Jace and I took a trip down to Newport, RI to visit my Dad during his break from Direct Commission Officer Indoctrination Course at Newport Naval Station. For those of you who don't know, my Dad joined the US Navy Reserve Dental Corps this past September and currently drills (pardon the pun) at Navy Operational Support Center Tucson. Attention! This weekend marked the halfway point of his 12-day crash course in Navy customs and courtesies, proper uniform wear, Navy command structure and all that good stuff. Such a trip down memory lane for both Jace and me as he told us how he's currently sleeping on top of his bed (but not in the sheets) because it's made to spec and he doesn't want to mess it up and how their room was torn apart after they spent hours preparing for inspection (SAMI anyone?)! We couldn't quit chuckling and shaking our heads all weekend. I've gotta say I never imagined I'd be buying my Dad edge dressing and teaching him tricks...
