Today Nick graduates from bootcamp!  Exciting day for all of us!! We are so proud of him

Robert and I waiting patiently in the bleachers for the ceremony to begin

The building where the ceremony took place was HUGE!  I bet it was as long as a football field.. but I would have to ask Nick to be sure.

All of the recruits marched in according to their ship division.  It was impressive to see them all arriving.

You can see Nick in this photo.. and he was able to see us too - which was great!!!  He gave me one of those looks... "mom, I see you, don't make me smile, I wil get in trouble!"

Proud daddy!

Proud mommy!

Nick graduated from bootcamp as an E3.  This is due to his ROTC time in high school.  It usually takes 18+ months to obtain this rank.  Way to go Nick!!!
