Enjoying hearing about new aviators getting their first orders. It's an exciting period in their careers. We have finally hit a time where our DS and family are on our coast and will be here for a while. Well, technically the family is on our coast. He will have two sea tours. Since he winged, this has been the treadmill:
Graduated Flight School August 2001
Reported to FRS - San Diego
Reported to Squadron - San Diego
Deployed 2003
Reported to Squadron - San Diego/attached to ship
Reported to Squadron - Norfolk
IA -Afghanistan
Reported to Squadron - San Diego
Reported to Squadron - Jacksonville
Deployed 2010
Reported to Squadron - Norfolk
Reported to Navy War College - Newport
Reported to Squadron - San Diego
Deploying 2014
Busy times for the family.

Congrats Rose! Our DS had is first super hornet solo today. He sent us a picture and his smile is as wide as his helmet! :-)
Nancy - hate when we miss those texts or calls; timing is everything for sure. Best of luck these next few weeks - sounds like your plate is loaded.
Congrats Whitney! Always nice to have a little more time in one location. Our DS knows he won't stay where he is after his training, so he hopes to experience some military stability in a few months.
Have a great weekend ladies!

Thanks for your greetings. Today our NFO found out his selection: NAS Oceana (so, Super Hornets). Exactly what he (and the rest of us) had hoped for his FRS assignment.
:::: happy dance ::::

Congrats Whitney! Milton is a nice base.
We got the official winging invite! Really gonna happen. Anybody have any clues when they find out about their next assignment? Is it before winging?

Congratulations, Whitney. It's nice that you won't have to move for the next round. Good luck to your husband with helos, too.
Rose, enjoy the winging. It's an incredible time after all their hard work. Where is your NFO headed? What type of plane? My DS called from Hong Kong last night. It's hard to believe his three years in Japan are almost up.
He'll be headed to Nevada next; official orders just came through although we knew that's where he was going. He'll be a specialist instructor at the Naval Air Warfare center (i.e., Top Gun), but I don't quite get what his "specialty" will be. Upside is that he says it's a dream job; downside is that he's already been at TG twice and knows that Fallon is pretty desolate. Anyone have someone who's been stationed there?
I'm just looking forward to having him in the States! Best of all, he'll be home for Christmas. It will sure beat forward deployment.

Yet another ending/beginning.on his incredible journey with the Navy. :-)
