Auntie Sam starts Marine Crucible

scarlett Everyday Stuff

My Auntie Sam starts her last main test before becoming a marine.
At around 2:00 am Eastern time, on Thursday morning 01/30/20, her November 18 2019 Platoon starts a 54 hour, 45 mile, sleep deprived military exercise/ challenge called the Crucible. Grammy built a shrine… lots of parents do. Samantha will complete the course, no doubt, on Saturday around 8:00am February 1 2020

The drill instructors go from yelling and intimidating, to yelling and intimidating and encouraging… I have read. This is a once in a lifetime experience, if you don’t have to do it over. Those that complete this “Crucible” are then called Marines… for real.

Honey & Abby in the backyard with Grandpa & Grammie

We have a guest “video taker” today as Grandpa took Abby and Honey in the backyard:

Grandpa took Honey in the back with Abby… and honey found it fun to dig a little in the mud in the backyard. Once Honey had her paws muddy, her fate was sealed. There would be a bath in her future, for sure. So, what the fudge (WTF)… go for it. Grandpa had to give both dogs showers. Abby & Honey are getting along much better now.
