Anchors Aweigh

And away we go!
At 0530 on July 23rd I will be processed, examined, poked and prodded at MEPS, and then stay at a hotel here in SD. Then early the next day I fly to Chicago and begin 9 weeks of Basic Training at Great Lakes Naval Training Center.

Then in October I'll go to Armed Forces Music School in Little Creek, Virginia.

Kind of strange, I'll be following the same path as where we lived as kids (IL-VA). Then after up to six months of music school, who knows???

If you are local, come to my folks house for the send-off party on
Sunday, July 22nd 5-9pm.
Stop by for as long as you like,
at least to say goodbye and a hug!

I will only have snail mail privileges at boot camp, so get your pen pal skills up and running. The address will be posted here.
