Saturday is our first day taking the cadets we have to chow. We all sit together for the last time. After this it will be by Division. I called Anna to make sure she is okay and on her way. She is finishing up getting showered and dressed, and will be dropping Brighid off shortly. To keep the 10 that arrived early, I started showing them how to fold their gear.

Graduation ceremonies for the regular sailors was a very impressive event. I was able to sit on the second deck and with great seats, see the entire ceremony. Very impressive. And since I have been a participant in was exciting to be able to see it from the stands for a change.

I went to the main gate because I forgot where RTC was in relation. They gave me adjusted directions, I went to the RTC gate, and was on base. Due to all of the construction, I parked at the Chapel grinder and took a walk to figure out where I had to go. As I walked across the gravel, the left and right corframs broke apart on me. Back to my car, put on the regular leather dress shoes. Luck would have it that a Senior Chief RDC showed up. He pointed me to the long route around the construction.

Thursday and time to leave Minneapolis for RTC Great Lakes. Last minute decision, I bring everything with me. The dry cleaning I can leave at the Marriott with Anna to get dry cleaned. All the suitcases might come in handy for me to bring stuff back, and also to California. Better I have 3 bags then Brighid has 2.
