    Hi John -

    I was trying to figure out who your wife is. The mom's only know each other by first name or "so-in-so's mom". OPSEC best practices has the N4Ms trained not to reveal last names on these forums. It's great to make your acquaintance! Your son's choice of rating is something to be very proud of. I don't know if Kim told you that our Mark is trying to go from Reserves to Active and pursuing the same rating. It's entirely possible that they could wind up in the same school at the same time. I see you folks only live a full day's drive from us. We'll all have to get together after the tulips start blooming. We'll pray that all the details work smoothly as Alex get's closer to departure. Keep in touch.

    Just a few hundred miles NW.

    Hi!
    My son left for BC on June 25th also!
    He is in Ship 04 DIV 840.
    I'm a member of NavyforMoms, so, I'm sure I've probably chatted with your wife.
    By chance is your son in DIV 840?
