Nice picture Bob!
We spoke to our sailor tonight - all is well. He is studying for his physics final on Tuesday. He said they did their draft for their Fantasy Football league - life is good!

Just got home from Graduation at Goose Creek, Fantastic experience and so proud of our Matt and all the other Sailors. Now its on to Ballston Spa and Proto Type.

 

Spent some great time in the Charleston area, one of the highlights was going to the USS Yorktown and having MAtt explain all the mechanics of the ship and engines!

Safe travels to all that are heading out to Power School graduation tomorrow!  Big hugs for all the graduates :)

And same for any bootcamp grads!  Congrats to all of them too :)

Barry, I think that's the best plan.  By the time my son had his itinerary, it was too late to mail us and he had no opportunities to call.  We didn't know his schedule until after the ceremony.  He actually had to be back to RTC an hour or two earlier than many others because they we're leaving out around midnight Friday for a 4:30 PM flight out of O'Hare on Saturday.  He slept in a recliner at the USO that night!  We had driven up, so it wasn't a problem for us to work around his schedule.

Bob - have a great time at graduation and enjoy the time off with your son!  It seems like a lot of them are being sent to Ballston Spa lately.  My son said they were told that the next few graduating classes would be sent there.  He won't finish power school until December and he said he wasn't going to even worry about where he will be going yet - he said the Navy could change their mind again and again before that time!

Hope everyone knows Bob means the all the graduating students not all students.  Prototype students are moved off base or transferred to make room in the barracks for new students.  The hold class is growing because of the issues with the prototypes.  Even if sent to NY they will sit and wait.  I know you remember "hurry up and wait" is something every military member learns the first day.

Yes we are headed down to the graduation, leaving tomorrow. All the sailors whether staying in Goose Creek or going to Ballston Spa have to be out of their quarters and move into off base housing immdeiately.

 

Matt has to report for duty at Ballston Spa 0600 on Sept 16th. After Grad we are driving back to NJ, then Matt is going to ride to Ballston Spa to secure a place and then come back to NJ to enjoy the rest of his leave.

Yeah, when they leave is always up in the air often times not settled until the very day of PIR.  We were extremely lucky in that out sailor did not ship out to GC until the Tuesday after PIR.  We live in the Chicago area so we were so lucky to see him every day during that time.  As for the airports, they mostly go out of O'hare as was said.  Timing is hard to say.  Our sailor left Great Lakes around 2AM and his flight left around 6.  O'hare is very military friendly with a great USO and many people spend time there before their sailors head down to GC.
