USN Red Raider Rides Again

OK, of course I can not let Kevin have the final say. I think he feels we are still in freshman study hall and he is charge. I say not! Anyway, I promised to load pictures of the family and I did. Kathleen continues to be in disbelief that I could father such handsome boys well I guess not, uh? Seriously, my boys are so much fun they remind me a lot of ME, handsome, good-looking, funny, good-looking, smart, good-looking, I know I repeated myself but when it is the truth it is easy to say. Seriously, Anthony JR. is 6 and in the first grade. Joshua is 3 and in pre-school. They are into the same things I am sure everyone else's kids are into: basketball, swimming and soccer. Believe it or not I can actually swim now. It only took me 20 years to learn. But as for soccer, I recall Derek & Trent asked me to play intramural soccer once. But for some reason they never asked me to play again. I guess my talent exceeded their expectations. I am grateful that Anthony JR wants to do track and field which is right up my alley. My lovely wife and I would have been married for 8 years come January 6, 2009. It has been fun and definitely good for me. As for me, all is well. I work for Alion Science and Technology supporting PMS 501 LCS Program Office as the Science and Technology Manager for LCS 1 and LCS 2. It is a lot of work but really rewarding to have seen LCS 1 get underway. I am still in the Navy Reserves. I am currently the Commanding Officer for COMPHIBRON 3 DET 310. We support COMPHIBRON 3 embarked on the USS Peleliu homeported in San Diego. However, I fly to Pensacola, FL once a month for my weekend drill. I still have not been able to figure that out? I was recently selected for CDR, as was my good friend Trent, which is again truly a blessing from God for me. So there is a chance something good could come out of Lubbock. Speaking of Lubbock, since the football team is doing so well I enjoy wearing all my TTU paraphernalia. With that being said we need to consider making another trip back to Lubbock? I missed the last once because my wife once due with Joshua. It would be good to see everyone again. Alright, I'll close and say I hope & pray everyone is in good health and doing well. Write back soon,by the way have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING.......Tony
