After a long 22 weeks of police academy, Jerry was relieved to finally graduate! His parents/family were also present to help celebrate his big day. The ceremony began as the cadets entered, walking in formation, which was very impressive! Next came a few short speeches and then a slideshow of pictures over the course of the academy. It was nice to get a better glimpse of all the faces and activites I had been hearing about all these months!
The ceremony concluded with the presentation of each cadet as they crossed the stage to receive their graduation certificate. I was so proud as I stood in line to take his picture---that's MY husband! Eli also showed his pride by dressing up as a "police officer, like Daddy." After a nice long holiday weekend, Jerry is now reporting to his department in Frisco where he will be attending yet another "mini-academy" for the next 5 weeks. Upon completion, Jerry will spend 4 more months as a field training officer, then finally hit the streets of Frisco on his own! Hang in there, Jer, you're almost there.....
