Title: Home Sweet Home
Post by: Russ C on January 21, 2012, 08:53:32 pm

‎(While clicking my heals three time) There is no place like home, there is no place like home, there is no place like home. Yes, we have made it home safe and sound. Thank you one and all for you comments and thoughts. We where able to spend about four hours with Cory Thursday and after Graduation Friday about five hours. We where able to see him off at the airport as he continues on to the next chapter in his life as a Marine. It is really hard to let him go, but I am also so very proud of my son Cory.  :)

Cory graduated as a Lance Corporal and his MOS (job) is 0317 Scout Sniper. This is something he has wanted to do since he was 15 and in ROTC.

Cory deserves a special pat on the back. Scout sniper school is nothing to sneeze at.

Glad to see you made it home safely with all of the nasty storms in that region.

Glad your home and glad you managed to spend a little time with your son, even though I know you would have liked it to be a bit more.

Russ, do you know where he is being assigned?  Now comes the prayer time for your sons and daughters serving, speaking from experience!
