Change of Watch

Yesterday I sat and watched the official “changing of the guard” for the Command Master Chief (CMC) of District 11. The change of watch is a time-honored ceremony where the outgoing CMC passes the baton to the incoming CMC.

I want to invite everyone we know to welcome Master Chief Bushey and his wife Amy (and son Anthony, even if he will be away at college) to the Bay area. Show them they same support and camaraderie that you have showed both Terry and I.

It is a bittersweet moment, listening to my husband thank those that have influenced, supported and worked side by side with him during our two years here in the Bay area, both shipmates and community members alike. These are people we are leaving behind as we transfer to the DC area, people that we have worked and laughed with, and people that have forever left an imprint on our lives.

Saying goodbye is never easy, instead we will just say, “Until we see you again”. If you are ever in the DC area, do not hesitate to stop by and say hello or stay a day or two, our door will always be open.
