Wow, It is finally here and over! It is now official, Garet graduated from Weber State University Magna Cum Laude and commissioned as a 2 LT in the Army going Aviation, which means we will be going to Ft Rucker Alabama for flight school where he will fly Apache Helicopters!!
I am so proud of everything Garet has accomplished! I couldn't be happier for him, I knew he could do it! He has worked so hard while going to nursing school, working, ROTC, and drilling with his aviation unit all at the same time!
His parents flew in Thursday night and went straight to Logan so we got to see them Friday at graduation. As soon as graduation was over we drove straight over to the Wildcat Theater and had rehearsal for the commissioning ceremony.
His grandfather is a retired Major in the Air Force and Garet asked him if he would swear him in... It was an amazing experience!! After, Garets mom Shari and I pinned his rank on him. His first salute was a good friend of his from his unit, this was his first time ever being asked to do the first salute so with his grandfather swearing him in and than his friend doing the first salute it was quite an amazing experience!!
