We're transitioning to the Reserves

We've been so busy lately, I don't know what I've posted and what I haven't. I am not sure I've explained the whole Reserve situation, but we've been waiting word on whether Jack would be accepted into the program. His squadron selected him almost immedietely after he returned home from his deployment. However, come to find out, that was only the first step of another long process. I am not sure why that surprised us because the Navy seems to do everything slow. It turns out, after the squadron selects you, the "Big Navy" has to approve that decision. We got word last week that the board approved it, but then found out that it needed to be signed off by an even higher ranking position. We started to worry then, because this is the step similar to when his promotion got denied. It took nearly a week to find out that Jack was officially going to be able to transition to the Reserves. We were very happy since we can still have Tricare. We'll have to apply again next year if Jack isn't promoted (which we aren't expecting that he will be), but one year is better than none.
