Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome all - great to be here. My son Matt is in is second week of OCS - he's slotted for pilot training. If that pans out he'll be in the service 10 years (2 years flight training and then an 8 year commitment.) I'll be around awhile. :-).

What is ready 6 and basic on a Destroyer?
