(got picture of my nephews from my sister)
Big plans ahead for Nate and Ian. Nate was home for weekend in Maryland. Not long ago Nate was on the ship for long weeks with Coast Guard training. Ian had a long weeks waiting for all kind of approves to have an okay to leave for China.
I copied my sister's words below.
Ian leaves on Friday, 10/3 in the morning to fly to China via LAX. He will spend a year there teaching English to Chinese children in an evening school. He is quite looking forward to the trip and this past week has been a whirlwind of festivities as he is madly dashing about seeing everyone before he leaves. He finally acquired his visa on Friday, thankfully.
Nate returns to Miami on Monday and will be going on a different cutter with a different crew, in order to take his boards to show mastery of his requirements, and stand watch. He will end up in Baltimore again -at the nearby Glen Burnie Coast Guard base, where he will stand guard and do duties with them, for some of the time that the cutter is there undergoing repairs.
Best luck to both boys' dreams to complete the goals!
Ian, have a safe flight to China!
Boys, Keep in contact with us here!
XOXO,
Uncle Mo, Aunt Jennifer and Grandpa
