Thanks NMX2 - Alex arrived in Goose Creek yesterday. He already likes it. Called me to tell me to send his IPod and Cellphone -- School starts next week - this week allows him some down time, which is great. His bunkmate is someone from his BC division in GL - so they are hanging out and getting to know the other newbies there. He sounds better than I have ever heard him sound - so mature and confident.

Dawn..CONGRATS to Alex our newest sailor...How wonderful. I do believe he will be very pleased with everything when he gets to Goosecreek. From what my son tells me it is indeed a wonderful lbase and he has had no comlaints at all and loves it there. The academics are intense but Alex will do fine...

Hi all - Alex PIR'd this past weekend. He's on his way to GC today or tomorrow. I've seen pictures of the barracks and they look terrific. I've heard the food is really very good, and I know the academics are intense. Your posts here, though, have helped me get a good handle on what he can expect. I'll be sharing it with him if/when he calls. Thanks ladies for all of the valuable info.

Your welcome NMX2. Hope it helps. He will probably be just fine. I am just begining all of this so will probably be where you are in about 4 or 5 months. Take Care. Lynn

Lynn and Gaye..Thank you so much for the insight!! It helps more than I can say to hear from Moms who have been there before. So I guess I will have a good listening ear and I love the idea of the inspirational messages..Thanks so much...

nmx2...just a note about finishing up A school..as I recall, there are two very large tests at the end of A school..everyone is very anxious as one test is something like a quarter exam and the other is a final exam...I think that there are mandatory study halls in the last few weeks also....If he has done well to this point, it is all review...if not, then he may have a problem but the instructors are there to make sure that he passes...that is their job as well as his...he probably is taking out all his stress on you...that is what our kids do- no matter how old they are sometimes...hopefully just letting him vent to you will do the trick....it's the old" pick on mom "trick...works every time..then they can go out and be civil to the rest of the world...cookies might help tho
