Former AppleSox assistant coach Fletcher Vynne has graduated with honors from the U.S. Naval Officer Candidate School in Newport, R.I.

Vynne graduated in early December and is now attending Naval Flight School in Pensacola, FL. The popular coach joined the military after the AppleSox season wrapped up last summer.

Before coaching with the AppleSox, he helped the University of British Columbia capture the NAIA World Series in 2006 as a player and later served as a graduate assistant for Seattle University.
