He started his schooling in Great Lakes Illinois in July 2010 and was there for about a month before heading to Florida, which is where he has been ever since. It has been tough being separated from him for so long but luckily over the past year i have been able to fly out there for visits and he has come home several times.
Unfortunately, even though he has graduated, he still has a few more months of training ahead of him. He leaves for Georgia next week for about 3 weeks and then will be off to Mississippi for a few more weeks after that. He'll get to come back home around the second week of December and will take time off for the holidays and start the final leg of training in Coronado. I am beyond thrilled he'll be finishing up back here in California and won't have to leave again!
This morning he also had his re-enlistment ceremony. Price has been in the Navy for just about 6 years now and just signed on for 6 more years. This means we have 6 more years of military life! There are pros and cons to this. The obvious pros: job security, free medical care, constant paycheck, plus i think we'll get to stay in San Diego for at least that much longer...the cons: not always having Price home, deployments, missed birthdays/holidays/anniversaries, and the biggest con of all, the danger of his job. :(
Here is Price and a few of his buddies, Troy and Max. They will both be stationed in Virginia (i think :) ). I know he is going to miss these guys once they finish training and head their separate ways.
Thank you again to Melanie for keeping me updated on the ceremony and for all the pictures, and CONGRATULATIONS Price! I am so proud of you and your accomplishments!
Lots of Love and
Bunches of Hugs
XOXO Brogan Lee
