Another Hurdle
I just graduated from ET "A" school yesterday. That's 6 months, to the day, that I went to Boot Camp. I was an Honor Grad which netted me kind words from Commander sullivan, the new CO for the Center for Surface Combat Systems here at Great Lakes, a challenge coin, and a day planner (for 2006 which makes me laugh a bit). The benes were nice but my pride at the first, getting congratulated by a Commander and Master Chief was outstanding.

My orders, picked but not written, will have me going to "C" school on the West Coast and then being assigned to the USS Ronald Reagan. I'm looking forward to living in California for the next decade or longer.

So now I'm on hold as I'm allowed to take 15 days of leave before reporting to my command, but I don't want to take this leave until I can do so over Christmas and New Years.

Oh, and on Monday I'm dropping my chit to be advanced to Electronics Technician, 3rd class (E-4).
