We had a thread along these lines at Christmas so I thought I would start another to post spring semester accomplishments and updates on summer activities.
DS had a great spring semester. His drill team came in 2nd overall at Mardi Gras drill meet and first overall at the Beale Street drill meet. Join the Navy, see the world, or portions of US at least for now. He finally got his perfect 300 Marine PFT score and also won the Fittest Midshipman competition at his Battalion. He said he smoked the nearest competitor by 30 seconds. He also received the Robert E. "Rusty" Mozo scholarship at his Tri-Service awards ceremony. Rusty was a career Naval Aviator and a prior member of the battalion who passed away late last year. We don't know the details but I imagine its a small one time award. We're grateful for the recognition. DS is pumped!
We don't know his grades yet but we're hoping for a 3.5 this semester. Now if only he can get his NROTC scholarship application in on time next year.
Looks like summer employment is only part time as a Y day camp counselor. Hoping it can go to full time if they have more sign ups, or maybe an additional part time job.
Of course there is always mowing my lawn.
Can't wait to have him home so we can catch up on Fringe.
I hope everyone participating in summer training learns a lot while having a great time. I'm sure everyone is looking forward to spending some quality time at home with family.
