My Daughter Wears Combat Boots

0800 On the line. Aten' Hut!

Parade...Rest!
Gettin' the lowdown on the graduation ceremony. .50 cals' (that's Pannini in the back row, the boys missed this one. They were out on a 15 mile bike trip/camp out with the scouts)
Mr. Pinch and the recruits in combat boots and canteens.
Finally in a YM uniform. She was so excited! Can't you tell? She received the Physical Fitness award.
The Blousing Ceremony. The older YM's will blouse the pants of the new .50 cal as a rite of passage from bootcamp into the active unit.

Congratulations 2009 Young Marine Bootcamp Graduates! Hoorah!
