James - congrats on your son's PIR! Be sure to read "Your Sailor's Schedule Upon Arrival" & "Surviving Nuke School" above in the discussion forum. Lots of good info!
Thank you David's Mom & Bob. I'll look into this.
B'sNuke mom&dad,
All the trainee's must secure off base housing. The town to search for is Saratoga Springs, NY. The Navy gives the sailors very limited info. My wife searched online for the area and made connections that way. Best of luck!
@David's Mom - what exactly is the base housing in BS? I haven't got much info from my son yet but I didn't know there was a base. I thought it was a private owned reactor that the gov't contracted with. How does that work - what city is it in (the housing)? Trying to gather as much info as I can!
Thanks for the tip Bob. I know there is a website that the Navy gives the guys to look for housing - I'll get that from my son & see what I can do ahead of time for them (of course like Brian said - once they find out 100% where they are going!). Son did say they would secure housing before they all go home for leave so good to know that....
Hi folks, been a while since posting as my nuke graduated proto in early May. They have obviously made changes in this short time as he had to wait 6+ months from PS to proto, but I am really glad to see that! Good luck to your sailors graduating soon (and yes I completely understand the apprehension, you're parents)! This is a terrific group and I hope you all remain connected.
Thanks Bob, I hope to do the same once she finds out 100% she'll be going up state. I live about 4 1/2 hours from there now (also in Jersey) but should be moved into my new house about 3-3 1/2 from Ballston Spa in Northern NJ
B'sNukeMom&dad and Brian,
Congrats on your sailors graduating power school, our son Matt graduated in Aug and was Grad and Go to Ballston Spa.
My wife researched the available rentals the 2 weeks leading up to graduation as to what my son and his 2 future room mates wanted. She spent a lot of time and made several calls but it paid off. Our Matt gcame home from Graduation, spent 1 day at home and then rode up to NY (we are in NJ and only 4 1/2 hrs away) He was able to secure the rental in 1 day and then came back home for the rest of his leave. When it was time to report for duty he and his buddies went up 2 days before and moved in, they were all set with no problems.
Those that waited to seek rentals and spent most of their leave home before trying to find a place had a tougher time.
Best of luck to you all!
