The Trump Administration

Kudos to your son. Is he still on active duty? Nice of Fagan to invite staff and families to Admiral's House for fireworks viewing.

Still active. Career officer. Not really tied to Fagan as was only on her staff for less than a year, but he liked her. Got to visit a lot of countries in that time.

He will be fine. He is 6' 4'', 280 pounds (no fat...I'm jealous), smart with a winning personality. Cuts quite a notable figure in dress uniform. He is mine, but would say he is an impressive young man even were he not.

Will take this a little further - The Coast Guard does more with less than any other agency/service I know. Fewer than 60,000 of them, but when disaster strikes they always seem to be the folks that have their stuff together from the gitgo.

Motto -Semper Paratus meaning Always Ready. Coasties live that.

One of my nephews is a USCGA grad (98, I think) and isa lifer. He's presently in DC and will be sent to Taiwan as an attaché in the near future for 2 or 3 years.
