Anna - my husband started his career a little before women were allowed in and left a little after they were allowed in. Sad they wouldn't allow you to go to an A school - you probably did not need to learn too much more.

LadyBluefire,
A rating close to my heart!! 100 years ago after my initial enlistment ended as an OS3, I realized the Navy was not quite ready for female OS's, as there was no way to advance without going on a ship and women were not allowed on ships yet. (I know, I'm really showing my age here!!!) I enlisted in the Active Reserves and tried to cross rate to a CTO, but without serious training through a school I couldn't pass the test. Ended my Navy career for good there!! Even the Reserves had no spot for a female OS!!!

Congratulations to your new sailor LadyBluefire!!! Is your daughter going on to a school? If so, what rating is she going for???
thesuperm72,
Congratulations for your girl. 7 months is a good milestone! You should be getting in the grove of being a Navy Mom now!! Is your daughter out in the fleet now or still getting schooling??
So I just have to brag a little bit about my veteran daughter. After she finished her 4 years she got her degree in Health and Family Services from Penn State. She then moved to Oklahoma City where her twin was stationed at that time. She got a job with Express Professionals and today just got another really big promotion!!! This is her 3rd promotion in just over 2 years!!!! And she now gets her own office!!!

Congratulations JayDee and your beautiful daughter!! Yes, time does fly! Can't believe it's been 8 years for my officer daughter, not including the two years she was "in" but finishing her college degree!!! And sailor son has been in for 17 years!!! Wednesday was the 127th birthday for the Chief Petty Officer Mess. I told him 127 looked good on him!!!!
Hope all is well with all our wonderful Moms and their sailors!!!
