Sorry I havent given you all an update! I am still in school and it is pretty much impossible to take leave to go home! So heres a very quick update. I am at ASchool which is my technical training on how to do my job which is an aviation warfare specialist operator, which means in english that i will be a radar operator on P-3s hunting for submarines. It sounds so interesting right? Its great because I will never have to go on sea duty or touch a ship so that is very convenient. I should be graduating school late November then going to SERE school in Maine for 2 weeks then to a fleet replacement squadron in jacksonville. anyway...currently our whole base is getting evacuated because of this hurricane ivan! it is very annoying trying to get flood ready but thats what the Navy does best I guess! haha So we will be going north to Albany, GA for who knows how long! Other than that I am doing well. Just enjoying the beach, not liking the humidity, missing the mountains, and making new friends and getting great training! I love and miss all my friends and family! I wanna come homeee!!! <3 more later!
