Holy crap Lady H, that is sooooo funny......

Just switch the CTI and make him the CTN, and switch the CTA and make her the CTI and it would be dead on perfect.....The only problem is see then is I can't see the athletic tape on the CTT glasses.

My son told me the same thing but he is coming home late Friday and the airline did not charge him more for the change.

So word is that due to hurricane Issac the upper echelon decide to cancel this Friday as a liberty day and make it a normal instruction/duty day to make up for the Mon.-Wed. classes being cancelled. My son said Monday was perfectly fine and they could have held class. My son thinks they could easily make up those days with all the down time they often have. Do to the command's recent decision to revoking leave for anyone in student status it's safe to say this has had a significant negative impact on morale. With many sailors already approved and planning to leave on Friday for a 4 day weekend this move was another major blow to morale. I know that brass has bigger fish to fry but many sailors have already spent hundreds of dollars on air fare, hotels and other events on this much anticipated upcoming weekend. One quote says it all....

Lady H - Boy do I remember slide rules!  In my family they were called "spanking tools".  My dad would actually show me how to use it, but I must say, I don't think I could do anything on it now.  I love how they put it into the design though, that had to be a CT that thought of that.  I like the brief case too....

CRF - I must admit I have never heard of that.  I would contact the VA to see what they say.  I can't see how California law would trump Federal law.  One thing for sure, if he has orders anywhere but California he would need to change it because Calif doesn't tax the military member out of that state.  One more thing is he cannot just change his residence to save taxes, the Navy doesn't allow that.  However, if he wants to change it because he wants to become a residence of another state, that's a different thing and is allowed. Hint, Hint, Wink, Wink....

Josh - We talk about everything here.  From "The box" to "Slide rules".  We just love having fun and passing different things along.  We all love "the box".  Pretty soon the letters will arrive.  After years on N4M's I have FINALLY come up with a solution!!! This is AWESOME! It works great! But PLEASE wait out by the mailbox and EXPLAIN exactly what it is to your mail carrier so you don't cause a heart attack. They may think it's a bomb, and then you'll get a visit from the Sheriff...again! LOL! Or maybe even the feds! Better put a local bail bondsman's number in you wallet just in case! LOL!

Now when the mailman opens the box, this transmitter sends a signal to the receiver in my house and a CHIME ALERT dings!!! YAY! Instant notification!!!  These are called "Driveway Alerts" and are sold at most home improvement stores. This was only $18.00 at Harbor Freight

See we talk about everything here just to keep it interesting....

Craig, my son is still in P-Cola 2 weeks from finishing C school then to holding with all the other 30-40 CTs waiting for orders. He is still an official Calif. resident. but was think of changing before leaving to avoid the state taxes. He heard about the caveat (delay of benefits) on the GI Bill after separation if he goes back to Ca. for school. He said when the new budget comes through in Oct. orders should come fast & furious. Let's hope...

Clockard, Thanks for the questionaire tip! I never would have thought of that.  That will so work for my son because he hates to write!

That one just cracks me up.  It's sooooo CT.....  it's only missing the pocket protector....

Totally agree with Lady H.

There are many types of warfare pins, being a CT our community is usually the EIDWS (nerd warfare).  However, you get many CTT's that go on ships (cutlasses) or subs (dolphins) as their main pins.  But they can also earn the nerd warfare pin too.  

Not getting a pin now is a career ender.  You are require to get it or your liberty will greatly be severed.
