Thought you all might find this funny, I sure did. I found out on FB today that the RDC Chief of division 326 has been assigned to the Vinson, my son's ship, and he is now a Senior Chief. My son doesn't know what his rate is but he did say that at least he can't yell at him, LOL. A couple of the other guys he is with were also in 326 at boot camp.

This time last year was the longest 32 days of my life. I remember staying up late at night with sons girlfriend making our travel arrangements and wondering what he was doing in boot camp. We tried to imagine him cleaning up after himself (back then that was not easy for us) haha. What a fine young man the Navy has given us.
