    Payday ?

    Posted by Mike Barrett on May 30, 2012 at 9:08am 1 Comment

    Good morning from the beautiful state of Colorado. Does any one happen to know when the SR's get their first paycheck? Jennifer started 04/11 2012 and we have not seen a deposit in to her checking acct.

    Thanks

    Posted by Mike Barrett on May 28, 2012 at 7:48pm 2 Comments

    Thank you all for the kind welcome. I told my daughter I really appreciated her becoming a sailor because I was having a blast already being a Navy dad. I've spent so many hours on line looking things up and sitting down at the recruiting office picking the two Petty Officers brains that I feel I could write a pretty comprehensive history of the Navy..........LOL Just an old retired geezer. Anyway thanks for the nice "Welcome Aboard". I have a couple of questions if i may. Jennifer won an award last week where she had to be recommended for it by her RDC's. She said the female Petty officer is a woman of few words, but when she speaks she commands a lot of respect. Well Jenny said she became quite vocal when she was discussing the actions that led to the nomination for the award. Very high praise apparently. Sorry. I guess I was bragging a little bit there. Would anyone know the name of the award. Jenny said they rattled it off so fast all she heard was, "merit" "war" and "dinner with the Admiral at the PIR with Mom afterwards. One more question. When she hits A school she thought she was told that if she graduated as one of the top three sailors in her class she has the option to choose the site of her first duty station. Any where in the world. Is this in fact true? So thanks again for the help and I am looking forward to talking with all of you....         Mike 

    Avionics Rates ?

    Posted by Mike Barrett on May 27, 2012 at 4:43pm 1 Comment

    My daughter, Jennifer is graduating boot camp on 06/08/2012 and heading for A school in Pensacola FL. She probably has received her orders by now but we have not heard yet. I know that there are there are three rates in this field. AT, AV, andi I think AS. Does anyone know the differences between the three. Thanks

    Memorial Day

    Posted by Michael Stephens on May 26, 2012 at 4:58pm 1 Comment

    Memorial Day



    As Memorial Day approaches, those of us attached to the Military Family, either by those who have served, those who are serving (whether in training, deployed, or in support), or those who have lost loved ones in their act of service to this country, will no doubt have a closer tie to the real meaning of Memorial Day. Although a good portion of people "celebrate" this day of honoring our country's fallen by attending family gatherings, enjoying time away from the workplace, or just chilling out, I certainly hope (as I know you most likely do) that time is taken out sometime on Monday (3PM local) to stop and reflect on the true meaning of this day of observance, a day that we should all look at our banner, the good 'ol Stars and Stripes, recalling the importance of the stripes (white for courage and red for the blood shed for this country), a day to remember our all those who have served and died defending freedom, a day to remember those that are still serving this country and their families who give up so much in their support.



    As a proud parent of Nuke, one that is working his why through A-School as he pursues EM status, I feel an added attachment to the importance of Memorial Day. Knowing all those that have come before him and all those after who have or are placing themselves in harm's way to defend our nation, and frankly our freedom, is a humbling experience for a Navy Dad. However, I consider the hard work and dedication to their studies, their physical preparedness, and their increased confidence and see the qualities of all those who have led the way; those that make me stand a little taller as I know that my son and his shipmates are called to a higher purpose for this country, whether noted by the holiday revelers or not. I pray for them daily, asking God to give them strength, purpose, and most of all His protection.   



    On this Memorial Day weekend, I know that those in the Military Family will take time… Continue

We live in Washington, are going to drive to boot Grad. but will fly for the other so we can spend more time with him. Hope all are safe and well and Happy memorial day to all . Jim
