I still remember my graduation.

The general grad ceremony was held in the football stadium, then we broke up to attend ceremonies for the individual colleges. It was fun to be there and acknowledge the accomplishment, but I didn't have a job lined up...yet.

I packed up my car the following day and headed home to discover the Navy recruiter had called and told my parents he wanted me to call him back ASAP. He even left his home number. I was headed to AOCS to eventually become a Naval Aviator! Not a bad weekend...
