Graduation Day

Today was the last day of my NPS experience . . . they actually graduated me! No more 20 page papers or ridiculously huge reading assignments, at least for the time being . . . It was a beautiful day in Monterey -- sunny and 70 --which was the perfect way to close out the first phase of my training here. Next is French language training at the Defense Language Institute, also here in Monterey. But not until the end of July.

Until then Laurie and I will be enjoy a few trips to relax and spend sometime with friends, family, and each other. Between Laurie's travel and my studying, we haven't seen a whole lot of each other over the past year. Hopefully this post finds everyone doing well and we look forward to hearing from you.

Au revoir!
