Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is where you can give a brief summery about yourself. I'd like to keep rate/rank out of this, so we all can talk semi-anonymously (I'm not one for rank pulling out of duty). So here's an example:

Hi! I'm Tom. I'm a Hospital Corpsmen currently stationed in Camp Lejeune, NC with the Marines. We're currently waiting word on when our deployment is, and it looks like either Afghanistan or Iraq. I enjoy some of those crazy sick call patients that make me feel like Dr. House sometimes (of course none of which I can say, with HIPA and all). Can't say I'm fond of the admin work though, mostly PHA's.

So, make forums and keep em' kosher! If you see something you're offended by, or you think is questionable, please let me know, and I'll deal with it ASAP. Thanks, and Welcome Aboard!

Hi I'm John. I am an Aviation Machinist Mate on the USS Theodore Roosevelt. I am happily married with a baby girl. My wife is also on Gaia. She is awesome and the reason why I am on here. We are originally from kissimmee, fl. I skateboard and love to hang out with my family.

Hi. I'm Jennifer. I'm a Navy vet. When I was in, we were still called WAVES. It changed to WINS when I was about half way through. I'm glad to see alot of barriers broken down now.

Any shipboard duty that I could have seen was limited to training carriers and tenders. rolleyes

I was a RM (Radioman), that rate doesn't exist in the Navy now. My son, and a daughter of my heart are in the Navy now. My son is a Nuke MM, and my domh is AM - I think that's the rate designation - Aviation Mechanic. She's stationed in HI, he's in SC still in training. He's planning on going sub rather than surface fleet. Not sure I like that, but it's his choice.

I met my husband in England, he was a RM also, but had to change to CT to finish up his tour in England rather than go to sea for the last couple of months he was in. I don't think CT's are around any more either. I think RM, DP and CT have all been combined, but I'm not sure what the rate is now. All three of the rates dealt with communications.

My son is currently in SC doing the nuke thing. He's in prototype right now. He might be tapped for ELT training. I don't think he really wants it, but that's life.

He's an MM. He has also be recommended to be an instructor for MM A school.

We are very proud of him.

hi!! im a soon to be navy wife. I recently just visit my fiance in sasebo (japan)
it was the best visit in my life. the reason were not rushing into marriage so I can be with him sooner is because he is only going to be stationed in japan for 4 more months. after that he will be station in san diego (california) than we will be able to be together.

this guild is beast cool

I graduated from camp johnson back in march, and I'm here at lejeune. My step brother, who's a marine, should be there at johnson in oct, but I'm sure you'll be gone before that. If you end up still here, or are, hit me up! Who're your instructors anyway?
