Back to South Carolina | Chickens in the Road

Oct
7

Yesterday, I flew to South Carolina. Today, I’m attending Ross’s Navy Nuclear Power Training School graduation! What a long road this has been! I’m SO proud of Ross. Power School is one of the Navy’s toughest schools. I will be driving home with Ross tomorrow, and he’ll be in West Virginia for two weeks. (Yay!) When he returns to South Carolina, he will complete another round of school, Nuclear Prototype, which is more of a hands-on school than the brutally intense and academic Power School, and it is the final frontier. When he finishes prototype, he will be assigned to a submarine and go to work.

See ya tomorrow back in WV!

I live just up the road from were you are, in Summerville
I wish I’d have known, I’d have mowed a “Hi Susan!” into the yard LOL I hope you enjoy the trip and have a good drive back home.

Congratulations, Ross!!! Suzanne, your boy has turned into a man. He looks so different from the pics before he left for bootcamp. Enjoy your time together! And, Ross, thank you for your service to our country.

I thought the same thing as Cincyjojo: Ross has grown up and looks so different than the “boy” who left for boot camp!
Congrats Ross! Keep up the good work! Your Mom has good reason to be so proud of you!!!

This is so great. For Ross to KNOW that he can get through a tough physical and then a tough academic program like this is really special. I’m sure it gives him a confidence that he didn’t have before. Our hats are off to you both.
