Warren to Marine

The crucible Day 3 is the last day to call them recruits and here is what it consists of;

 

Day 3

Reveille (3 am)

Nine-mile hike (4 am - 7 am)

Recruits conduct a nine-mile hike from the Crucible site back to the battalion.

Eagle Globe and Anchor Ceremony (7:30-8:00)

New Marines will receive an Eagle Globe and Anchor from their Drill Instructor marking their transition from a recruit to a Marine.

Warrior's Breakfast

The new Marines are treated to a breakfast fit for only true warriors. It consists of all-you-can-eat steak, eggs and potatoes

Word has come down, he is no longer a poolee, he is no longer a recruit....he IS a United States MARINE!!!!!

All the hard work, all of the whining, crying, pain, exhaustion, sweat (and that's just from me) has paid off.  All of the recruits have worked hard and followed in the footsteps of those Marines that have come before.  We've been waiting for some time to change the flag on the front of the house and now, we've made that change.

 



Thanks for the prayers, the letters and the thoughts.  It's been a tough transition from having him living under our roof to watching him leave....we're looking forward to seeing the young man that Warren has become.
