Questions about DEP are most defiantly welcome.
A question that you have may be a question that someone else has

Our Children Are Our Future!
Airfares are outregous for the holidays plus airport security will probably be a nightmare too. I'm mentally prepared for Nick to miss the holidays with us because of his orders but we will have to see what happens. Just met one of our Navy moms for coffee...our sons went to the same school (different times) and she lives about a mile down the road, he is FC too...small world. Why don't you live closer?!!!
It is easiest to group the enlisted ranks into three groups of three. E1-E3: seaman ranks, E4-E6: petty officers, E7-E9: chief ranks. The letters "CTT" tell others what my job is: cryptologic technician (technical). The 1 means that I am a First Class Petty Officer. From E1 to E9 the abbreviations are as follows: SR SA SN 3 2 1 C CS CM, and of course, the MCPON: master chief petty officer of the navy.
So when Matt gets his "crow" he will be ST3 - which tells the world that he is Sonar Tech, 3rd class!
Crow is when he become a petty officer, which is a great thing and more money. Sounds like he might be an E3 right now and then when he becomes he E4 - that is petty officer, 3rd class. Some rates get advancement faster, or based on completing their schooling. Nick's contract calls from him to move to PO after six months as an E3 so by summer he should have it as well. Does Matt come home for the holidays - Nick had planned on taking leave then but everything is pending his orders right now. They told him he may stay in GL until leave and then go from here to VA. Or they may send him to VA now and then he can home for the holidays from there. His hard copy orders and travel arrangements are not made yet. I'm sure he will get to come home for a few days no matter how they do his orders.
