That Colonel is a true leader! Empathy is essential to strong leadership!
-
In case anyone is wondering, they are still married. He is now the Executive officer of the nuclear submarine USS Louisiana, (probably a Commander) and she runs her own container business.
-
A classic clean-cut young man and now an officer in the US Navy.
-
A young man commissioned in the navy as a nuke officer. No small feat. One of the hardest, if not the hardest school to qualify for, intellectually, in our awesome military. TY both for your service. Gorgeous couple.
-
The look on his face was priceless.
-
He wasn't "commissioned into the navy," he was commissioned as an OFFICER. Now, his wife will have to salute him and obey his orders. (yeah, sure -- heh)
-
This always brings a smile whenever I watch this. Even though it's been several years ago, still wish them both a 'Fair Winds and Following Seas.'
-
As a military couple, we lived the long distance thing for years. I ended up having to get out from 2 spinal fusions but 10 years later, he was commissioned. Being a sailor and spouse is double the sacrifice but we raise our hands for honor, courage, commitment. Still married and now retired! Blessings to you both shipmates!
-
He's an officer, she's enlisted. Guess what? She's still the boss!
-
Congratulations young man. Your country is proud of you.
-
Beautiful wife.....unfortunately they are separated but thank you for your service and the love you both have for each other that keeps you both strong!!!!

I can remember the MARINE CORPS Infantry using a conference call with my parents when I was commissioned to the rank of captain After I finished my B.S. from Denver STATE university after returning from a extended tour of duty in Afghanistan. Was happy to see this improvement in the commission ceremony from the Navy
