Saturday night we all went to watch Duke become Chief in the Navy! It was a huge, moment for him and for us. It was pretty special ceremony! Only 10% of the Navy gets selected to be Chief, and our brother is one of them. He gives 100% of his skills to the Navy and always goes above and beyond his best, he is very worthy of receiving Chief. I think it is so awesome that he has been able to go so far as a Navy man, and the boys and I were so proud to take part in this night for him. Levi tried standing at "attention" as long as they did during the ceremony, I would say he might be Navy quality, I think Uncle Duke would like that. I like to teach them to thank and respect our military, and if God wills, maybe serve one day. I was so excited to join him on this night, it was so special, and moving, the whole ceremony was. Duke had a 2 month, hard core "initiation" process before being officially titled "Chief." I am always so thankful to Duke's unselfishness to serve our country as a sailor and now to have him earn this title is just awesome. WE say way to go Uncle Duke, and we love ya!
