T-Track
Hi again. Well today was my first day on T-Track, and well it has it Pro's and Con's. Pro's: No stress, I get out after at the most 8 hours (that is including my 1 + hour for lunch), I don't have to sit in a class room all day. Now for the Con's: I worked with some idiots today, I cleaned all day, and I had to dig through trash for an hour to make sure there was no pop cans or white paper in the normal trash. Over all I think I will like T-Track, that no stress part is a big plus.
On Friday we had our graduation, I have some good news and some bad. I'll start with the bad, I missed graduating with distinction by 3.75 points out of a total possible 1540, about as close as you can get without actually getting the recognition, now for the good news: I was awarded the Commanding Officer's "Personal Excellence Award" for my class. Basically it is awarded to the "The Student in each class who has exhibited the greatest degree of professionalism". I received a letter signed by the Captain of NNPTC and a Coin. As far as I can tell coins in the Navy are almost a badge of honor so to speak, I think that when a group of shipmates that goes out drinking the one with the best coin drinks on the other guys or something.
On a side note, I am starting to consider maybe butting in a officer packet, basically a resume of such to a board that selects people to go from enlisted to officer. I'm kinda wishy - washy on that though, so I don't think I will, but I am starting to think about it. I'll have to talk with Lisa more about that.
Today is the first day that on my base the official uniform changed from Working Blues (winter) to working Whites (summer), needless to say Lisa was very excited (she likes my Whites better even though she has only seen them the hanger). I'll have her take some pictures when I wear them for the first time and post, may not be for a while because there will be no reason for me to wear them as long as I am taking out trash, so until I get put on a watch bill, utilities for me.
Lisa and I are very excited due to the fact that we are going to have our first visitors in our home in Goose Creek, SC. My mom and Ken are coming down around Easter and plan on making a stop by.
Well I gotta get going, early day tomorrow, PT at 0600.
