We returned exhausted but blessed from Great Lakes. Only had our sailor for a few hours then it was off to "A" school in Gulfport. Seemed like the same basic ceremony I went through 30 years ago. Hard to hold back the tears.
Another son has applied for OCS and is also working through the enlistment process in case application is rejected. So we may soon be taking another "graduation vacation!"
Mom, Dad, & Brother's could not be more proud
