Iwo Jima Day

Yesterday I took the cadets to participate in an Iwo Jima day parade in Boston. When we arrived we came upon another unit from the same organization. This unit from western Mass was larger and more experienced so we folded our kids in with theirs. The CO of the other unit was a in-your-face drill instructor type and my kids received a rude awakening at his behest. However they seemed to quickly settle into the new order and performed well at the parade.

Afterwards I went to see my sister who is recovering from a three week stay at psychiatric hospital. We had a great visit and we both enjoyed the company. She seems to be making some progress. I hope she continues to work on her issues.

I'm glad they performed well. Even with an in-your-face instructor. I've always had a hard time with those...
