DCFN is a Damage Control Fireman. Once they are assigned their duty after school, depending upon their rating, they could be a Fireman Apprentice or a Fireman. When Kevin went to the Tortuga he was an ITSA (IT Seaman Apprentice), they he was ITSN (IT Seaman). Next step is IT3...IT Petty Officer 3rd Class. It gets really confusing at times!

Well...That's what I thought Lee - but... YOU NEVER KNOW IN THE NAVY - LOL! Common sense dictates that, because that that's her job, I wonder what the FN stood for in Boot then????

Brian, this stands for Damage Control Fireman's Apprentice...does that sound right? LOL

Ok Gentlemen - then what does DCFA stand for - LOL! It's not listed, DC id damage control, but there is no FA, there is an FN, which is what Lee was in Boot....Any ideas????

Jim, you are correct! Kevin is Information Technology and just passed his exam for Petty Office 3rd Class...IT3. It is strange how they do these...LOL

Missy, I am afraid I am a bit old to be on the Tortuga, but my son Kevin has been on the Tortuga for ayear now. He just made IT3, so he is pretty stoked right now!
