Brandon has been accepted to "IT" Conversion!!!

The news is finally in! The Navy today accepted Brandon's request to convert from "STG" (Sonar Technician) to "IT" (Information Technician)! He has to complete his tour on his ship as an STG until the ship is decommissioned later this summer, after which he will fly to Great Lakes, Ill. to attend schooling for about 3-4 months. After that he will be up for orders to just about any location in the world so we have no idea where we will be living one year from now. Basically a 'conversion' is the equivelant of a 'career change' in the civilian world and his new job, "IT", will entail working with satellite communications, PC's, networks, and similar things that he was doing prior to joining the Navy and should offer him training and experience that will convert much more easily into a civilian job later in life. We are both excited and nervous about the new changes we are about to confront!
