<p>Hey Boss, I was told that parents of cadre are allowed aboard for a one week trip. That sounds fabulous. I hope that you get the chance to sail on the Eagle yourself.</p>
<p>When we toured the ship in Newport and talked to the swabs - it seems that they thought we might have been cadre parents and were sorta cautious with us. I was amazed how quickly they learned the info at their tour posts. At that point they had been aboard only a few hours. </p>
<p>We didn’t get to meet the new captain, tho. I took a bunch of pictures of a guy who looked similar to him and later found out it was the OOD. :)</p>
