The 1/C Midshipmen (The Best Class)
My mom is a blue-star mother now. In the military, if a mother has a son/daughter serving active duty, they get a blue-star banner. It is hung in the front window of the home, and lets everyone know that their child is active duty in the military. There is one star for each child in the military.
Getting my Oath of Office from CDR Tooker. He is the XO (Executive Officer) of my unit. Also one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet!
After getting my oath of office, my family came up on stage to change my insignia. I went from being a Midshipman to an Ensign. That's what the gold stripe on my sleeve means. The oak leaf above the stripe is the symbol for the Nurse Corps.
My first salute, given by 1stSgt Bob Garza.
