Used to be they got their wings when they graduated, but not so anymore. My Stephen laid that one on us just the other night. So we will not get to pin his wings on him after all.

Pete Potter said… - Mark, I see your son will be stationed in Jacksonville. I live approx. 10 miles from NAS Jax. I was not sure if you had been to Jacksonville or not but thought I would offer any help if you would like. My son Curtis just went to Basic Training on Monday and we got "the call" around 2:50 am Fla. Time.... I am looking forward to his first letter.

- Hi Mark, thanks for joining the Airdales! Hopefully we can generate some interest here among other aviation-related families. I was blessed to enjoy about 10 years in the P-3 community. I was trained at VP-30 in Jax as a P-3C Update III Weapons System Tech, which means I learned all of the avionics systems onboard. It was a great job, and a bit cushy compared to shipboard life.
Will Stephen be aircrew, or a "ground pounder" (ground maintenance only)?

- Welcome aboard Mark! Glad to have you and your family as part of our Navy family. We did CAP instead of Sea Cadets, but it sure provided great training opportunities and opened doors.
What does your son (Stephen?) do in the Navy? Has he completed his training yet?
You don't happen to be affiliated with the PCA in TX? Our church in VA prays for a pastor with your name there.
Blessings, Kevin

Welcome Aboard Mark. You have joined a great bunch of proud parents and family members.
I have one son in the Air Force and one who just graduated Navy boot. He is now in ‘A’ School. He is studying to be a Yeoman. I am still not real clear as to the nature of his job but I am sure that once he leaves ‘A’ school he will have a good grasp on what his job is.
Have a look around this great site and have fun getting to know the folks here, their great.
