<p>The New England weather finally broke as the thunderstorms and lightening ended to allow the would-be Cadets, the swab Class of 2016, to take the Coast Guard oath on the parade grounds at the academy. Yesterday was a great day for the swabs and their families. No one even complained when the CG Officer whom recited the oath to the swabs momentarily forgot a very critical lline in the oath; " I do." LOL.</p>
