Boston

The view of Boston from the Bunker Hill Monument. We only had to climb 294 stairs to get this view!

Newport Naval Base

The ship that is no longer commissioned just parked on the harbor at the base.
The view from my window.
In my uniform in my room, notice my bed made (It had 45degree hospital corners, and took a good 15 min to make each morning.)

Block Island




Newport

Zach LOVED his lobster and the bib!
We are at the international tennis hall of fame. I don't know why my stance is so awkward.

USS Constitution

Inside the ship, this room was an officer's quarters. Each officer got their own room, while the enlisted slept in one big room filled with hammocks.
Zach and me in the gun powder room. Not open to the general public because some of the containers are not empty.

The room full of hammocks where the enlisted slept.

Zach and me next to the 40lb cannons on the gun deck. They got their name because the "bullets" weighed 40lbs.

Zach and me in front of the USS Constitution, the oldest floating Navy ship.

ODS Pictures

A group of ODS students (I am the midget on the player's right) went to a Polo game and this was one of the star players.
A group of some of the girls in my hallway. The girl in the hat was my roommate Sandy Lockett. We were like two peas in a pod. When we had to switch roommates in the 4th week we were so sad.

The entire class 09090 marching onto the field for graduation.
Zach and me after graduation.

I am saluting my Senior Chief, the man who yelled at us for 5 weeks teaching us how to become good naval officers.
