Hey everyone, sorry I've been absent for the past two weeks. It's been a crazy time, haha.

Well, I graduated my final class that I needed to, and as I was waiting on learning which Submarine I was to serve on, Medical called me in. They recieved a red flag in my last blood test, and wanted to run some more blood tests.

Turns out, my iron count is extremely low, which is a sign of anemia. Unfortunately, anemia is a disqualifying factor of submarines.

Good news is though, I'm still able to serve on the surface fleet. So I'm actually in the process of packing everything and moving to Norfolk, Virginia where my next and final command is. I'm stationed on the LSD 50 Carter Hall, where I'll be serving with Air Force, Marines and the Navy.

I leave Monday for a 10 day Leave period, then on the 20th I report to the Ship, where we'll most likely go on an underway. If I'm able to visit, I'll let you know how it's going, but for now, I'll be unavailable. Thanks everyone, I hope to see you soon. Take care guys.
