Just spotted this picture posted today on theOCS website. The guys look a little funny in their reverse tonsures, don't they? But I sure wouldn't tell them I thought so... Family: Can you spot Paul?? Go here to see if you're right.
My "adopted" son begins his basic training with the Marines at the end of this summer. I am following Paul's journey with a special (selfish, I guess) interest :-) It just feels so much closer to home. Blessings! Peggy
I actually spotted him. My father is retired military, and when I was three he went to OCS . . . one of the older guys since he was in his late twenties.
It was a grueling time (my mom tells us that the two times she got to see him he looked so gaunt and his knees were so swollen) but he graduated and had a great military career.
Nothing like the military...Was the wife of a 1st Lt. in the Corp of Engineers for 3 1/2 years...It's a whole different world. God bless him and keep him! Cathy
