While on vacation to North Carolina with my Mom, I got a call from my recruiter on Wed. evening, the 24th, telling me I've got a new ship date!
I am off to Great Lakes to begin a new adventure on:
Tuesday, September 21st, 2010.
It's for real now!
Wow!
This should put my graduation from Recruit Training around the first week of December.
"It's not just a job. It's an Adventure!"

Reason for Writing
This is to be a day-by-day account of my experiences in the U.S. Navy... the ups, the downs, the hard work, the easy days, the accomplishments and frustrations. I don't want to forget what it is like, and if that means other people can enjoy and experience it along with me, I think that's wonderful.
