My grand-nephew graduates from Boot Camp
My nephew's son joined the US Coast Guard in September. He will graduate from boot camp tomorrow.

Here's a photo of Mike (on the left)...

Quote:
ARLINGTON, Va.- Coast Guard Recruit Companies Sierra 185 and Tango 185 pass out American flags during the annual Flags Across America event at Arlington National Cemetery, Saturday, November 5, 2011. The recruit companies visited Arlington National Cemetery for their one day of off-base liberty, which is their only break in an eight-week boot camp at the Coast Guard's Training Center in Cape May, N.J. (U.S. Coast Guard Photo by Petty Officer 2nd Class Etta Smith)

Coast Guard Recruits visit Arlington National Cemetery
Way to go Mike!

As of July, Mike's goal was to enter the U. S. Coast Guard: Rescue Swimmer Program




For now, I think he's off to Portsmouth VA and some time on a cutter.

Here's a shot of Mike, his brother Will, and my niece's two daughters, Rachel (left) and Morgan (right).
