Today the girls had a chance to meet my very first Captain. I worked for him nearly nine years ago when I was an Ensign
(0-1) onboard USS Comstock. Now here it is nine years later and I am a LT. Commander (0-4, Select).
My first Captain was also the first Commanding Officer of the ship that I am currently stationed onboard. He asked me when I was an Ensign to come up with the motto for the ship. The motto is "Never Retreat, Never Surrender." That is my little claim to fame which will last significantly longer then most people's 15 minutes of fame. Next is to have a ship named after me but that is later down the road:).
The girls were not able to go onboard because the ship is still in the shipyards. We took pictures in the parking lot and the girls were excited to have met him.
