Kymom - there is a pretty active Japan group on here and they can answer many of your questions.
Whats a spook please? They all have names and most of them I can't understand LOL!!! Mine is a Squid LOL!!!
Thank you all. I too have heard great things about Japan. He is very excited about going. We will be going to see him as soon as we can. Our youngest is going to Great Lakes in Feb. He will be a Spook. As empty nesters we will be able to go see them often. I hope. Best of luck to your sailor Mindya. It's been a long journey for them. I know they are excited to join the fleet.
That's awesome FlnavyMom. Mine is going through the same thing right now! Just a couple more to go. Awesome job to him. Now hopefully our boys can come home for Thanksgiving.
I haven't posted in a long while. I decided to send an update on my Nuke son. He is almost done with Prototype. He has a few more quals to get through. He will be going to Japan. Nuke school has been long and stressful training for my son, but he prevailed! His dad and I are so very proud of him.
