Today, I had the Series Commander Inspection. Basically, we all stood in formation in our drill uniforms and a handful of recruits are inspected by random by the series commander--Capt Moore.
I have recently been praying for the Senior Drill Instructor and his subbordinates to notice me more (in a good way). Sure enough, Capt Moore's heels came together in from of me and as luck would have it my Senior Drill Instructor was right there watching. I executed a perfect inspection arms (look that up on YouTube) after which he took my weapon and checked it and my uniform.
Cleanest weapon in the platoon, perfect uniform, and I answered all his questions with a cool confidence. The expression on his face was a HUGE confidence builder but even more so when he turned to my Senior Drill Instructor and said "This guy know his stuff and his bearing is solid. It was a good day.
I am a Phase III Recruit now in the MCRD again. I have exactly 31 days from today until I get to see you all again. 3 more weeks of training and then the Crucible. I am so excited! The end of the training is in sight.
Mom/Dad as for all your questions: Yes, bring a small bag with my things. When you pick me up I will need room to pack my sea bag other gear bags (shouldn't be a problem with Black Betty) Other than that, pretty simple.
I love and miss you all,
Love
Tanner
