Brad--
So you've joined the Navy too, eh? I shipped Jan 12th, so I missed all of this season due to boot camp. Right now I'm in Charleston, SC for my school.
You've made a great choice, joining up. I won't tell you it's easy, because it's not. Boot camp sucked. But when you're in there, keep your head up and your eyes on the goal. Once you've made it through the first couple days, you'll be fine.
My career hasn't been long (less than 4 months so far), but if you have any questions about boot camp or stuff like that, feel free to send me an IM at JakeTeam134 or Jake The Mike.
If not, that's cool too. Good luck out there, shipmate.
<Edit>
I forgot to mention, like tuba, I'm a nuke. I volunteered for submarines but don't know if I'll go down there. More than likely though
I'm not a mechanic like him, though. I 'm an electrician, so I get to play with wires and stuff >
What's your rate?
