That is so great! I bet you are proud and meaningfully so.
My Grandfather was class of '44 active duty for 27 years and my father was NROTC in college and in for 22 years. I have a 14yo son who has his heart set on following his Grandfather, NROTC at the same college. He broke his lower leg in the final freshman football game of the season last weekend and had a titanium rod put in the bone. The pediatric sports trauma orthopedic surgeon said his leg will be stronger than ever and not impact playing sports moving forward. His first question during prep was if it would affect his dream to join the Navy. When we left the hospital he was wearing one of his Navy sweatshirts..... |

Most importantly, that surgery has improved immensely since then. My regular Dentist had the same and we chat all the time about how much better it is now. Looks like my son will have the same. We begin appointments in January. Having you both there will be so great for her. I cannot express enough how much it'll relieve her having your support the first few days. You are all blessed, no question. Please message me if I can assist in any way. GO NAVY!!

Both of you....Thank you! Don, Just wow! You were in a world of hurt sir! Upper and lower at the same time, both sides. I have a brother in law that has had that too. His kids also went through it. Emma looks right now like Sandy the squirrel from Sponge Bob Square Pants.  And OH MY, Cranky does not describe how she is feeling. Not for the faint of heart to be around right now!

She already had it? Ah, got it.
Is she wired shut at all? Can she open? mmm, Ensure...yum......NOT! Oh yeah, Sandy is a Bad ASS! She's from Texas! There's worse to be compared to. Ha! And our own Sandy, aka Crusty Chief, is also quite the BA.

Do all USN Academy grads exit as LT's? Well, regardless of rank, congrats to the new ring knocker and may she heal rapidly and well!

And one more round of well wishes from me. Her willingness to serve is a wonderful thing, and I’m sure she will leave big tracks in life. Thanks are due to you as well for providing the framework for such a squared away young lady to emerge from.
We expect graduation pics... praying you get to attend by then.

Post graduation update.
Our seats at graduation.  It's official. The diploma.  Family photo.  Headed up to shake Kamala Harris's hand and receive her diploma.  New Einsign's Covers with new cover bags. The wings were presented to Emma by her flight mentor. (Romeo pilot)

The key to flight school is to be ready for every flight: It is like taking a driver test at the DMV everyday! Just so cool.

There is no uniform on earth that looks as good as USN dress whites, IMO. It makes people look like royalty, but in an American way, of course.
