<p>I think it would only be common courtesy to contact the BGO for the presentation. My daughter’s BGO was very appreciative of the request but was not able to make it for the ceremonies due to the travel time and distance. He contacted a Lieutenant Commander at Naval Base Newport who made the presentation. Whites under the stained glass in the Chapel really stood out. One of the juniors thought it was so cool he applied and is now class of 2012. He only messed up once at reunion after his plebe year and called her “mam” once.</p>
