    Congrats Richard I bet you are very proud. I graduated Aug 1978 GL co 106 Div 17 and got to attend a Navy graduation in 2014 and it was the best feeling to be able to go back so I am sure you are very proud to see your daughter back there after 8 years leading the charge. I got on here because my son and his friends all had joined. My son was sent home after a short time due to medical reasons and disclosures but I have kept on here hoping to maybe help with advice but I have found that so much has changed since I was in that I am very little help but I still like to read and hear about the Navy I was once in but will always be a part of. To have your daughter be there as and RDC has to be a really great moment, how proud you must be. Tell her congrats from an "Old Salt Squid". God Bless
