The Class of 2024 is on my heart. I remember well that after Commissioning of our second Midshipman this prayer came to me as I looked at what was ahead for newly minted Officers and their parents alike. Now that they are away from the safety of Mother B and in the Fleet or Marine Corps, things change and my prayers requests had to adapt - Semper Gumby, right?
Here is my prayer not only for my kids for for all Mids as they Commission and take their rightful place in the Fleet and Marine Corps.

Staying on Mission

My goal is to support, equip, and empower USNA parents with strength, knowledge, and wisdom to navigate this unique journey successfully. MidMoms and MidDads are a different breed:  we stick together, we are resilient, we are faithful, we are not strangers but are lifelong friends - even if we have never met. We will always share the lifelong bond of our Mid's journey and, of course, like our Mids, we Never Give Up the Ship!
