Days after we got back from our visit to the United States Tyler had a engineering exam that he had to take in order to get his professional engineering licence. Passing this test allows him to work on his own as an engineer if he wishes (instead of under another engineer, he was what is called an engineer in training up until this point) and also will help him with advancement in rank in his Navy career. It was crazy timing because it was literally a few days after we got back from the States and he was jet lagged and hardly slept at all the few days before the test. This is a nasty test; think four hours followed by a one hour break and then four more hours for a total of eight hours of testing. And it's hard. When Tyler took his fundamentals of engineering exam he saw people literally bringing in a suitcase full of reference materials (you're allowed to bring in reference material). Needless to say, we were a little intimidated. But he took the test and felt he did well on it so we were hopeful. Turns out all his hard work, studying and reference materials purchased paid off! He checked his email this morning and found out that he did in fact pass his professional engineering exam!!!!!! I feel like I should bake him a cake or something (except he doesn't really like cake...) ;) we definitely have some celebrating to do!
CONGRATULATIONS TYLER!!! Wish we could celebrate with you guys! Rylee, take it easy and don't over-do things...little one needs to bake as long as possible. It won't be long now tho'! Thanks for sharing all of the updates and info :)
