Zach graduates from OCS









After a long hard summer zach has graduated from Marine Officer Candidate School!! We are so proud of him. He worked hard, endured a lot, overcame injury, sickness, fatigue, hunger, the heat. With mental and physical toughness he made it to the end. There was a drop out rate of 26% in his platoon. Zach never considered quiting. He is back at college now to finish his senior year and lead the fire department as the Captain.

Scout did awesome on her first road trip. We drove down to Virginia and back, mostly driving at night so she could sleep. We spent one day in Washington DC at Arlington cemetery. We met the cap horse, Sgt. York. He was in President Reagans funeral as the riderless horse. Scout got to pet him in his stable. We also visited the Marine Corps museum.
