]Wow that is wonderful - the only worry now - is if they deploy her

**sigh** yes, i know. BUT she is assigned to Bremerton for at least another year and a half. THEN she has to be either on a ship or at a foreign base for two years. her roommate is going to base security in Italy in August. **TTBOMK* Navy MA's do base security at Navy bases - so that should eliminate a lot of the high-profile targets. it won't, however keep her out of all harm's way.

i keep remembering when she took her MA final scenario exams. and i asked her how she did. and she said, "I only died twice." and i got a tad bit upset. and she very calmly said, "Mom, sometimes, when you do it RIGHT, that's what happens. It goes with the job."

luckily, she is 1) a crack shot; 2) VERY aware of things going on around her [i'd swear she had better than peripheral vision]; and 3) VERY, very well trained and "into" all phases of her job.

but i'm a mom. i'll always worry. luckily, she doesn't wear her "oh-shoot-me-now-whites" when on duty.

Vicki,

I hope all this mess in the middle east is over before she gets shipped out of the U.S!

thanks, ME, TOO!!!!!

because she always does so well with "snap inspections" and such, her odds are being able to pick - at least from within a few choices. but standing guard at a gate in Italy has the potential for being just as deadly as standing guard at a gate in Kuwait or anywhere else we have Navy base. **sigh**

what she is looking toward is being a CHIEF petty officer - or OCS.

That's so funny - I can't imagine calling my mother to tell her I got my gun back. (Yes, I know it's a totally different thing)

Reminds me of when I drove to Canada - the customs fellow in the Canadian side always told me that I would have to leave my guns in the US. He used to look at me oddly whenever I would insist that I have no guns. The border patrol people at that particular station were under the belief that all Americans have guns in their homes. (We don't have any guns, and never have)

But please give Jaime my congratulations on her promotion and on getting her gun back. I sincerely hope she never, ever needs to use it, outside the firing range.
