Sleepy

I am currently working on 3 hours of sleep, had duty yesterday, stood 12 hours of watch. So today has been a long day. My big day is September 17, @ o700, that is when I take my test for petty officer 3rd class, So I can hurry up and become MN3 on the fast track to success. I am currently working on getting my esws completed sometime at the end of the year.

The other day i was on here, looking through some of my aunts old blogs, and came across one she did of my dad, now retired, he was PSC (SW), he had a very distinguished career, all of his co-workers i met praised his work, i had met his commanding officers/executive officers several times and had only the same to say, he has always been a stand up sailor with a can do attitude, and even now, being retired, he still holds the same mindset of his junior sailors, ensuring the best for them. I have always been very proud of his many accomplishments and dedication. He has always said that he was proud of me, and that i would exceed at anything i do. The day i graduated bootcamp, he looked in my eyes and told me how proud he was and i was going to exceed/excell better than he did, well chief thats only cause i have learned from the best. I only hope that i can be half the sailor he was/is.
