Military Thread
Hi everyone, Just thought I'd start a military thread here since I know there are a lot of Military folks in Va. (active and etc).
I'm getting stationed in Norfolk after I finish a 2 week school in Oceana. I'll be checking into school 1st week of Dec. I'm pretty sure both Rory and Tomcat are Navy like me...anyone else?

<SIGH>I am so OLD.I take it the ship that was sold to the Turks was a Perry Class??
My next Duty Station will be my 3rd ship.

PN1 Davis, USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71). 16 years and looking forward to my next career! (Don't know what it will be yet, but...) Tomcat, if you plan on going navy, what do you want to do? Make sure they give you an 'A' school, or you'll end up scraping paint for a living.olgreymare86, good luck on the Kearsarge. I hear she's getting up there in age. Those flat bottom ships roll pretty good, too. I did two years on the Belleau Wood (LHA 3), and MAN, could she roll!

One thing I've learned: no matter what your job is, sooner or later in your career, you are going to do some painting. Or tiling (like I am now). Or galley work. You get the idea. But it is rewarding when it's all said and done. Now my older son (17 this weekend) is talking about joining.

Spent 4 years on the Peleliu (LHA-5) out of San Diego prior to my latest shore tour...and looking forward to going back to sea.
Sick huh??
