Hey David, Kyle just called and said that he passed the major test for sub school and that he only has two weeks left with a final review test. He said that passing this test took so much stress off of him. They have lost so many guys during sub school, 3 last week alone. They are down to 44 from 81. He did get his ST rate. Ever figure out that snow shoveling problem?
Hey David, I here ya about OPOTA. Kyle was a grad and go also he was on a plane 5 hours after his PIR. It was a big hurry to get him to Groton, once there he sat for two weeks until he classed up, but now he is so busy he wishes he could sit around again. Sub school is really tough and then he has his A school which will last him until next November.
Hi David, Thanks for joining Ohio Dad's. My name is Jim Harper, My son Kyle is currently attending the Naval Submarine Academy in Groton, Ct. I too am a retired Deputy Sheriff, collecting that check from PERS every month. Stay in touch,,,Jim
Keep me posted - I am sure it'll all work out as it should. Btw-they pulled all of Jeffrey's healthy wisdom teeth too... the Army pulled mine in the back of a five ton at Yakima in the 80s-man times have changed! I didn't get sick in quarters time or vicodin...LOL
Dave - got a letter from our son this week and he mentioned talking to your son. Guess a lot of the recruits are talking about their moms 'meeting' on navy4moms.com - jeffrey got b-day cards from "random strangers" and told his mom to thank them...and then he told her next time she does that to warn him...it is a little creepy getting mail from strangers! LOL
David, think our sons are in same div/ship. Our wives have talked on Navy Moms. Know what you mean about C-Rats lol...now they're in a plastic bag...and flat! (MREs) I just retired after 25 yrs active army - 12 FA and 13 USAREC -HOOAH!
David thanks for joining. I found navyformoms in searching for answers to my son's future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads like n4m's but I was wrong. So I started this site so us dads wouldn't feel guilty interacting in a woman's world. I'm new at this and I hope this site will benefit fathers that come behind us. So jump right in share concerns, join groups, share info, and show off your sailor. I'm so glad to find out their are so many proud navy dads just like myself. Good luck and thanks again for joining.
