Here’s the long overdue post about the last days of TBS! At the end of the POI (period of instruction) before graduation, Lieutenants get to bring their spouses and family on base to learn about, and get a hands-on encounter with all the dirty, dangerous, and fun stuff they were paid to mess with the past 6 months (and for most Lts. it will continue to be in their job description). They had an array of vehicles, helicopters, and weapon systems on display…MCMAP (marine corps martial arts program) demonstrations…opportunities to ride an MRAP (mine resistant ambush protected) vehicle while dressed in a Flak jacket (vest) and Kevlar (helmet)…shoot an M16 and M203 (grenade launcher)…handle a variety of guns…and much more. I had a blast! Here’s a short slideshow of the fun…
The following day was Danno’s graduation held at the FBI academy. It was a huge relief to finally put TBS to a close! I’m so proud of Danno for making it through – what an accomplishment! Taking photos during the ceremony was a challenge, but here’s a few. Also, a photo of his Platoon during MOUT (military operations urban terrain).
