Just a little taste of what my little bro, Sam, has been up to the last 7 weeks or so. He is currently attending Officer Candidate School for the Marines in Quantico, VA. He says it is really really hard and I don't doubt him one bit. Here he is pictured above climbing on a rope. He is NOT in any of the rest of the pics below, but these are pics of his plattoon. I just posted them because it looks kind of fun. Ok, OK it looks dang hard! Jackson and I looked at these pics together and I kept saying, "Doesn't that look so hard, Jackson,?" and he kept saying, "That looks so easy and so fun! I want to be a Marine!" Hmmm, what little kid wouldn't love climbing on things, swinging from ropes, carrying around a "toy" gun, swimming through muddy water, and swinging on the monkey bars?We love you Sam and we are so proud of you! You are so awesome! We can't wait to see you in a few weeks!
I think they have to swim through that cement pipe with just a tiny bit of air at the top. Scary!

That looks too hard --- but I hope we appreciate what is done for us by those who serve. I hope he's doing okay.
That is AMAZING Saundra! I bet you are so proud of your bro, I know I would be! It totally makes me take a step back and remember how VERY grateful I am for all those that do so much for us little American's!
