Sharing the Joy
Feb. 14th, 2009 05:09 pmOn Friday Josh re-enlisted for another 4 years, which means at the end of this enlistment period he'll have 20 years in for full retirement. Thank the Gods!
We had a lovely little ritual just after dawn near the base with a few friends. JoJo, as an MP, was able to get us access to a field with two planes (Prowler & Intruder). The former being Josh's favorite plane he's worked on professionally. The Lt. Commander, who is the MMCO for the USS Abraham Lincoln, who presided and gave the Oath is someone Josh highly respects and was honored to swear in an NCO. Granted, it helps the Lt. Commander's stats to retain an NCO of Josh's years of service. :)
I hope everyone has as much to celebrate today as we do!
