    Jim G,
    My son Jason is at nuke field A school right now and is in phase 3 where he can stay off base Friday and Sat nights. He classed up in late Jan and Graduated Jan 2nd. He is an ET like I was but a target as you may say. The feeling to have your son go through the same program you did and want to do it is a very nice feeling but I know I showed concerns as to the pace in the nuke field. Congratulations and I guess pass in review shortly. We have made one trip to Charleston in Feb and going again in April.
    Take care- Don

    I can see from talking to my son that they do not pull any punches here The Navy is dead serious about maintaining their safety record and they push the students hard. What I see in Aaron is while he may get frustrated he is also learing to take it one day at a time learn the information and move on. I told him tongue in cheek that this is like BUD/S school for the nerds. He thought that was funny. Anyway tell your son to hang in there. Study hard and enjoy his free time Look up my son on the Volly ball court or the soccer field when they open it

    Jim G.,

     

    I'm an ex-nuke with a son heading for nuke school, too.  My son's PIR is 1/14/11.  From what I've learned, the navy's programs are better organized than when I went through.  I was in 71-77, on the USS Permit SSN 594 from 73-77.
