This is great news. Job well done!
When my husband and I were in and he got CPO, there were 2 really symbolic things. Their anchor emblems and changing from blue to khaki uniforms. I think it would be great to do a large anchor pattern, such as Tula Pink's, and do it with a blue color way for the background and then a khaki color way for the anchor. It would be a little subtler then the printed emblems-would have been more my DH's choice.
