My son graduated in 2004, was winged in 2006, has been on one deployment, and was recently selected for Test Pilot School- yes they take NFO's! It's been an exciting and sometimes emotional few years.

THE WINGING WAS AMAZING! What a great ceremony to honor these 11 fine aviators! I will be posting some pictures tomorrow night :-) Can you tell that we are absolutely thrilled for her :-) We got her a set of 14k gold NFO wings for a family gift, and she was absolutely over the moon. Can't wait to get my pictures posted!

Hi all! We're leaving Sacramento today, heading to Jacksonville for Tracy's winging on Friday! Can't wait for this great event! She'll be heading to Whidbey Island for 3 years, so we'll finally have her on the West Coast after almost 4 years active duty so far :-) Pictures to follow!!!

Got home last week from Pensacola....my Ensign son got married. Beautiful ceremony on a pier in Pensacola Beach. Will be having a larger, traditional ceremony here at home next summer. They were high school sweethearts. Was so nice to see my son....he's been down there since early April. He's now waiting for Primary to start.

Heading for VA Beach tomorrow to see our Navy kids. Will update photos when I return. Get to see the beach and of course experience Navy life again. Living in CO seems so far from what he is experiencing. Talk to you all soon.
