Commissioning Recap

We had a grand time! Supe’s garden party (fabulous food and garden); Blue Angels practice, Blue Angels air show, Blue Angels flyover at graduation; lovely parties and dinners; emptying the storage facility the mid/ensign had for over three years and sorting out what went in cruise boxes/car/thrift store/trash; color parade; awards ceremony; more parties; great weather; commissioning with a memorable and moving speech by the President of the United States AND he shook hands with all 1,030 grads! It was such an extraordinary and great experience!

Would love to hear stories about your graduation experiences by Class of 2009 parents/grads from all SAs! Did everyone buy swords for their grads? How about the Insignia Box? Did you stay in rented houses or hotels? I understand that the USMMA Kings Point graduation is scheduled for June 22. Who will be the guest speaker?

Recommendations for those who will have cadets/midshipmen graduating next year?
