Meet Private Fannin
We picked up our son from Young Marine Boot Camp on Saturday. He is now officially a Private in the organization. Starting at next drill he’ll be able to order around recruits almost twice his age, though I’m sure he won’t. He said he had a good time even though it was hard work. He was able to easily pass all his physical fitness tests and his Marine history test. He learned how to blouse his pants, shine his shoes, and march in formation. You can see on his chest that he was awarded his first ribbon for completion of boot camp. He wants to wear it everywhere and it’s all we can do to make sure he doesn’t. He told us he only cried twice and that was from being made to do pushups because someone else in the squad screwed up.
We’re very proud of him.
