Wow Brettany, that is wonderful news about your hubby!! He sounds like a very smart young man...you must be proud! I agree with you that it is even more of an honor that he was nominated by the other SR's. Send our congrats in your next letter. He sounds like a perfect candidate for the Seaman to Admiral program. (STA-21). I read about it on the RTC website when I was studying for the trivia question last week!!!

Yes, he has been looking forward to the STA-21 Program since he enlisted. His recruiters have been saying he'd be perfect for it! He got a perfect score on his ASVAB, Honor Grad, EPO, and he is a Nuke... He has everything going for him right now! As long as he continues to succeed and strive for the things he wants, he will do great! I will tell him for you! It will make him feel good! I'm so ready for the question tomorrow lol I want a pic! Idk if your boys told you, but Josh said their Battle stations will be 5/26! I can't wait to hear from him!

Hi Brettany, The boys did write about battlestations on Friday. I really stressed in my letter to work together as a team and to pay attention!! I'm going to be saying some extra prayers for div 189 on Friday. Your husband sounds like he is officer material. I have never heard of a perfect ASVAB score, that is fantastic!!! I would love for him to rub off on my younger son. He is very smart, but young and doesn't always apply himself. He's is the middle one in the trivia picture. I think the Navy is perfect for him, it has showed him already that you earn rewards and honors thru hard work! Good luck with the trivia question. I won't play again because that would seem rude if I won again!!!! I'll give you a tip....study the main RTC website. I even took notes.... LOL!! I'm going to lurk on there tomorrow and watch, I hope to see your name on top!!!

Thank you I hope I can win too! I hope I'm home in time! My dog is getting fixed so I'm taking her to the vet. And yes it was the first time his recruiter had seen a perfect score as well. But if you ask him what he got, he will just tell you he did very well... He's so modest! Something I admire about him!! I can't wait to be with him again next week! Or for his phone call on friday! I'm sure they will do great at battle stations... They seem to really be coming together as a team!

I can't wait either!! I'm going shopping today to buy another suitcase and an outfit to wear to PIR. I know this is a trivial question, but what are you all going to wear to the ceremony?? Dressy or casual? I've been checking the weather there too and I don't know what to wear. It seems to rain one day and warm the next. I also wanted to let everyone know that we are able to print out the gate pass now. You have to use the password that was written on the first form letter you received from your SR.

Your question is not trivial. I've been trying to decide because I wanted to wear a dress but don't want to wear heels and where we leave it is already close to 90 so again how cool is it going to be there? I think I've decided on dress paints and nice blouse so hopefully I'll be comfortable. I'm a little worried about rain though. Don't want to spend time on hair if the rain is going to undo everything I've done since we have to be there so early.
