T-56 (September 16)
Museum day! Today the recruits got to visit the Marine Corps Museum. Earlier in the blog I put in pictures of a WWII vet visiting the museum. Looks like they have some really neat stuff there. We need to be sure and visit it on Family Day.
More travel calls are coming to parents. I heard of some parents getting calls to verify they had a place to stay even if the recruit knew the parents were driving. Somehow...I don't see Jeremiah doing that. He's pretty independent so probably told or will tell the travel agent that he knew our plans. Hopefully he asks if he can fly back to San Diego out of Salt Lake City rather than Idaho Falls. Flights from SLC are MUCH less expensive!
Supposedly the recruits get buzzed again too. Next haircut should be the "high and tight" that is associated with military personnel. Hopefully it's not too hard to maintain. Jeremiah's hair grows FAST.
We found out that Platoon 1054 came in fourth in Final Drill that was on Monday. I bet that humbled them since they were first in Initial Drill. Parents are getting letters though, and it sounds like Platoon 1054 is still up for Honor Platoon for graduation. It will be interesting to see if they earn that after the coffee theft/tagging episode during Field Week.
