We went to Parris Island, South Carolina on Wednesday to pick up our oldest son Robby from marine boot camp.
When he left in august, he was a typical 18 year old punk, to say the least.
He knew it all-
could Do it all-
yet did little,
and certainly didn't need OUR advice or help with ANYTHING.
Gone is that kid.
We were met by a confident, mature young man Thursday morning for the Family Day festivities.
His brother and sisters were equally amazed/impressed.
Friday morning was the actual graduation ceremony-
very emotional, a very proud moment for the families of all 541 marine recruits graduating that day.
His Dad and I could not have been any more proud than at that moment.
Met other recruits,
met the drill instructors,
met other families-
met our son-
it seemed like for the first time.
Congratulations 1st Recruit Training Batallion
