The Class of 2024 is on my heart. I remember well that after Commissioning of our second Midshipman this prayer came to me as I looked at what was ahead for newly minted Officers and their parents alike. Now that they are away from the safety of Mother B and in the Fleet or Marine Corps, things change and my prayers requests had to adapt - Semper Gumby, right?

Here is my prayer not only for my kids for for all Mids as they Commission and take their rightful place in the Fleet and Marine Corps.

My podcast is based on my book, A USNA Mom's Journal, available on my website https://usnamidmomsandmore.org, at the Midstore, on Kindle, and on Apple Books.
