It is my sincerest priviledge to be with the Officer Candidate Class 04-07 this weekend. This morning at 5:15 I was invited to join their daily run. Afterwards their drill instructors made them "push" in the sand - purely for the amusement of the family and friends gathered to watch. These young officers have been through 12 weeks of Marine Drill Instructor hell. But they are now prepared to lead those they will be asked to. Today they completed the rigorous Marine Drill Instruction, Academic, and Military training to become the latest class of incredible Naval Officers.
Godspeed and Blessing to you 04-07! We will never forget you, and pray for you always! And a grateful nation says THANK YOU!
Any comments or well wishes you would like to add personally to the comment section here will be forwarded to the 04-07 class.
