<p>I read somewhere else that the change of command will happen around June 8. After Commissioning of the class of 2007 and before the class of 2011 comes on-board. A friend of my husband’s served with ADM Fowler and thinks a good guy and will do good things for Navy</p>

Donuts are only served on Sunday mornings during Plebe Summer. However, tonight they had an ice cream social marking the resumption of classes after Spring Break! :)</p>
