Hi Tracy.. is your SR a Nuke? I also got letters today and yesterday, he sounded great today. Last week he was on LLD so I've been nervously waiting to hear if he was back to normal duty and it sounds like he is. He said he was made one of the 'ships staff' not sure what that means it sounded like a good thing! he also said that they met with the nuclear advisor and put in their first and second choice for ratings, he's hoping for ET, he said they should find our on Monday.Since your SR is headed to Charleston I'm guessing he is a Nuke too.

We (finally) made our reservations for PIR... less than a month, CAN'T wait!

Hi Eliza...Yes, my SR is a Nuke.  My SR is part of the ship staff now too, he said his job is dusting, I guess their job is to keep the ship clean!  When my SR left, he wanted to be an ET too, but changed is mind last week to EM when they had the nuke meeting and he is saying subs not carrier.  He said he will find out Monday what he gets, too. Can't wait for a letter next week to let us know. He said in a letter last week that their were few nukes in their divisions.  We can't wait either!

Tracy, sounds like our son's will be together for a while! I was wrong in my previous post, his first choice is EM (not ET) and MM for the second, he had signed up for Subs when he signed on and since he hasn't mentioned anything I'm guessing that hasn't changed.

He also mentioned that as part of the ships staff they are responsible for watches on the quarterdeck, which he was a bit nervous about because there are so many chiefs and petty officers up there.

love it Tracy! I have mine cut out but no anchor on it yet. What did you use for the Anchor and pattern? 

Permalink Reply by tracy03-071 on January 23, 2012 at 1:42pm

I will scan in the anchor when I go back to work after lunch, then I can email it to you tonight, it is almost 4 1/2 inches high.  I used blue fleece for the anchor and fused it on the scarf, and then used yellow thread for sewing it on.

Here is the pattern for the anchor....
