Happy 4th of July to all, and I want to share some news concerning my family.
This is a perfect day to tell you that my son made a decision and joined the Navy on Monday(6-29-09). His initial assignment following his ASVAB text score (96 out of 99) is Missile Technician-Submarine, Advanced Electronics Field. He was contacted Monday afternoon and offered Nuclear, which he accepted, and we are waiting on that paperwork and new contract. Needless to say, we are very proud of him. He also qualified for all the Special Ops- Seal, Rescue Diver, etc.....but those require a different set of physical requirements that must be met prior to being accepted. The Navy has training available here and he will start working out with them this coming Wednesday, and we are confident he will complete this with no problem. His College credits and Eagle Scout give him two Rank advancements going in when he reports for Basic Training.
Thanks,
The Russell family
