Our Navy Life

Today was a very big Navy Day! First of all, it was the change of command ceremony for the USS Lake Erie, which means they are saying goodbye to their captain and hello to a new captain. It is a very huge ceremony.

Darrick with old capt. and XO (and Jacob)

Second, today is the 115th Birthday of the making of Chiefs in the Navy.
Command Master Chief


Third, today Darrick re-enlisted in the Navy for 6 more years. After the change of command ceremony they had a huge reception on the flight deck. And at the beginning of the reception Darrick received an honorable discharge from the XO and then he re-enlisted from the old captain. They even gave awards to the boys and I for supporting Darrick.


When he is finshed with this 6 years he will be at 18 1/2 years-almost done! Darrick was also invited to cut the Chief birthday cake with the Command Master Chief and old captain.




This past weekend Darrick and I attended out first Navy Dine Out. Beth and Oscar took the boys overnight. We had a really nice time!
