01:01.640 --> 01:04.660

our graduates headed for military

01:06.940 --> 01:09.870
service . Next , we're gonna move on to

01:09.870 --> 01:11.860
those that are entering the Navy .

01:11.940 --> 01:14.520
These seven graduates are also all

01:14.520 --> 01:16.970
going on active duty to serve in our

01:16.970 --> 01:19.900
powerful Navy joining us today and

01:19.900 --> 01:22.067
representing the United States Navy is

01:22.067 --> 01:25.620
Petty Officer john Murray . As well as

01:25.630 --> 01:27.950
Petty Officer , first class Benjamin

01:27.960 --> 01:30.850
Dobbs . Mhm

01:32.040 --> 01:35.190
Austin Orzechowski ,

01:35.200 --> 01:39.120
be honest , as soon as they

01:39.120 --> 01:41.231
put this around my neck , I felt like

01:41.231 --> 01:44.950
I was set . Everyone in the

01:44.950 --> 01:48.060
stadium knew where I was going , what I

01:48.060 --> 01:50.004
was doing . And when they put this

01:50.004 --> 01:52.150
around my neck , I knew I'm going to

01:52.150 --> 01:54.680
the Navy . I know there's nothing else

01:54.680 --> 01:56.680
I want to do . I'm joining the Navy

01:57.040 --> 02:00.500
scott . Orzechowski being able to go in

02:00.500 --> 02:02.333
the Navy together . It's just an

02:02.333 --> 02:04.500
amazing thing and I'm glad I got to do

02:04.500 --> 02:07.420
with him . There's seven Navy future

02:07.420 --> 02:09.531
sellers that are going to go and it's

02:09.531 --> 02:11.642
just , it's just great that were part

02:11.642 --> 02:13.642
of that and that , you know , we're

02:13.642 --> 02:15.976
like brothers going in , twins going in .

02:15.976 --> 02:17.976
So it's just , it's just amazing to

02:17.976 --> 02:21.500
finally go in position . One

02:21.500 --> 02:23.800
day , Petty Officer Murray comes into

02:23.800 --> 02:27.350
class and he's explaining the Navy and

02:27.350 --> 02:31.300
all the benefits and how it is . It

02:31.310 --> 02:33.088
just piqued my interest because

02:33.088 --> 02:35.350
originally I wasn't even thinking about

02:35.350 --> 02:37.410
the Navy and when he explained

02:37.420 --> 02:40.900
everything , I did not know and there's

02:40.900 --> 02:43.250
way more to it and we can build a

02:43.250 --> 02:45.570
career and a life out of it . I thought

02:45.580 --> 02:47.636
it's the best thing to do unless you

02:47.636 --> 02:49.640
get to serve your country and just

02:49.650 --> 02:53.160
become one in the community that

02:53.540 --> 02:55.670
It's what I've always wanted to be .

02:55.680 --> 03:00.550
But

03:00.560 --> 03:03.170
to see the unconditional support and

03:03.170 --> 03:05.410
the amount of love and time and cared ,

03:05.410 --> 03:07.270
I was put into the ceremony , 40

03:07.270 --> 03:09.640
students and then to honor those that

03:09.640 --> 03:12.060
are joining the service . I think it is

03:12.060 --> 03:13.838
something that will be honestly

03:13.838 --> 03:16.060
remember for the rest of my life . Uh ,

03:16.060 --> 03:18.282
it's an experience I will never be able

03:18.282 --> 03:20.449
to forget . I just would like to think

03:20.449 --> 03:22.616
that Bethel Park High School faculty ,

03:22.616 --> 03:24.782
all staff members , teachers , parents

03:24.782 --> 03:26.782
for allowing us , you know , as the

03:26.782 --> 03:28.782
Navy to be a part of something like

03:28.782 --> 03:32.030
this . Yeah . Mhm . Oh ,

03:32.040 --> 03:35.860
hi .

03:35.870 --> 03:39.230
Hell Zoo

03:43.780 --> 03:46.980
everyone .

03:55.050 --> 03:57.910
So let's row

03:57.920 --> 04:00.630
evil wash for .
