Navy Brother Makes Sister's Jaw Drop When He Returns Home

An eight-year-old girl's jaw nearly hit the floor when her Navy brother walked into her school classroom after six months apart. Brayden Quinlisk, from Bridgeton, Missouri, had missed the likes of Thanksgiving and Christmas with his family after leaving home to attend bootcamp in October 2022. The 19-year-old's absence was tough on his younger sister, Layla Wisbracht, aged eight, who would keep asking her parents for updates on her brother's return. Having graduated bootcamp in January, Brayden, an aviation machinist mate, then headed straight to school in Pensacola, Florida. After given an indication he was set to come home, Brayden planned to return to Missouri a few days earlier than the date he gave his family, so that his first interaction with each sibling would be a surprise. As he walked through the doorway of Layla's classroom at Bridgeway Elementary School on April 28, just as pupils had finished the Pledge of Allegiance, Layla's jaw immediately dropped.
