Officially a USMC Wife

Today, at precisely 8:00 am, my recruit became as US Marine. He recieved his Eagle, Globe, and Anchor after completing the crucible and was treated to a Warriors Breakfast; all you can eat, which I am sure my husband MORE than indulged in. For a guy his size, he sure can pack it in!

The rest of his time at MCRD will be spent as a Marine; he will get to address his DI's by their rank, get an extra hour of free time at the end of the night, and know that he has earned a title that will follow him for the rest of his life. Not everyone can be a Marine; you have to be pretty darn awesome.

I wish I could be there with him, or even get a phonecall. It really sucks that I cant share one of the most important days of his life with him. Oh well; his mom is taking his cell phone with her to San Diego, so I will get to talk to him for as long as I want on the 26th. Thank God for Family Day.
