Congrats on the purchase of your C5 - looks like a beauty.

And congrats on attending the Naval Academy. It's a great place for an education and the beginning of an outstanding naval career.

Thank you but not me Commander Vetteman.

My daughter and niece and both finishing their Plebe years as members of the class of 2018.

Thank you for your service and I could not be more proud.

Nice! Clean car.. I see a few custom touches already, like the interior pieces and the wheels.

Double congrats as well, on your kiddos attending the Academy.

Btw,do your best to talk them into not becoming jarheads. You'll thank me later.
