Just heard from him today
:-)
He is fallowing in my footsteps and starting his tour in the Navy. I know mail was what kept me going in basic training, so if you want to drop him a line to tell him you're thankful for his service:
SR Montano, Nicholas A.
Ship 11 Division 284
RTC 3505 Sailor Drive
Great Lakes, IL. 60088-3505
I get all choked up inside when I think about him !!

What does he want to do while there? My good friend started in IL, then moved to NY, Charleston, Conn, etc. He was on craft carriers+ subs, and now is in Michigan recruiting, but has engineering exp with nuclear based craft. Godspeed in his ventures!

Bravo Zulu to Nicholas and you, Nick! If you get a chance, go see him graduate (damn the cost, full speed ahead!). One of my proudest moments was watching my youngest daughter graduate from Navy boot camp.

I've had experience with the Shore Patrol; they used to drag me out of bars.
