Hey there Melissa!
My son Brian is in the RP program to be a Religious Program Specialist. He graduated back on March 7, but due to some him changing to the RP program (God definitely knew Brian's heart and made it possible for him to switch rates), he was "on hold" until yesterday, when he flew to Meridian Mississippi. His goal is to become a Navy Chaplain.
While he was still at Great Lakes, he worked under Command Chaplain and learned a little about what his new rate will require of him. He's glad to finally be out of Chicago! LOL
Take care....

You know what's funny about that? They told Brian that there were no openings in that field so he was in boot camp as a boatswaim(sp?). But through the grace of God, he was transferred to the RP program. He was assigned to Great Lakes for A-School, but it was while he was on hold that his rate was changed. Then he was sent to Meridian. He told me that the base isn't actually in Meridian and that to get to town, it's a $20 cab ride, one way. So he stayed on base during A-School. But the classes there are completed at the sailors pace, so Brian was out of there in 4 weeks.

Hi Melissa!
Bryan is in GL for Operation Specialist. Looking at air traffic control. He has some other things in mind! He is a man with a plan! A much different young man than the one who was sleeping until noon not too long ago!
