ORDERS!

Nathanael finally got his long awaited orders-they are not what he wanted! He wanted VA. and a communications ship. He got WA. and a sub? ship.(I can not remember exactly what he called it!) Anyway, it's still a smaller ship so advancement is still quite possible. As I understand it, the ship will service subs when they surface. He will be working with radar. He will go to VA. in 2 wks. for "C" school and then report to WA. March 1. That will be his base for about the next 5 years or so. That is a fer piece to travel!!! May as well plan a "little getaway" to Alaska once we go that far!!!! Needless to say, this will make visiting a bit more difficult and alot more costly! I'm just glad it's not Iraq or somewhere that would be impossible to even think about visiting! Please remember to say a prayer for him if he comes to your mind. This will be a whole new adjustment.
Tom is looking forward to getting into the woods this wkend. Hopefully it will pay off with some good venison! Yum!
You all have a great day! Til next time!
