Glassdog could the town be Wahiawa. That is the area where they built the new building. It is pronounced Wha-he-wha. In Hawaii if it starts with a w the w gives the w sound. But if the w is in the middle of the word it makes a v sound. We started living in Ewa Beach which is pronounced eh-va. He will get the hang of how they pronounce things.

Also there are places in Wahiawa to eat he must be on the outskirts of town only. It's not that big but a lot of tattoo shops and girl clubs.

I have been reading through all the posts that I missed since we lost power on Friday. Reading the posts has been a bright spot for me. This group always makes me smile.  Irene pretty much destroyed my county due to flooding :( We have had many hurricanes here but this was the worst that anyone can remember. I have been without power for 5 days now but I hate to complain because so many (my parents included) have lost everything. Our schools have been closed until further notice and one is destroyed. over 400,000 homes were without power and they have it down to 36,000 now.  Don't listen to the National media when they tell you this was a non event. I am thankful that the other states were spared but it seems that everyone has forgotten about NC. Even our Gov. Perdue took a quick tour of the outer banks and told tourists to come on back. She quickly ate her words and took a tour of my county the next day. She stands about a snowballs chance in hell of getting re-elected. The Red Cross and National Guard are here and they are doing an excellent job distributing goods to folks. It took until today for our area to be declared a disaster area. The Red Cross is taking donations bookmarked for Irene relief. I am asking anyone who can please donate.

Finally found out where my son lives on Oahu!  Not Schofield base as his orders read, but in a town that starts with a w and that I can't pronounce!  Once again you guys with the info were right on!  He says they have a small fridge and microwave. a communal kitchen, and best of all the swimming pool is across the street from him.  The bad news is there aren't a lot of places to eat in the area but the one restaurant that is there is very reasonably priced.  The bad news with that is they are only open monday thru friday.

They us the NEX at Schofield Barracks, but so far they haven't used the galley, and he of course hasn't asked if they can us the galley.  However hours may not work with his schedule anyway!

He finally got everything signed. Took a whole week!

Also has anyone ever heard of a sailor that goes in as an E3 and is getting ready to test for E4 who has had to go back and get his college transcripts again?  Mine found out on the 24th that he had to have an official copy to some area in Virginia by 9/1!  I finally called his recruiter who went down to MEP's and dug out their copy and overnighted it on Monday so my son can test on 9/15.  The recruiter said he had never had this happen before!

Lady - More info.. Look at Page 2-12

http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/reference/instructions/BUPERS...

 

and since I gave more info on that, then I have to give more info on this:

 

It took me along time to figure out how a woman's brain works.  It finally can be explained here in one, easy-to-understand illustration:

 

 

With a woman, every one of those little blue balls is a thought about something that needs to be done, a decision or a problem that needs to be solved.
 
 A man has only 2 balls and they take up all his thoughts.

Comment by Craig on August 30, 2011 at 10:59pm

Lady - I'm not 100% positive, but I think your daughter falls into a weird rule that applies to the SCORE program, which I think is what your daughter is doing.

But like I said, I'm not 100%.  You need to ask your daughter what program she's doing to cross rate (I think it's SCORE but the Navy might have another).

Here is the rule for the SCORE:

 

14.  Navy-wide Examinations    a.  PO1’s will not be eligible for further advancement except by Navy-wide competitive examination in the new rating after conversion is completed.  In this regard, PO1’s receiving official notification of advancement must voluntarily disenroll from the SCORE program or decline advancement.     b.  Personnel under instruction in a Class “A” School intended to prepare them for rating change are prohibited from participating in a Navy-wide examination for change in rating or advancement.  All personnel ordered to Class “A” School for rating conversion may participate in the advancement program for their present rating, if otherwise qualified, until the class convening date; however, if selected for advancement, a request must be submitted to NAVPERSCOM (PERS-4811/4812) for authority to effect the advancement to the next paygrade in the new rating.

Per the testees comment:

Comment by navymom3 on August 30, 2011 at 8:42pm
Good luck to your son Craig. My oldest takes his 1st class test in March.
Comment by Craig on August 30, 2011 at 8:14pm

Good luck to those sailors that are about to take the advancement test.  

The easy way to remember when the test is:

1st class test is on the 1st Thursday of the month (Mar or Sept)

2nd class test is on the 2nd Thursday of the month (Mar or Sept)

3rd class test is on the 3rd Thursday of the month (Mar or Sept)

 

Good luck son!

You can change residancy once now in the service.  To change and get an address, like for Colorado, go to Wyoming, get adrivers licence, a PO bow AND street adrress, by using a mailboe plus outlet.  The physical address works for UPS, etc, and how ever often, they will foreward your mail to any address.
Comment by boilermom on August 27, 2011 at 10:03am
Craig, Angie, and Clockard-Thanks for the info about state residency. I will look into it and send my SR the info. I can't wait to see him next week for his PIR. Then it's on to Correy Station! Get ready for my barrage of questions over the next few weeks ha. This group, along with the others on the website, has really been a godsend.
Comment by Craig on August 26, 2011 at 11:47pm

Woo-hoo.... Can't wait until next week.  I have a VIP coming to my work, which is my nephew who's in CTT "C" school.  He here for the long holiday weekend and he will get his 1st peek at what CTT's really do in the field...  

Man, I will giving him the complete brief.  I hope he brings his roller blades, because I want to show him what the maintenance guys do.  Man, no one at his command will believe him once he gets back...  Woo-hoo!

He will have the "deer in the headlights" look....
