TJ is now 20 . . . . He's spent a bit over 2 years in Navy Nuclear
schools, and reported to Pearl Harbor last year in late September for
his first assignment on the USS Key West, a fast attack nuclear
submarine. That was the last time I saw him-it's been a year now. . . .
he's a nuclear electrician on the sub-he keeps the reactor safe
and operational, and come December 7th, will be halfway through his six
year enlistment. He's a second class petty officer. He plans to
re-enlist, but hasn't done so yet. . . . He has also
applied to be picked up for STA-21, which is the enlisted to officer
program. He says that if he gets in, great, if he doesn't, well, he
could earn more money in civilian life anyway.
