My son just went to boot camp Monday. When will he find out his rate?

Thanks, Paul - some neat stuff there.

Thanks.  Can't wait for our son to get down to A School in Charleston and if he makes it all the way through prototype training in Charleston that will increase the likelihood that we'll get to visit him down there from California.

Yes - there is still a prototype in Goose Creek/Charleston.  My son, who graduated from Power school in November of 2012, and has been on grad hold ever since, will be taking his prototype training in Goose Creek, possibly beginning in May.  He was disappointed because he wanted to go to Ballston Spa, but we are looking forward to again visiting him down in Charleston.

My son is a Nuke but still on medical hold back at GL after graduating Feb. 8.  Things are going pretty well so he should get cleared soon.  Two questions.  Does anyone know when the next A school starts?  And -- Is there still a Nuke prototype training school at Charleston or is the only one in NY?

To all the new graduates I say Congratulations and you are almost there. My son finally finished everything and is on his first cruse.  So far he is enjoying it and says all the work was worth it.  I can’t wait until the fleet gets to my side of the world so I can meet up with him in Dubai.  Philip, thanks for your service and wear your hat proud.  Myself, I felt out of place with my Army hat on.

Hey, all. If you are looking for a special gift for your graduate, check out the Northwest Territorial Mint (Google it).  I have been ordering challenge coins engraved with my sailor's name, dates and events - PIR, A-school grad, and now NPS grad.  They don't have any specifically for NNPTC, but they do have rate, rank and Navy items.  And if you order today (it's spendy, but in my opinion, worth it) you can get it tomorrow in time to take to graduation.

 

They also have a link to give suggestions, and if we show enough interest, maybe they will make one with a Navy Nuclear Power logo in time for Prototype Graduation.

Ditto on congrats to those whose sailors passed comp.  I got the call that mine did as well, and not as close as it threatened to be.  He said the class was quite unnerved when the failing comp grades of a couple of guys who had high GPAs were announced early on - they all thought they were dead ducks.  I can't imagine having to wait until near the end of the alphabet, like mine.  Prayers and concerns go out to the ones who did not pass, and hoping they get the chance to retake.

 

CHS, here we come!
