He's a Sailor now!

Yes, We're back and Nathanael is an official U.S. Sailor. The graduation was really neat. So much concentration and discipline goes into it. If you don't pay attention and keep very focused-well- you may find yourself 2 steps ahead or behind the rest! Hannah took a lot of pics of the actual graduation and I'll probably post a couple later. Nathanael was very tired, somewhat numb to emotion, but glad to have us all there. Becky was with us, too. Somehow, I don't think you could have hog tied her to keep her away! He will move into his room at school on Tues. All his schooling is self paced so he may be able to finish a lot sooner than the 18 months alloted. We're hoping he gets to make it home for the Wedding! He received 2 promotions while in boot camp so he is now an E3 and said he will probably become a Petty Officer before to long. He had a lot of fun telling us how it was and showing (especially Dad!) how the workout went! We enjoyed it all!! We did take the train (which he will get to know the routes real well since he can't have a car while he's there)into Chicago and went to the Sears Tower. Pretty spectacular view. We went to service on Base with him and got to experience the service there. It was all a very different life for him. He's glad it's over!
