My youngest graduated as a Nuclear Machinists Mate in Charleston last year. After prototype school and ELT training he got assigned to his first boat. His new Home port... Joint Base Pearl.. I now have a reason to visit Hawaii. His next goal is Dolphins by July. Another 12 hrs of advanced chemistry and he will have a BS in Nuclear Chemistry. He’s thinking about a mustang track.
I had a mustang officer. Chief Warrant officer Kemp. Great guy. Ex-rag hat officers were fun. Coming through the ranks gives them some perspective. IMO. Tell him an old MM1(SS) hopes he does great. Regards
