Our son finished his training in late November, came home for a couple weeks, then headed off to Pearl Harbor. He is assigned to the USS Paul Hamilton, DDG60. So far he seems to be enjoying it.

I was a GSE for 14 years (GSEC) then turned LDO (LCDR) for 12 years.  I know quite a bit about this rating.

Wow! She is going to serve on the USS Sullivans. Named after 5 now famous WWII brothers who were serving on the same ship. Very cool. Thanks for the update Laron. You must be very proud.

My son said he will have abt an hour and a half b4 having to go to Mainside. It is not that far from the Vistors Center. Maybe a long six blocks. We will give him a cell ph. so he can keep us updated. Will check in, hopefully to get a pass when he returns, so we may take him back to his quarters on mainside. If anyone returns their son or daughter to their barracks i would suggest go straight from Main gate to Farragut Field. Building 1 is straight ahead.Take right and then left.
(Straight ahead at stop sign will take u to Hospitalside.A right will take u to MU's and old Camp Barry.) )
Go straight past theatre to stop sign.
DO NOT go beyond! Off LIMITS TO ENLISTED!
OFFICERS(Base CO,XO'S qrtrs) COUNTRY!
(A right turn just before stop sign will take u downhill to Lake Michigan. Fishing equipment rental,sailboat lessons and rentals and north to Nunn Beach on right, swimming,when no pollution, BBQing, sand VB. A camping area is set up on the far north end for Retired military. Then back up hill. Stop sigh at the HT school. Turn left then right at Mickey D's. Then past the GM school two/three blocks. NEX on right Turn left to GS school and barracks.)
Drive past the front of Bldging 1 (Headquarters Bldg.) north. Track and pool will be on ur left. Then Galley### and to Mickey D's .Turn, left again, go two blocks past GM school (Green Glass Bldg) on left. GS school will be visible on your left as two tall grey stacks emerge from it. NEX on right. Turn left again. Barracks are in the general area of the school.
Otherwise first left ,if not a oneway after crossing bridge inside Main gate. Straight north to barracks.
Hope my rememberer is wrking ok. Gud luckand enjoy your time with your Sailor!
