On top of this she is gonna be a communications tech (dunno the MOS off the top of my head) , same field I was in before I retired. My family has history of military service in this country since the Civil War. I must have done something right in her upbringing for her to consider serving and acutally deciding to do so.

I raised three daughters myself and the middle one went into the Regular Navy right upon graduating from high school. She spent six years on Active Duty and got out as an ET-2, or E-5 pay grade. Got a lot of schooling in the Navy at various bases, Great Lakes in Illinois, Norfolk, San Diego another place in Virgina that I forget right now. Her main duty station was in Colts Neck, New Jersey. While she was in, she met and married another sailor, also based out of Colts Neck. While she was in, she had two kids, a boy and a girl, all paid for my Uncle Sam. She and her husband both got out in 2000 and are presently living in Colorado Springs where they settled, as her husband is from around there. She landed a few high tech jobs with her Navy training. The first one was a great job, but they closed down manufacturing in the states and moved everything to China. So she is on another high tech job now making good money. Yes, I was quite a proud daddy when the recruiter came by to talk to her and she signed up. She was in one of the last boot camps in Orlando, Florida before they shut the base down. In September of 1994, my youngest daughter and I flew down to Orlando to witness her pass-in-review from boot camp. Being an ex-Navy and also ex-Army vet myself, you can see why I was so proud of her. Curt
