I’ve taken on to the BBC.

What ship? My brother was on the Tripoli same time, heloing out the embassy casualties. I would like to be optimistic that Iran would change but get the feeling that they will just keep on keeping on no matter what the setback. Pretty hard to evolve when opposing the regime means death, prison...

No one ever knows what might have been. I do not believe that Iran would or has been honoring any nuclear deals irrespective of whatever presidential administration has or would negotiate them. I think it is possible to have opinions about Iran’s progress towards nuclear arms but who knows?

Sounds like a job for the LCS!

My running playlist needs an upgrade. What are some songs I might add? Eclectic is fine - current list has everything from ‘Running on Empty’ to ‘HOTTOGO’. TIA, Lucy Baconnaise.

Lucy. After Lucille Ball because I’m a bit zany and love to laugh. In retrospect, after being on the forum, I might have went for “Baconnaise” because it has a nice sound to it.

Has he had de-sensitizing therapy? If not, find out from the Cadre if he can do a retest after getting therapy. Therapy may not work but it may. I seem to remember a thread out here where a candidate succeeded in that path but I’m not sure what branch, may have been Air Force.

I keep signing my emails to DS “Be vigilant and lucky”. In SWO, it takes very little to end a career-after putting everything into it. I imagine lotta peeps in the air group are crushed. For those on the forum considering a Navy career-you can be on every day and one bad day can crush it...

DS is on a ship in the Truman carrier group. I know they extended the deployment another week (which is public information) but I hope they get back soon. I’m curious to get the inside scuttlebutt on all of this stuff but DS will make me promise not to share I’m sure. I feel lucky his ship...

@THParent - same. Awhile back, there was a thread discussing a social media post (if I recall) about a SWO in tears. Tears over transit to first duty station, tears over being sidelined from Div to finish quals-apparently the whole Div cried. Like a season of “the Bachelor”. So, I asked DS-do...

Perhaps help her set up a Service Academy Forum account-she can find a good space to get information and encouragement. And perspective. My DS first ship was out of San Diego. Statistically, I had no worries when he was deployed-I was far more worried when he was he was living in his apartment...

Excellent! Us too.

Plus, it looks like this happened on 2 crew LCS. DS was on one of those under the 2 crew model. The deployments were short, frequent port visits with WIFI abundance etc. to catch up on socials. Being Littoral waters are close to land. Also, with crew swap, he rotated out to San Diego every 3...

Yes-Cross Country doesn’t cost much and is possible Varsity. Many of the other Varsity teams are hard to make because they tend to have students with families that have been able to afford getting there via club sports since elementary or middle school sadly. Most communities are begging for...

True-they would be killed
