Congratulations John



Good afternoon. I just got a call from my son John. John called me to tell me that he had a great day today on his Ship. He was awarded the Navy Achievement Medal today for the Battle E that his ship got.

Yesterday they ( his Ship ) had a picnic and John played Chess for a while. He said that the CO and XO came over to watch him and that the XO challenged him to a game when they got underway next time.

So far John has:

*National Defense Service Medal
*War on Terrorism Service Medal
*Marksmanship ribbon
*Battle E
*Navy Achievement Medal

Congratulations and good job John.

I haven't heard from my daughter Cindy but I am sure that she is doing great in CIWS C-School in San Diego. Cindy will be going to the fleet sometime in July.

We are very proud of both of our kids in the Navy.

Hi Cookie, Thanks. I told John A. what you said. He was really excited to get the Navy Achievement Medal. :) He really does seem to be doing well in the Navy. I will have to have Vicki read the acrobatic skills comment. She has been sick for a few weeks now. Take care. John
