad. My son is heading to BS soon and is renting a furnished house (I'm not sure how furnished it is). Is your sons Bedroom furniture and TV still available? please let me know and I'll find out this weekend if my son will need them. Thank you!

Thank you for the generous offer Tom! We might just do that!!

I had been on a sub (was married to a bubblehead) only once before and it is AMAZING how much can be crammed into such tight quarters! My ex was on the Bonefish and the Kamehameha (plus a few more before I came into his picture). He will still tell you Diesel is Best! LOL!

Thanks again for your offer!

They are usually kept on a very short leash when they first get there so you may find resistance to him meeting with you on the first weekend.  If you do come to Charleston on a Sunday and want to visit the H L Hunley display let me know as I give tours on Sundays and I will get you and your son in at no cost.  I live in Goose Creek and I am a retired Nuc Sub Sailor and know lots of people at the base in leadership.  Tom

I saw that schedule, but it doesn't cover the 2 days BEFORE they class up.

I think, once I find out the Flight Stuff, we'll go ahead and cruise down there. Maybe he'll be cut loose long enough to grab a bite to eat and if not, it's been awhile since I've seen Rainbow Row!

Thanks for all the info-- I know I'll be on this site A WHOLE LOT MORE once he actually classes up because he's REALLY bad about keeping me informed!! LOL!!!

Sorry.  Guess I was looking at it from the perspective of someone who lives about 1000 miles from GC.  Our son just called and said he has to report for awhile a few hours on Monday, but it is a holiday for most of them.

Thank you Luke...

Being prior military (also stationed in Goose Creek back in the day) I knew he'd be busy getting checked in once he arrived. I was hoping (and I know nothing is ever guaranteed!) to maybe grab a bite or something. We only live 100 miles away, so if not that weekend, maybe another. I know that once the school DOES start, he won't have time to do much of anything because his butt better be studying!!

It isn't that bad Grant.
Sharon, you would not be able to meet him at the airport. He will have very specific travel orders and has to report to the command. When he does, they will go through some indoc processing and briefing, get their room, then will have a limited liberty for the rest of the weekend. At least that is how it worked with my son. He will be tired, so I wouldn't plan on anything Saturday, but if you live close by you might be able to meet Sunday at the Subway/MiniNEX and go shopping or out to eat. He will be under Phase 1 restrictions, so has to stay in uniform and not go far. He will have study hours on the weekends one classes start, but my son always took Saturday completely off.
I don't know if they have President's Day off, but if they do, that might be a good weekend to visit.

If you can't make it to RTC or Chicago O'Hare, you've probably missed your opportunity for awhile, at least.  He will be a busy boy once school starts.
