Another advance in my military career
On Friday, Dec 15th I was advanced from ETSN (Electronics Technician Seaman) to ET3 (Electronics Technician, 3rd class). This is a pay grade jump to the exalted ranks of Petty Officer. It was weird. All of a sudden other students were calling saying, "Good Morning Petty Officer" as they are want to do since most just completed Boot camp and that's beaten pretty well into us.
I'm on Holiday leave now and spending time with friends and family. It's extremely nice to see my niece and sister after over 6 months away.
I have till the 5th of Jan to relax and then it's off to San Diego for more schooling. I'm there for a bit and then off to Norfolk for, you guessed it, more schooling.
I won't get to my ship till early to mid Summer. Now I understand why I had to sign a mandatory 2 year extension to my contract. :)
