Did Any of Your Children Follow Your Footsteps into Military Service? If so, Which Branch Did They Join, What Career Path Did They Take, and What Were Some of Their Most Notable Achievements?:

My husband and I both served on active duty in the US Navy. Jim was on active duty from 1974 to 1994. I was on active duty from 1980 to 2002. Little did we know that our son would apply for a Navy ROTC scholarship in 2005. Our son, CDR James Lambert, served as a Surface Warfare Officer on USS Bulkeley, USS Kearsarge, USS Mason, and USS Carter Hall, all home ported in Norfolk, VA. CDR Lambert is currently the Commanding Officer of the Navy Talent and Acquisition Group Mid America in St. Louis, MO. In 2016, our daughter, Elizabeth Lambert, applied for a Naval Commission through OCS in Newport, RI.
