TJ enlisted in the NAVY this last week. He took the ASVABS this week at Fort Snelling and tested out very high. The field he has is looking into is Rescue Diver. Think the movie The Guardian with Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher. All he needs to attain this goal is a physical test. I don't think that should be a problem for a life long athlete. However, he has let himself go... a little. So, he is off to the gym everyday running, swimming, lifting etc. LOTS OF SWIMMING!
TJ will head off to basic in March or at the latest June. There is only one Basic Training facility and that is on the shores of Lake Michigan near Chicago.
We are very proud of TJ

Suz - when TJ is around, go to this site, on the left is a play list. Pull up "In the Navy" and tell him his grandfather has been doing his best disco moves to this song. The words are below....just in case you can't make them out. :)
YAY TJ - We're PROUD of you!!!

Village People In the Navy Lyrics:
IN THE NAVY
Where can you find pleasure, search
the world for treasure,
learn science, technology?
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
on the land or on the sea?
Where can you learn to fly, play in sports or skindive,
study oceanography?
Sign up for the big band or sit in the grand stand
when your team and others meet.
In the Navy, yes, you can sail the seven seas.
In the Navy, yes, you can put your mind at ease.
In the Navy, come on now people, make a stand.
In the Navy, can't you see we need a hand.
In the Navy, come on, protect the motherland.
In the Navy, come on and join your fellow, man.
In the Navy, come on, people, and make a stand.
In the Navy, in the Navy.

They want you! They want you! They
want you as a new recruit!
If you like adventure don't you wait to enter
the recruiting office fast.
Don't you hesitate, there is no need to wait;
they're signing up new seamen fast.
Maybe you are too young to join up today
but don't you worry 'bout the thing
for I'm sure there will be always the good Navy
protecting the land and sea.
In the Navy...
They want you! They want you! They
want you as a new recruit!
They want you! They want you! They
want you as a new recruit!
..But..but..but I'm afraid of water!
..hey..hey..look, men...
I get seasick even watching it on the TV!
They want You! - Oh my goodness!
They want you! - What am I gonna do in a submarine?
They want you! They want you!
In the Navy.
