I spent thirty years as the spouse of a USN Submariner and the parent of four amazing children. I have also have a Masters degree in Education and I am working on a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have spent the last twenty eight years working with children across the military and civilian sector. This blog follows part of our journey as a US Navy family and moves with us to civilian life. My experiences have taught me a lot about marriage, parenting and friendship.

Its Not About the Title
I have some catching up to do around here. After all a mission, Sub Ball, and promotion have come and gone since I last wrote.
My husband has had a very blessed naval career born out of his commitment to the Navy and to holding himself to even higher standards than he holds those around him to. He was blessed to make both Chief and Senior Chief the first time he was eligible. Master Chief however, took a little longer and required a trip to Guam. Each year since the first time he was eligible we would wait for results to come out, deal with it and move on. This year however, he was selected and promoted to Master Chief.



Now, don't get me wrong, his chest puffs out a little bit each time someone addresses him as Master Chief, but the real prize is that he set a goal in the beginning of his naval career that he has achieved. He worked and sacrificed to reach that goal...that is what its about.
