Yes he  and  everybody else ( pratically) are  starting Monday  AM.   He  says  a very  very  large  class. Some  that  graduated in  Jan from  power school  are  included.

Talked  to  my son  last  night.  They  have  already  had a  test. He  passed. Yeah! He  is  concerned about  how  difficult it  is  going  to  be   to get  checked out with  so  many  kids  in  the  class.  I  guess  it  is  12  hours  days.  I  forget  to  ask  if  they  have  weekends off. He   also   seems  to  be lacking  the  confidence  he  can do  this as  we  got   further  into  the  conversation. I  tried to   assure him he  was  he  was  smart  and  he  will  succeed if  he  organizes  his  time  and  ask  questions.  Funny one  sailor  he  was friends  with  in  power  school  and went  to  BS  has  already  graduated  and  been  assigdd  to  a  boat . I   hadn't  really  realized  how  maqch  time  has  gone  by  since  they  graduated  power  school.

A lot of time has gone by, my son takes his boards at 14:30 TODAY.  He's already been assigned to a boat.  He'll be moving to his first real duty station next week.  They have come so far since Basic.  Your son will do fine, but will ave to be assertive in getting his quals done as there are always a lot of sailors vying for time for signatures.  As you told him, he just has to organize and ask questions.
