First, I want to start off by saying thank you to all of you who keep Josh in your prayers.
Josh is doing very well. Tired, but he's doing well. He is in the midst of studying for his next achievement pin, referred to as EXW. He has one achievement pin already from when he was stationed on the ship, but that is a different "segment" of the Navy, so now he gets to try for this new pin. It's basically a series of tests and then a verbal test given by a board of chiefs and officers from his command. He has taken the written tests and passed with no problems. He has taken his practice verbal boards and did very well with those as well. Now, he's just waiting for the real board and I am certain he will do really well. As now an E6, he is taking on more responsibilities which are stressful but he's dealing with it. We are counting down the days to what we think will be his homecoming. It's not a definite date yet, but we think we know the month...so we're counting down to that. We are ready to have him home.
