Title: Proud Uncle
Post by: fellinger on July 27, 2012, 01:04:08 PM: This weekend is a proud occasion for myself and my family. My niece, Jackie has made the difficult choice to defend our country by enlisting in the US Navy. Fresh out of high school this mild mannered 18 year old will set off for boot camp and A school, working in inteligence and potentially a secondary field. Her goal (at least now) is to return and complete nursing school while being in the Reserves. Although, she is kicking around active duty - my guess is she will accept that when they ask her to go to OCS...

She is at Fort Dix now in-processing and will be officially sworn-in as a US Navy sailor at 0830 Monday.

Congratulations Jackie! slt

And you say she has a start in nursing. that will show up and OCS is not out of her reach, and tell her to let it be Known In the Interview they will also give her in Boot Camp. Then she will be called LT.Jackie slt slt slt slt slt slt slt slt. God Speed Tight Sails. Bill SN First
