8/31 Up Date on Mate Matt
July 18 my son and Mate reported for Basic Training at Great Lakes for the Navy. Matt was studying Engenering in College and was accepted into the Navy's Nuclear Engineering Program.
We just received a letter from him yesterday, Matt was nominated by his Division Commander to compete for one of several awards given by the Navy. 12 Recruits were chosen from the 1100 to compete. After reviewing his physical performance, Inspections, Academic scores and leadership Matt was awarded the "Military Excellance Award". as the #1 recruit. At Graduation he will lead all 12 Divisions, and recieve a Commendation from the Admiral. Could Not Be Any Prouder!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow Bob.... You have to be beaming from ear to ear.
Congrats to Matt and kudos to you and the wife for raising such a great young man.... These sorts of things don't happen by accident... Nice to watch an arrow hit it's target.
