He better get me the real address if he wants the stuff. What is with these kids. You ask a direct question and get a round answer. I know they are adults but... he is my baby.

NancyJo - yes, the venue has a cute little chapel and a beautiful reception area (The Chapel of Orange if you want to look it up).  The Chapel was built in 1909 - it used to be the Chapman Chapel (my college alma mater) and now it's a wedding venue and they still do church services on Sundays.

Kbpoohbear - our sons address in PS was something like
ETN3 First M Last
Class 1801-02
Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on January 16, 2019 at 2:52pm

The first swearing in is usually when they enter the DEP program.  The final swearing in is when they leave for BC.  We didn't go to the first swearing in either.  The final one we went to.  We were able to go the night before and stayed in the hotel where the Deppers stayed - took B out to dinner and then went to the swearing in in the morning.  Even followed along to the airport to say one last goodbye lol.  I wonder if he'll have another final swearing in when he leaves in February?

I don't remember how the address changes when they get to power school - hopefully someone else will chime in with that!

Comment by Kbpoohbear on January 16, 2019 at 2:26pm

I know my son had 2 swearing ins but we were only allowed to be at the last one. He left right after. So far my nephew's experience has been the same as my son but my sister is at today's swearing in and he doesn't leave for a month. We will see.

On another note my son wants some stuff sent to him and he said when he starts power school the t track in the address changes to ENPS 1902 or something like it. I know other mothers have sons that just started power school, can you help with this?

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on January 16, 2019 at 1:42pm

B'sNuke, that's awesome! Right around my birthday. ;D Will the wedding and reception be at the same venue? Feel free to share deets!

mamaquilt68, glad you got what you needed. These Mamas are great!

Comment by mamaquilt68 on January 16, 2019 at 1:13pm

Thank you for all the comments and advice.  He has been communicating the last couple of days-especially so I can send his XBox!  Lol.  Don't know how much time he'll have to use it, but he has friends online that I know he wants to communicate with.  

He has already been "classed up" and has a lot of briefings, computer labs and such this week.  He sounds quite busy already.

Thanks for the advice about not accumulating too much stuff. I was thinking about that when I was packing the boxes this morning!

Hi all - Happy Wednesday!

Image result for wacky wednesday images

Kbpoohbear - sorry, no experience with the army but ours was the same situation as NancyJo - 9 months between signing his contract and leaving for BC.

B&C settled on a venue for the wedding so things are moving along!  They did move the date to 7.19.2020 so they'll be out of school (and less stressed).  Seems so far away now but I know the time will go by fast ;-D

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on January 16, 2019 at 9:54am

Kbpoohbear, I can't speak about the army but my sailor had 9 months between signing and going to BC. It's all about the number of people heading for whatever rate and having enough of them. I wouldn't be surprised that the army is similar to the navy in that regard. But maybe somebody here has real knowledge about the army.

Comment by Kbpoohbear on January 15, 2019 at 8:47pm

Does anyone out there have experience with the Army? My nephew just signed and gets sworn in tomorrow but isn't supposed to report until February? Does that sound right
