This week has been a long one. My husband was selected for Chief in the Navy on his first go around. If anyone knows military, that's a big deal. I am so proud of him. We had a Chiefs family meet and greet and everyone was so nice and welcoming. He is the youngest selectee on his ship and I'm pretty sure I'll be the youngest Chiefs wife (he's 28 and I'm 24). I like that they include the spouses on things. I have a Chief's wife dinner to go to pretty soon, a symposium on Chiefs wife etiquette, and I can not wait to pin him in 6 weeks. The training is brutal and he constantly has projects to do, but I know by the time they're all done he's going to be a better man and an honorable Chief because of it.
