Today is Daddy's big day. He reports for his first day of duty with the Navy. His orders are to serve full-time for 400 days. We actually went with him this morning (EARLY - 5AM!) to get paperwork done but in true military fashion, the girl who was supposed to take care of the rest of our paperwork was out sick so we have to go back...again. So, we kissed Daddy a good first day and then off he went to work. We drove home.
Daddy is home for the weekend with family friends over to visit. Then on Monday, we take Daddy to the airport where he will go down to Pt. Magoo in California. He'll be there a week.
We are very proud of Daddy. He looked very good this morning in his Navy uniform and while on base, all the Navy personnel were very polite and calling Daddy, "Chief". Thank you Daddy for all that you do. We love you.
