They still graduate in the same building but almost every other building is new!
We are in Virginia and hope to get up there for Graduation.

He'll be going to A school in Pensacola, FL so hopefully we will be able to see him from time to time and transition slowly into all of this. This is our first experience with the military so everything is completely foriegn to us. Can't wait to get the next letter or call from him.

I head out to Pensacola in the morning to inspect a new construction in an Alabama Shipyard.

We got a call from Matt today too. So good to hear from him! He sounded in good spirits and like himself! Making jokes about getting in trouble for EVERYTHING! Glad you heard from Ryan. I asked Matt if he was making any buddies and said they were all getting along great. Can't wait for 3/2.
