LOOK OUT COMMUNITY PRESBYTERIAN
BABY BRYCE has arrived! Today was Bryce's first day of 3year old pre-school. He is going to the same school Alec did and even has the same teacher, Mrs. Young. We love her, I'm praying she still loves us after a few hours with Bryce. She has assured me the kids are different for her. Yesterday we visited the school so Bryce could check out his classroom and the playground. Within minutes he was letting the other kids know what STAR WARS character they would be for the day. He will be going on Tuesday's and Thursday. I snapped a couple of photos and ran as fast I could. These couple of hours are a much welcomed break.

19,588 applicants, 3500 selected and Aaron is one of them!!!
I have attached a great article that explains the Chief Petty Officer Selectee process. I had know idea until Aaron was well into the fight. The Navy emailed me a 60 page PDF document titled Guidelines for the Spouses Wife. He has two sponsors that have reached out to me as well as their wives. Like I said we had know idea. They wanted me to know what to expect from Aaron over the next few months; basically he would be tired, irritable and it would be rare for me to hear from him.
Aaron spends his time away from his normal job (the mission), working on CPO Selectee obligations. Sleep is rare. It doesn't matter that he is deployed. The entire United Sates Navy selectees go through the same steps and process at the same time.
A message from Aaron:
Five weeks down, six to go. The pace is mind numbing. The ‘training’ is like trying to get a drink of water from a fire hydrant! I had no idea the tradition and history involved. I will not be the same person when this is over. According to our instructors this will never be over. The induction is the easy part. Once we earn our anchor and are genuine Chief the adventure truly begins, the mentoring and growing of the junior enlisted will be placed firmly on our shoulders
