Thanks.

His training in OTC resulted in a stress fracture while running down a hill wearing a 75 lb pack. He still managed to finish the school running on a broken leg. He continued to run with a freeking broken leg. LOL

He’s tougher than I am, and he’s the kind of guy I want defending our country.

The Basic School is still pretty tough physically, and actually the packs you have to carry are heavier, but it’s more on tactics and how an officer handles command of a platoon or company. It’s more mental than OTC, but they make that mental part incredibly hard.

Hats off to all our sons and daughters who pass those tests are proud to be known as Marines.
