Ken Nelson commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Navy Boot Camp"The graduation page and the letter from your SR are the only sure bets on the graduation date. My daughter was in what she called a "push" division and finished up a week earlier than normal. She left MEPS on 6/20 and graduated on 8/12.…"
Ken Nelson commented on Paul (Zac's Dad FC)'s group AECF FC A school and beyond"I would imagine they must know each other. She was really happy for ATT to be over and to get started on A school."
Ken Nelson commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Navy Boot Camp"You don't necessarily have to use an over-the-air inet connection at Great Lakes. My daughter just finished AECF (ATT) yesterday. She was able to install Comcast inet in her room. She is staying at the same location (same room) for A school.…"
Ken Nelson replied to Bart Callahan's discussion "A" School Question in the group Navy Boot Camp"My daughter graduated 8/12 and she stayed at GL. She was able to take her phone and laptop back with her after liberty the first night. Bring them along with you and have them ready in the hotel. After PIR, your SR will need to go back to RTC so…"
Sandy'sSailorSon left a comment for Ken Nelson"Welcome Ken!! My son arrived at boot camp 6/15/10. I can't believe I lived through boot camp. It takes some getting used to the idea that your child is leaving home to join the Military.
My son's rate is FC. After graduating from…"
Ken Nelson commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Navy Boot Camp"Mo - The four your son adds to the list will be allowed to enter the PIR hall right away (make sure they all have identification). The other two will need to wait out in the visitor center until everybody that are on the list are seated. If there is…"
Ken Nelson commented on E.G. - ND's Creator/Admin's group Navy Boot Camp"Just got back from PIR and I wanted to share some of our experiences. This is long...

Ken Nelson replied to Rich Messler's discussion Realization of my two kids leaving for Boot Camp is setting in"Rich - I am going through the same thing.

Welcome Ken!! My son arrived at boot camp 6/15/10. I can't believe I lived through boot camp. It takes some getting used to the idea that your child is leaving home to join the Military.
My son's rate is FC. After graduating from (A)school in Great Lakes. Where your daughter will be going for school too. He is off to (C)school in Dam Neck VA. If you have any questions about school and life at Great Lakes, feel free to ask. My son spent a year there.

- Welcome aboard Ken! I’m so glad that you’ve joined us. I can’t add very much to what Paul said, but wanted to pop in here and say hello. My son Stephen is an AW and flies with VP-45 on the P-3 Orion and is stationed in Jacksonville, FL. Be sure to join the groups that will follow what Megan is doing with the Navy. If you have questions, usually you can find what you’re looking for here. See you around the fleet!

- Welcome to NavyDads.com Ken! I'm sure you'll find NavyDads.com as useful, educational and informative as I have. Please explore the site and make some new Navy friends. Be sure to read the discussions add your comments or start a new discussion. Browse through the postings in the various groups or start a new one. I certainly have! If you have any comments, questions or concerns about your sailor and what she is going through...be sure to post them! In my experience someone here can answer your questions or concerns or can point you in the right direction to find out. I'm blessed to have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM3) is stationed on the carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat (MC3) recently completed her five-year enlistment on the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Ken this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in, get active, and be sure to let us know how Megan is doing! Please remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors and the fleet in mind at all times. On the right or starboard side of every NavyDads.com page is an area we call About This Site. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link for some guidelines as to what we should and should not talk about in a public forum like NavyDads.com. And stop by the NavyDads offical store- Navyoutfitters.com! Show your support for NavyDads.com by wearing the latest in NavyDads attire. Best Regards- Paul
