Sometime between 0700 and 0820 this morning, Ethan Prol checked in for his "swab" year at the United States Coast Guard Academy (see some details here: Click here). At 1500 (3:oo p.m.) he will officially be sworn in. Please pray for Ethan at this significant time in his life. Also, he cannot communicate with the outside world except via USPS ("snail") mail, and experience has shown that those at service academies very much appreciate receiving mail during this six-week period in which all electronic communications have been cut off. His address (he has authorized me to post it here):
Cadet Ethan Prol
U.S. Coast Guard Academy
Chase Hall Box 7470
New London, CT 06320
