Welcome SCPOUSN (what does that stand for) The best place for solicited advice is to scroll down to the appropriate forum on this site. Take your time, look around and read some of the other threads, others have done what you intend to do. Good luck.

Checked my DICNAVAB for SCPOUSN, Senior Chief Petty Officer United States Navy. I really didn't check, I just like saying DICNAVAB!
