Navy League OP Sail Commanding Officer Reception brings a suprise meeting!
I have just had one of the most gratifying experiences any Sea Cadet officer can experience. While attending the Navy League Reception for all the Commanding Officers and Executive Officers of the ships participating in The International Naval Review and OP Sail in New York this past 4th of July. A Captain walked up to me, called me by name, and introduced himself. He was one of the cadets I trained while I was serving with the Delong Division 22 years ago!! One of MY cadets is a Captain in the US Navy and is the Executive Officer of the USS Nassau!! After talking he informed me that 3 other of my former cadets became US Navy officers. I can't tell you how proud I was of him!
