My son passed his re-test for Power School!  He said they ALL passed.  So happy right now! Now it's on to Ballston Spa for Prototype!

Brian, Congratulations to your Daughter and all her Shipmates!

B'snukemom&dad, know he will do well...they all pull together to get it done. It will be your Christmas Wish Come True!

Congratulations to your daughter Brian!  Great job to all those that passed comps on Tuesday.

My son, along with 29 others, did not pass :(  They will "re-comp" on Wednesday next week.....as son says "It's One & Done now". Please keep all of them in your prayers!

Congratulations to my daughter ET3 Moore and all her shipmates who passed their comps exam today. You all should be very proud of yourselves.

Thanks Gary - I texted him what you said - no reply from him though as he went back in to study!  I appreciate everyone's input and hopefully we can get this figured out in a timely manner...

I had something like this happen to me once.  Have him check to see if all the plug wires are set.

Jim - thanks I am going to look at the link you sent.  (You were posting while I was typing my post so I didn't see yours before I posted!)

Thanks Tom - I will pass this on to him.  We just sent his car to him - it arrived day before Thanksgiving and we had it serviced before we shipped it! Just had the water pump replaced, timing belt & serpentine belt replaced, oil change & air filter....Son was driving yesterday & said he pulled up to a light and while stopped the car started "rocking" back & forth and the check engine light flashed on/off.  He smelt a burning smell...he checked the manual & it said something about engine misfire/possible overheating of the catalytic converter.  Transmission was rebuilt a couple of years ago by AAMCO.

Problem now is he has PS comps on Tuesday, we arrive Wednesday (I just rented a car from Enterprise) and he drives to Ballston Spa on 12/20 so he needs his car! And he flies home to Cali on 12/22 - flight is booked......Hopefully when we are there we can get it into someone if he isn't able to do it on Tuesday (or maybe Wednesday!)

The most competent and honest mechanic in the Goose Creek area is Ken King at Automotive Repair Experts on Dragonway dr. off 176 (St James)  He has very limited business hours and higher than average prices however.   The second recommendation I would give is Tread Quarters near the intersection of Hwy 52 and Red Bank Rd.  They don't do a lot of major mechanical work however.  You did not say what was the problem with his car.  I am sure there are many personnel at the command who can help him find a good mechanic he just needs to ask.  If I can help let e know.

Hi all - looking for some quick help!  Just got off the phone with our son and he is having car trouble - does anyone know of a reliable mechanic in Goose Creek area?  He has a Ford Focus......He's hoping to get it into a shop on Tuesday after comps.  And we are flying in on Wednesday and weren't renting a car 'cuz he had his......now to rent a car too!  Oy!
