Sara loses her teeth!

!!!No me digas!!!

This on top of everything else!

I just got news from Sara's older sister Rebecca (my Rooskie girl) that she got a letter and Sara told her that she had just gotten her wisdom teeth out... GOODNESS!   Sara said she would have 4 hours of rest and a day of light duty and then full steam again.  I expect she will have had at least three days to recuperate and get her stamina built back up again before the wee hours of the morning tomorrow, Saturday, where she will have the privilege of the first of the "conditioning marches"... this one a three mile with her individual "load bearing equipment."

Today  was T10 and she, among all else, had her Fourth level of First Aid class.  She was introduced to recognizing the signs/symptoms and treatment of burns and climactic injuries like: Heat Stroke, Heat Exhaustion, Hypothermia, and Frost Bite.



November company today learned about organizational values and practices that are, for the most part, U.S. Marine Corps unique. Of particular interest to me as her Dad, she is studying the official policies of the USMC on various topics that will guide and shape the behavior of each Marine.  These policies and topics include subjects such as: Policies on Equal Opportunity, Sexual Harassment, Hazing, Policy on Alcohol and Substance abuse, just to name a few.

Sara and her fellow recruits have learned that the “UCMJ” is a federal law, enacted by Congress, that its provisions are contained in United States Code, Title 10, Chapter 47, and that it is the basis of our system of military justice, and is the foundation of military law in the United States.  The Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Bright and early Saturday Morning.... Three Miles!

Keep pushing Sara!  You are loved dearly and dearly loved by all of us!  Be strong!  Here I pass forward these verses (Hebrews 13:5-6) that you shared with me from your quiet time.  We will hold them in our hearts with you.

"Since God assured us, 'I'll never let you down, never walk off and leave you,' we can boldly quote, God is there, ready to help:  I am fearless no matter what.  Who or what can get to me?"

Thank you for being you.  I am so proud of you.
