Gentlemen,

Well we're running another son through the mill starting 3/24/2010. His name is Jared and he is singed up for the spec ops program.

I'm curious if anyone else has a son or daughter starting B/C during the week of 3/24/10.

We have not been assigned a ship yet but I'm sure we'll get news of that within a week or two.

I have another Son that has been in for a year and a half now. He is stationed in washington state.

It was getting to the point where I had to admit my roommate had something when she said it stunk in here. I mean, I was admitting to a little foot fungus, but nothing Lotrimin couldn't cure, right? Riiight?
