So I think the time has come to close this chapter. I know I promised a pic with 3/C shoulder boards in place however DS is lacking in his selfie game and is well immersed into Block 1 training.
For the Parents of '26---the ride will be rough, fast, slow, fantastic, enjoyable, frightening, etc. but remember you are on one track and your DS/DD is on another somewhat parallel track. You ride your train and let them ride theirs. We are here to help, you can do this as we all have done before.
Go NAVY!
