I will be separating from the Navy after 15 years this fall.  Part of my search for new opportunities has been to apply for the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard Apprenticeship Program.  The program will provide benefits for myself and family including, education, healthcare, life insurance, and steady income.  I have been selected based off of my initial application to take the assessement exam to qualify for the interview process.  In order to take the assessment, I have to return to Hawaii for a few days.  The deadline for me to register for the assessment is tentatively the 15th of April.  Therein lies the problem, I'm asking YOU, my friends and family for a handout to cover expenses of flying and lodging in Hawaii to help solidify a successful future.  Thanks!!
