Brandi, Before you get to the new base try to get in touch with the Navy wives club on the base. They will know all about the housing issues. There is a lot of help at every base, you just need to reach out to those already at the base.

Susan, when you go to Pensacola, don't miss the air museum it is a wonderful way to spend a hot July afternoon.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for all your good thoughts. My favorite CTN2 is in the process of buying his first home. He found a lovely end unit townhouse and in now in the process of getting his first mortgage. I thought it would be a simple process because he is getting a VA mortgage and is on active duty. Was I wrong! Anyway, if you could send some good thoughts his way, it couldn't hurt.

Mary, My oldest son is a CTN2 and stationed in Norfolk. The cryptos are allowed to tell us VERY little about what they do. It makes for some very short conversations. CTN stands for cryptologic tech- networking. They do something with the computer networks ( my son works on the ships at Norfolk). He likes it a lot even though he doesn't get to deploy on any of those ships. The wash out rate is high because A school is very tough. What you need to get use to is that your son will be able to tell you next to nothing about what he does. I think the hardest thing about this rate, for us, was the process of getting him his security clearence. Chris insists his rate is very cool. My son the computer geek!

My son was in P-Cola and him and his friends shared in getting a cab a lot. Although, at that time he did not have a car of his own, actually he did but it was not nothing to write home about. He now has a KIA Sportage but he is in West Virginia. He really enjoyed being in P-Cola too. He like the weather because his allergies did not act up while he was there, like they do here at home. Well have a great day.

Wow, this brings back memories. My husband and I drove two cars from Pittsburgh to Pensacola. I drove our car and my husband drove my son's car. We had a fun time and found some neat restaurants on the drive down. Chris needed the car to get himself and his stuff to his permanent duty station in Norfolk.

Alex, Did you mean CTN. That's my son's rate. You need to get use to the idea that he can't tell you anything about what he does. He won't even explain exactly what CTN's do, except that they work with computer networks. They love to use that quote from the movie Top Gun,"I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you." Its only funny the first couple of times. They work very hard, study very hard and put in long hours. He'll need a lot of patient support from you.
