Today was the day we were looking forward to for a long time! My pictures are backwards so when you read this start at the bottom. Too lazy to delete them and start over!
This is Liberty Formation: they've showered and gotten into their uniforms and march out to the parade deck to get released. You can see him to the left/bottom of the flag.
Standing at attention and listening to the speaker
After the liberty run we move to a different area and the recruits finish their 5 mile run (I believe that's what it was), then they run into this spot we are standing in and we listen to a drill instructor for a bit then the recruits are released to go back to barracks and shower. This is him running to their assigned spot. Again, we got into the perfect spot!
Talk about lucky! We found our spot behind Kenneth's platoon number and waited for the moto run. I had to warn Kali if she by chance saw her brother NOT to run to him because he could still get into trouble. Well, here they came, the crowd is screaming, the tears are flowing and yep.........he stopped right in front of us! He's behind the guy in the middle row. We were crying and screaming that we loved him. Kali's trying to get somewhere where she could see his face, i'm sure it was hard for him but he did a great job focusing because we weren't making it easy!
Our first night in San Diego. Grandma was the only one Kali could talk into swimming!
