He got the shirts from the NEX, they had them for all rates. MR is a Machine Repairman, which I think they all do the same thing basiclly, maybe just a different type school? Anyhow, Jaysen said he couldn't take anything with him to his room, not even the cookies someone had made for him that I brought, he just ate them in the hotel room. He did tell me it was computer based, Jaysen likes that idea!

Congradulations to you both. This is very exciting time for you, your son, and your family. After my son graduated from BC in Feb 07, he stayed in GL for 2 mos for his completeion of his A school in April 07. He was then able to come home for a short visit and then headed off to Norfolk. Phone calls and visits became quite frequent (because he was only 3 hours away). He's now deployed and I hear from him often, if no more than him saying Hi or Good morning, Mother, via email. Hope this helps you.

YAAA!! Congrats!!!!!!!! That's wonderful!!!!I didn't even know there were HT shirts? Where did he get them? As far as his phone, when we went to PIR we brought Anthony's phone and some civies which he got to take back to his room. There didn't seem to be any rstriction on them at all. Anthony bought a tv and his room mate bought a new video game system. Anthony is kind of irritated with school only because they recently (within 6 months) changed to CBT computer-based training, which mean he is literally siotting in front of a computer 8 hours a day reading and hearing a 'mono-tone voice try to teach me' Anthony's words--LOL!! As far as how long, this is where I always forget, Anthony is going right into C school for advanced traiing when he is done with A school so I never know if the amount of time he tells me is for just A school or the combined training. I hope he gets to room with his friend. Anthony got to pick his best friend for his roommate, he told me he could do this since they were an honors division, but I don;t know about that. By the way, what is MR?

Well my son has graduated bc! I guess today he is "going across the street" but his school doesn't start until Nov. 3... My son is a welder, all 4 yrs of HS were spent in Ag, and my husband welds on the side, so my 4 boys have been exposed to it for awhile, and they all enjoy it. that is why Jaysen decided to be an HT, he really wanted MR but got HT, and I guess in Feb they are all going to be DC's ??? He ordered his Navy ring with the HT symbol on it, and when we went for Grad, he bought one of his bros. a HT t-shirt to wear. A kid he graduated high school with also graduated bc with him, just in a different div. they are both HT's so hopefully will get to room together too. they are going to the same schools. does anyone know approx. how long "A" school will last? He is hoping to go to San Deigo when he is done... at what point in "A" school will he get to have a phone and wear his civvy clothes again? Thanks

Thank you Nan. He's been out since August. I hear from him quite often. The only time I don't hear from him is when the ship is under restriction. The Navy will allow them to make phone calls.

welcome Gloria!! Wow--how long has he been out?? Do you get to hear from him much??

Comment by Gloria on October 25, 2008 at 8:46pm

Hello All,
No, there seems not to be many HT'S around. My son is a HTFN. He seems to like what he's doing. He says he's learning alot. He's stationed in Norfolk but currently out on deployment.

Ya, I hope they connect too!! I'm sure as time goes by they will all start meeting each other in the class. It will be interesting to see how it progresses.
