I am very proud of our son. Today he enlisted in the Navy and will be going for the Nuke program. He plans on leaving in January, after his 19th Birthday, and his grandparents 50th wedding anniversary.

We are not commenting on facebook yet as we are telling the family personally.

As Cbid has been a part of our family for such a long time, we wanted to share here too.

He is our youngest, and only offspring still at home.

Stand Navy out to sea

Fight our battle cry:

We'll never change our course

So vicious foes steer shy-y-y-y

Roll out the T. N. T.

Anchors Aweigh

Sail on to victory

And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!

Anchors Aweigh my boys

Anchors Aweigh

Farewell to foreign shores

We sail at break of day 'ay 'ay 'ay

Through our last night ashore

Drink to the foam

Until we meet once more

Here's wishing you a happy voyage home!

Blue of the Mighty Deep

Gold of God’s great Sun

Let these our colors be

Till all of time be done

By Severn Shore we learn

Navy’s stern call

Faith, Courage, Service True

With Honor Over, Honor Over All.

You jackass, that's the only location for boot camp... since... a long damn time ago!

Edit: From the recruit training command website - In 1993 -- in the wake of the drawdown after Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm -- the Base Realignment and Closure commission decided to shut down Naval Training Center Orlando and NTC San Diego.

He got 99/99 on his ASVAB, and while talking to one of the Nukes at the center today, found out his score was 15 points higher on his aptitude test than some of them.

He is a smart cookie, and I'm very glad to see him using it.
