My youngest brother Adam is officially a Marine and he is only 17 years old! He made it through boot camp with flying colors! I am so incredibly proud of him! The Marines boot camp is really tough ~ especially the last phase--The Crucible; 54 hours with very little food or sleep.
Adam gets 10 well earned days off and then he is off to Camp Lejune for about 20 days for combat training. Then he will go to school down south for training in his specific job ~ which has to do with detonating bombs :( Hopefully he'll be in school for a long time!
Hats off to Adam! And special thanks to him for his service to our country. Great photos. Nice blog, Erica.
