Happy July 4th, and a good day to share this news!!
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

That's great news, John! He is headed out to be one of the best of the best. He will get more training in the next three years than civilians take to accomplish a BS and MS degree. Best wishes to him ...

Congrats and tell your son "Thank You" and give him a firm handshake from me.
(Of course those of us that were in the Army.....well, never mind.)
Being a Viet Nam vet, nothing makes me happier or more satisified than to see the respect and appreciation our young vets are receiving from the public.

Great! Congratulations. Sounds like he has a fine career ahead of him.
I helped both of my kids, and a few relatives and friends get through basic training. There are some really simple rules to follow. They all said I was exactly right, and keeping those rules in mind made boot campe pretty easy.
1. Do exactly what they tell you. Exactly. A lot of it appears to be just stupid stuff, that doesn't make any sense. Doesn't matter, do it anyway. Keep your mouth shut, don't complain, and just do it.
2. The permanent party people are not your friends. Not even the medics and psychs. If they ask how things are going, say "Outstanding Sir!". If they ask how you feel, say " Proud to be here, sir!". NEVER say things like tired, or home sick, or down. NEVER. Unless you want to come home on the next bus.
3. Relaxe, have a good time, and go with the flow. It's only a few weeks, and 1 year from now nobody will care what you did in Basic.

John,
Congrats on your parenting and enstilling American values and responsibility. That is very exciting news. If he is anything like his dad he is already a great person.
