Thanks Leah for the picture above! I look pretty serious...For the next six months I'll be studying at the Armed Forces School of Music. Here's my new address:
SN Brown, Jennifer, USN
School of Music
1420 Gator Blvd
Norfolk, VA 23521-2617
My phone number is still my cell from San Diego, but I don't have it here yet (on it's way, right Matt?)
We are on Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base, and the Navy runs the school, however it is overrun my Marines and Army personnel. I'm learning the ranks quickly! There are only four Navy women in the program, and four oboists between the three branches. I'm in good company. Sadly there are no bassoon students, but the instructor told me today she'll play quintets if we are good enough. I have an incoming audition next Thursday, and run the initial PFA tomorrow at 0515. Early! The 3 other MU's from my recruit division and I will be waiting a few weeks for the next class to begin. We have small lakes, a beach, golf, bowling, and boating on base, but I haven't seen much besides the school and the NEX. Our barracks are great, with one roommate, en suite bathrooms, A/C and beds not racks! Very nice. I will be online once a day, so email is back up and running. Talk to you soon! Love, Seaman Brown

So glad you've settled there all right - sounds like life is normalizing... But 5:15 PRTs??? Luckily, you're up to it. Do you get oboe lessons yet??
Well, actually it's yo mamma.
Hi! I was just checking in to make sure I got your new address right for the SAI yearbook directory, and I enjoyed reading about what you're up to. We miss you, and Pandora read your letter at the last meeting. :) Did you get the last newsletter? Email me - laurajunewilliams@hotmail.com.
