A lot of us here have posted about the achievements of our children and grandchildren, and rightfully so. Promotions, advancements - military and civilian - success in work , the arts and sports makes a parent proud of their child's achievements; that we raised these wonderful and successful people. We snap our suspensors and pop buttons off our collective shirts because of our swelling chest at the pride we feel. Well, yesterday, it was my turn to snap suspenders and pop buttons.
Yesterday, Mrs fordson and I and our local family attended a graduation ceremony held in downtown Jacksonville. It was to recognize the completion of the a four-year apprenticeship course of study and hands-on training for various technicians positions at the Fleet Readiness Center, Southeast (FRCSE), NAS Jacksonville. The FRCSE is a Naval Aircraft Depot, one of three major, and four smaller, facilities that preforms repair, manufacturing, maintenance and overhaul work on Naval aircraft, engines and components. Our son, Eric, one of 45 apprentices (out of 66 that started the program) to complete the course and receive his certification in Electrical/Electronics technology. He will be assigned as a Journeyman technician to the FRESE Avionics program division testing and repairing FLIR radar systems for both naval and Air Force aircraft . The cell phone photos are the cover of the ceremony program and Eric receiving his certification from the FRCSE XO, Capt M. Windom.
I popped another button off my shirt just typing this…..
Good on you, Son.
