    I could not be more proud of you. I am a relative or yours we have never had the opportunity to meet but I look forward to the day I do. I don’t know if I have ever told your mother but I enlisted in the Army and enjoyed my service to my country, not every one can do what your are doing. I am very honored to call you family. God bless you, you will be in my prayers!

    ENS Bloodsworth, welcome to the armed forces team and, most importantly, the military family! Congratulations on completing your education and your commission! I’m sure that SCPO Coleman couldn’t be any more proud of you and I’m glad he got to be your first salute. I know how much he means to all of us!

    Go forth and do great things! Keep your Sailors first and let your NCOs lead!
    And, as always: Go Army, Beat Navy! lol

    Jessica,
    What an accomplishment, with both the degree in chemistry and the commissioning. Northview is so proud of you and to Senior Chief Coleman and Captain Code for their influence. Best of luck!

    Congratulations, Ensign Bloodsworth! I bet Senior Chief Coleman is surely proud to be the recipient of your first salute and your silver dollar. It’s great that he still keeps in touch with his former NJROTC students. Once you finish Surface Warfare Officer School in a few months, the USS GETTYSBURG (CG-64) no doubt will getting one of Northview’s finest. “Deeds – Not Words” is a great ship’s motto and through your deeds be sure to take care of your sailors because they are the ones who will make you successful in your career.
