He said his RDC'S are cool as HECK!!! He said he may want to be an RDC one day... Who would have thought!!!!! He also said he took his pictures, but not sure how they turned out..I am sure they are VERY NICE.... and he will look HANDSOME!!!! As will all of our SR's will look... He also mentioned that the SR's leaving for A School in Pensacola will most likely leave on Saturday... but he said that could change he has to wait for his orders....

So today I had to pick up my sister in law from the air port she was flying in from Chicago O Hara. When she got off a group of recent sailor graduates followed her. They all were wearing there dress whites. This made me miss my husband like crazy, but I had to remind my self its only 13 more days till I get to see him all dressed up in his dress whites and I was able to show my son what his daddy will be dressed in when we see him. I cant wait!!
