Keeping up with our busy Navy lives....wherever we live :)

And so it begins.....

 Mike's new job is in FULL swing! He was gone the last seven days out on the boat during part of their work-up training exercises at sea that they perform prior to a deployment (one of many).
One week down.......50+ more to go......seriously :)
But on a lighter note, he is home now, a day here and there, a week here and there, and then deployment will be upon us before we know it. Luckily for the girls and I, summer hits at the same time so we will have swimming and friends to keep us occupied.
 
 First official work business cards.

 And just in case you were curious what Mike's new boss looks like......he is the one in the mustache!
Rear Admiral Mike Manazir. Receiving this award in the photo is the outgoing Aide who Mike is replacing. With only a week under his belt, Mike had great things to share about his experience....slightly different from those on previous cruises since he now shares some privileges that the Admiral receives (personal laundry service, and meals in the admirals private dining room, are just a few).
Next stop.....Italy and abroad for a week!! Should be quite the adventure.
