Well it has been a while but I'm back. My son Wyatt just called from MEPS in Portland Or. and he is now in the delayed entry program for the Navy. He will be on that until November. He wants the Master at Arms job, so he wants to wait for the job to open. If one comes available before November he will go early. We are very proud of him and all the hard work. I will keep you all up to date on whats going on. He's finely on his way.

Take care and be safe.

I maybe more excited than my son that he will be going off to Great Lakes RTC April 19.
