<p>Where are our USMMA grads headed? Do they attend additional training if they select Coast Guard, Navy, Army, or Air Force? What does commissioning week look like and has the guest speaker been announced? Jamzmom, you’re too funny–champagne fountain in the hotel room!</p>
<p>Hey Luigi, I remember in the 70’s-80’s when you could not even get a cocktail served in a restaurant in Virginia…we did not have “liquor by the drink.” We still don’t have bars in Virginia. I believe any place that has a “bar” has to have over 60% of their revenue from food sales…The Blue Laws in the Commonwealth of VA (just for you LFWB :D) are alive and well!</p>
<p>We had a grand time! Supe’s garden party (fabulous food and garden); Blue Angels practice, Blue Angels air show, Blue Angels flyover at graduation; lovely parties and dinners; emptying the storage facility the mid/ensign had for over three years and sorting out what went in cruise boxes/car/thrift store/trash; color parade; awards ceremony; more parties; great weather; commissioning with a memorable and moving speech by the President of the United States AND he shook hands with all 1,030 grads! It was such an extraordinary and great experience!</p>
<p>Would love to hear stories about your graduation experiences by Class of 2009 parents/grads from all SAs!</p>
