3 Generations of U.S. Naval Officers


My Father (on the far right) was a career Naval Aviator. And my oldest brother Christopher (center) was a Naval Aviator for 7 years and has since been a commercial airline pilot. And now, my oldest nephew, Nicholas (on the far left) has followed in their footsteps...or their flight patterns, and has just recently graduated from OCS (Officer Candidate School) for the U.S. Navy in Rhode Island. He will shortly be starting flight school in Pensacola, Florida.



Handsome devils, no? I'm fiercely proud of all three of them.



They really don't know what to do here though. It kind of looks like my nephew is playing "grab ass" with his father. And speaking of which, where is MY Father's right hand?? Oh no...



So, they decide to hug again. (Not really, that's just how I arranged the pictures. I was amusing myself, which I know you probably find rather hard to believe.)



Here you can see someone is giving them orders. It's either my Sister-in-law or my Mother. Either way, my Father doesn't look too pleased with the mission. In fact, there might just be a mutiny.



"ATTENTION IN THE SQUAD BAY!! Eye's in the boat, gentlemen..."



"Carry on, gentlemen...For the love of us all, carry on..."

Very impressive. I'm surprised they stood for so many shots.

My family hates it when I pull out a camera.

It's not too late Kev, you could really throw something at these guys and enlist in the marines.
(or join the Navy and the Village People at the same time)

Thanks, you guys. :)

And Joe - I already did my duty. I was in the Coast Guard for 6 years. And I have a place in the Village People for life. :)
