Proud single dad of two great Navy kids!! My daughter is a Navy vet and served on the USS Abraham Lincoln as an MC3 (Mass Communications Specialist).

Currently he is an instructor at A-school in Pensacola. I've been chief chemist for a number of world-class gold, silver, and copper mines for 40 years and just recently retired. Raised in the Sierra Nevada mountains, graduated from the University of Maryland (class of '77), a confirmed Westerner and Proud Navy Dad !!!

thanks for the warm welcome!
Thank you Paul for the welcome! I enjoyed reading about your daughter's journey!
Thank you Paul! I really appreciate the information.
Best,
Erika
Thanks for the welcome, Paul, and for the advice on where to learn more. I'll check it out!
Hi Again... Just searched and found one of your previous answers on this... So Its not Ship 5, but more like the 'medical hold' section... Any info is appreciated
Hi Paul! Thanks for the welcome! So big question... We just got word that my son-in-law has been put in the RCU, Recruit Convalescent Unit. Waiting for medical tests. What can you tell me about this? Is this the infamous Ship 5?
HAHA! Not in history making double overtime they don't!! Until next year, BEAT NAVY!!
Thank you for the links Paul. Very much appreciated. Our son writes us as soon as his yeoman duties are up to date and as frequently as he can highlighting his days and even the not so eventful. He is in the top three for top cadet scoring at the moment. We're extremely proud that he gets "volunteered" to demonstrate skills. Proud at the leader he is becoming. Battle Stations 21 a mere two weeks away. Looking forward to his school time.
Thank you for the welcome; I was USN myself (ET on USS Anzio CG-68) from 1995-2001 so I'm sure there's quite a few things that Bryson will have in common with me; very odd to be in the same position that I put my own father in ~27yr ago though :-)
Thanks Paul. Right now I guess he got moved to Ship 5. He has two medical waivers stemming from a DVT he had in high school from an injured vein. It’s been a year long and arduous process involving many military and civilian doctors to understand the records and get the waivers. Apparently now they want a waiver for a factor 5 gene he tested positive for back in 2018. I’m not sure how much fight he has left in him. He’s been trying for four years to get into the military and finally gets in and now this. I’m praying for him.
