My son, Jarrod, got thru with indoc yesterday. He got a 98 on his test and was upset he didn't get 100. I can't believe this the same kid I sufferd thru high school! lol. Does anyone know how long his BECC (I think that's it) is? He starts on Monday.

Good evening all....
Hey Gary - good to hear from you! Yes, you will be about 5 hours away when you get to Vegas. Not all that far. My vacation was great and I sure missed my Navy family as I wasn't able to get online too much. BTW, I thought you did a super job holding down the fort..B/Z to you!!! Glad you got Nick safely home and can enjoy your weekend with him. Boy, that dip in the pool and cool can of beer sounds wonderful. Have a great weekend with your kid.
Night everyone!

Hello Vee, hows things back home in Calif.. I will be heading to Vegas on the 20th of this month. I will be somewhat near you. Hope your vacation was great. I tried to hold down the fort while you were gone. Don't know if I did a good job or not. Some questions were better left unanswered by me. When it comes to other rates I know zero. Well picked Nick up, made it home in one piece. Beat the traffic and I am so so glad to be home in my pool with a cool can of beer. Gary T.

Hi everyone and a HUGE WELCOME to all our new members! I'm still playing catch-up here at home after returning from my vacation; therefore, I'm not online too often. I just wanted to wish everyone a GREAT WEEKEND coming up.

Joanie,

The card he was given was only for use at the NEX on the RTC side. It was linked to the students pay account and used in a limited fashion to purchase toiletries, underwear, etc. All he has to do is call the number on the back to shut it off. If he set up a bank account with Navy Federal when he joined, he should already have a separate bank card for his account. Hope that helps.

When Tyler was at RTC, he had the NEX money card that was issued to him and deducted from his paycheck. He said he was told at NEX on A school grounds that card was not good anywhere but at the RTC NEX. It seems if it was purchased with recruits money it would be good at any NEX. Any clarification on this?

Morning All,

Hope all is going well, and I happy friday to you all. I've got a excellent weekend coming up, holed up in my "lab" working on a model kit I just got in the mail. Hey, I'm a man of simple pleasures. So between that, a good beer and Fiddler on the Roof on DVD, life is good!
Gary: I'll be here for a bit today, look forward to seeing you again.

Well morning all, off to Great Lakes to pick Nick up for the week-end. Hope you all have a great day. I know I will. Hopefully two hours up and two hours back if the traffic isn't bad. Will I should be at the Cole when liberty is called. Maybe I will see you when I sign Nick out. I know your busy. Have a great day all. Gary T.

Good morning everyone!!!

I know when DJ was at GL for ATT and SCC he moved at least 3 times. They do not have much storage space and I know that DJ had 3 other room mates each time he moved.

Vee: I am glad you are back and I know you had a wonderful trip!!!
