Well it has been almost one month now, but we finally got information on my son's rating. It looks like he is going to be a nuke. He will be leaving for South Carolina after bootcamp. His first choice was ET, but he didn't get that. His rate is MM. I don't know how he is going to like that, I can't imagine him doing anything mechanical! He is such a math whiz and did so well on his ASVAB, I am surprised he didn't get his first choice. But after doing some research I understand that nothing is guaranteed and that it all depends on what the Navy needs. I am just very happy that he gets to remain in the field he signed up for! PLUS we get to see him at PIR in only two weeks!
I was such a basketcase when we first thought we was being dropped from nuke because of his color blindness, I just wanted to give an update that things are looking up, I hope!
