The two Soldiers standing on opposite sides in front row were our instructors.
I introduced our guest speaker, then later received my Critical Care Nursing Course certificate.
Upon conclusion of the ceremony we stood up, did an about-face, and received a round of applause.
The 15 week course at Madigan Army Medical Center [MAMC] was very intense, which included classroom & clinical time, six exams, CEU presentation, one hour single system failure presentation, three hour three system failure, and various other graded activities. Plus, as a prerequisite we were required to complete the online Essentials of Critical Care Orientation [ECCO] course in three months.
It is very nice to be able to take 2 weeks leave before I process back in as permanent party at MAMC on ICU East for a 3 year committment. Rumor has it, in 6 months I may get PROFIS'd to a CSH Unit & deployed OCONUS for a year.
My hats off to you on a remarkable accomplishment!
....and the pics.....whoa...glad you posted more than one. Until the subsequent photos I couldn't tell who was the father and who was the son! What a handsome family group!
