    Youngest son no athletics

    If he likes to swim-get a lifeguard and WSI certification. And work summers - a little sporty, epic shortages everywhere of high schoolers able and willing to work that job/and working is always a good look. Spend the time available for sports on something active and useful that will help...

    Recruiting woes

    Yes true. DS is single and having the time of his life seeing the world and SWO ing about. The money is great/he is deployed a lot and just keeps a small place in the States-banks a lot of money. But-not so great if you want a family and In your 30s. And being an officer pays more than your...

    NROTC SCHOLARSHIP

    NROTC paid my DS school - University of San Diego - directly. The school understood that the tuition payments were slow from NROTC so it was never a problem if they were a bit late.

    The Defense Secretary's Curious New Year's Hospital Stay

    It’s just not a good look. You have to wonder if this is an isolated communication problem with the Pres/VP or a symptom of a broader communication disconnect. if a broader disconnect why? Particularly as things don’t seem that great in the world right now. I mean DS just had his commitment...

    Colorblind?

    It really will depend on the level of deficiency. My DS had a small deficiency but passed the requirements for Navy. I think at our private optometrist he missed 2 plates of about 35 of the Hardy Rand Ritter Assessment but had a much harder time with the PIP test so we were worried. Because the...

    What song/album/artist are you listening to?

    Hey Baby (Drop it to the floor)-Pitbull (gets me through my plank choreography) It’s Christmas Time-Joey+Rory (because it mentions our deployed peeps. Luck has DS with leave over the holidays but in my heart I feel and remember those that have had deployments extended lately)

    EDO

    And correct me if I’m wrong but if you have your SWO pin, apply for EDO, get a spot, you will be sent to get a masters once they move you over from SWO to EDO. It seems to involve more than an undergraduate engineering degree. So, if you aren’t into more college-EDO wouldn’t seem to be a good...

    What is the difference between Engineering Duty Officer work and See Bee Engineering Officer work? Asking for a friend. Both designations are engineers but what is the actual work that you are doing difference? Txs

    U.S. Moving Navy Ships / Aircrafts Closer to Israel

    Whatever-I think we can all agree that this is a real CF. My only hope is that it doesn’t spread outside the immediate conflict. And that the presence of our carrier groups are enough to make others think twice about joining in. This conflict and territory dispute, land changing hands, has...

    U.S. Moving Navy Ships / Aircrafts Closer to Israel

    Hmmm. If I’m China, I would certainly have the thought that now is the time for Taiwan. I hope not. Although I have hope that the Chinese would not engage in the pure evil of Hamas. It saddens me that some people in this country think killing babies, children and the disabled are justified. I...

    Christian Universities Offering NROTC Marine Option Program

    You may want to check-Point Loma Nazarene was a San Diego crosstown affiliate when my DS was at USD NROTC. It is Protestant Christian. The trick is that the San Diego NROTC unit can fill up fast so if you get an award late in the process there is some risk to it being full. “Christian” is a...

    SHAME SHAME on this person for doing this!! ( & request for rumor control)

    Hmmm. To the OP-I don’t know about cheesesteaks, USNA church mommas, ordnance in the telescoping tube, and I don’t know about you but things are better when I’m dancing. AS LONG AS it is NOT on the deck of a pleasure craft veering dangerously close to DS ship when he is OD into San Diego, waving...
