I’ve been so busy with work, I haven’t been able to give everyone much of an update. To keep myself occupied and involved, I’ve also been serving as one of the leaders of the Family Readiness Group. Just to let you know, though, our Officer Candidate is doing very well.
In mid-February, I flew down to Columbus, GA, for the third time, for Marc’s mid-cycle picnic. I had a great time meeting some of the officer candidates and their family members. The officer candidates were so excited to eat barbeque and junk food. The class organized an activities table for the kids and held a raffle fund-raiser.
The company had their last Field Training Exercise in the middle of a major storm. Despite the pouring rain, Marc still enjoyed his time in the field. Unfortunately, two radios were misplaced during these exercises! Although Marc’s platoon was not responsible for these radios in any way, the entire company had to do a thorough search. This postponed Senior inspection and altered the training schedule. The radios never turned up but everything else seems to have returned to normal. His company just passed Senior Inspection and Marc also passed individually. Thanks to senior privileges, he was able to call today. Marc sounds in high spirits and is looking forward to graduation on April 8th.
I will try to provide more particulars, soon!
