Shane recently got his Infantry Blue Cords and completed his Infantry Basic Officer Leadership Course. These were two important occasions and some of our main reasons for being at Ft. Benning, in Georgia. Charlie company had their Blue Cord Ceremony, where everyone was in ASU's (the Army's dress uniform), and I was able to present him his cords during the ceremony. The graduation was a separate ceremony the next morning. I am proud to say that my hard working husband graduated in the top third of his class of 170 other elite men. After 11/17 weeks separated in the field, running over a 100 miles, many celebratory welcome home pans of nachos, too many 4 am mornings to count, a all-to-well-known 60lb ruck, more push-ups than you can imagine, over 50 loads of dirty Army laundry, and 5 bucket fulls of tears later we are done with IBOLC! Praise God, who gave us unimaginable strength to make it through this very difficult entrance into married Army life. Now onto our next adventure together, Shane starts Ranger School Jan 1st.
