Frocking (I love this one!)

Okay, so "frocking" is probably my favorite F-word thus far because it sounds incredibly naughty when, in fact, it is not. Frocking is one of those military terms that sounds so impressive. Basically, "frocking" entitles the service member to wear the higher grade and to benefit from the protocol of that grade. In essence, you get to put the insignia on your uniform so that everyone knows how cool you are.

So, Mike got frocked on Tuesday. (Doesn't that sound terribly naughty-naughty?!) I'm posting some pics so you can see how handsome he is in uniform and to show you how much Alec fully appreciated the ceremony (not so much).

Frocking is a word that tends to make Navy wives frolic freely. Not only because our deserving loved ones are finally honored because of their dedication and hard work, but also because of the funds that will follow. Ok Andrea, did you notice the usage of three "f" words for you. :) Congrats to both of you. Mike for his hard work and you for being such a support for him. See you in the hall...... Tracy

Nicely done, Tracy. You have great potential as an "f" word user. Keep up the Fantastic "f" work. :-)

Happy frocking, Mike! Yeah, Alec doesn't look to excited about the ceremony!

Hi, Andrea! I ran across your fun blog and wanted to say hello. It's been a long time since the days of Searcy Hall and the Bison. Looks like life is great for you and Mike!

Good F words

Hey! Not all F words are bad. The best words in the world are family, fun, food, and fabulous! I'm challenging myself to expand my own appreciation of the fabulous F words out there. I'm starting a list of words that I'll eventually write about. Let me know if you think of another fun one.



Family ~ Father ~ Fast ~ Fanatic ~ Fanciest ~ Festive ~ Fanciful ~ Freedom ~ Friday ~ Flower ~ Flagrant ~ Fixable ~ Forceful ~ Forbidden ~ Foray ~ Foppish ~ Fledgling ~ Frappacino ... hmmm... maybe ?
