Hi---i talked to my son today and i remembered to ask him about your question...lol
He said that yes, they 'kind of' get a choice between FT, ET, and STS (or whatever it is)
He told me that they get to write down there pics in order of preference, then depending on what is available and in higher demand in the Navy right now, is what they assign them to. I think it also depends on how well they perform in their schooling. I remember his recruiter telling him that he may start out training for FT, but if he seems to struggle at all (i guess its really hard) then they will train him for ET (which is also hard, but a little better i guess)...so i hope your husband get what he originally wanted...good luck---JAN
Yeah, that's what I'm trying to tell myself. I know he's busy, I'm just worried ugh!
I'm glad they are having more "fun" up there haha :) I'm so excited about their pictures omg! I can't wait to see how freaking gorgeous he is in his uniform!
I'm flying out Thursday the 10th. You?
Yeah I'm definitely enjoying the steady letters, but I didn't get one today which he should have mailed on Tuesday and another woman who's husband is in the same division got a letter today, so I'm a little worried. Trying not to be, but you know how that goes...Did you get a letter today?
He's doing really well though. His division got two flags, he's passed all of his inspections perfectly, passed all his tests, passed his physical fitness assessments and he's been nominated along with one other SR to be the division's honor graduate! So yes, he is definitely doing well!
I just can't wait for this whole thing to be over with. I can't wait to talk to him and hold him and love him like crazy! :) 19 days! <3
Ok - so I was just looking at your "info" and noticed that you are from NY - I too am from NY did your husband leave from Albany to go to Boot Camp on Jan 10 - if so I bet they got to know each other on the trip to GL. That is kinda neet for that is the case -
