Geoff was also in the band and I'm sure he is not having a problem with marching. He was section leader of the percussion section his Sr. year in HS. Geoff is also an E-3 as he will be a NUKE. Learning to run the Nuclear Power Plant on a sub or aircraft carrier. Mom told me Chip was the one sworn in by himself, so I now know who is his. Geoff will head to Charleston, SC for A School. It is nice making a connection. Later.

He likes Geoff because he is intelligent & mature & knowing Chip, Geoff must be fun.Some of the younger guys must really be struggling. Chip went in as an E-3 but is just going in for reserves right now.  He is submitting an officer package to intell.  They have a board that meets a couple times a year and he was not accepted the first time but his intell lieutenant (that's who swore him in) wants him to keep re-applying. So for now his A School, I think is in Mississippi - Logistics.

Chip said he was helping the div with marching because it was just like marching band in high school. Chip was also a lifeguard so his swim qual. was easy for him.

Hey, stay in touch! We can swap stories. I talked to "Mom" on the Navy for Moms site.
