My son is currently serving
What Were Your Feelings When Your Sailor Joined The Navy:
The fact that Buck turned 18, became an Eagle Scout, and joined the Navy all in a 10 day period had us in a whirlwind of emotions. We were proud he decided to join the Navy, as me and my wife are Navy vets. Proud he became an Eagle Scout, as only 3 percent of scouts ever attian that honor. Finaly sadness, we were glad he had decided on a course for his life , but he would also be leaving us soon.

    Andrew is getting ready to take the E-4 exam in a few days. There is a lot of competition in the Aviation ratings due to the amount of young sailors choosing this career path so it requires a high score to get promoted due to the number taking the test.
    He likes his job, the work, and most of his coworkers.
    Some one got the bright idea to rearrange the barracks in to squadrons. Andrew was sent to a different building. Through the move he met some new friends and is out doing some new things.
    A couple of Marines through activities at Chapel are being deployed to the Middle East.

    Andrew is still in Hawaii with his squadron. He is progressing through his qualifications and working on his "yellow shirt" on the flifgth line.
    Andrew missed the E-4 cut off by a few percentage points. There were not to many po3 promotions as the avaition ratings as a group are very fully satffed and the competation is pretty stiff Navy wide.
    We will be with out Andrew this holiday season, but we hope to visit him in the spring.
