OK I have been some what absent from the board lately but I am now ready to return and thank everyone who helped me with advise (and other important things as well, BZ M1 and others)
I today recveived my officaial package in the mail with my Nuclear Equipment Technician offer in it!!!!!

I am excited to start!! (I know some of you old timers may find it corney but after twenty-three years in the canoe club I feel almost as excited as I was when I joined the Nav)
I have not been on much lately as I have all but finished up getting ready to retire but getting ready to sell my house and relocate has taken more time than I would like.
While I will not go into detail here let me say that with luck, help, a good attitude, and a little help I was able to get the job I wanted with the company I wanted at the site I wanted! All I can say is thanks and gee AINT AMERICA GREAT!!!
