After Josh’s graduation he was free to go.\u00a0 He had three week’s leave before he had to report to Camp LeJeune for Marine Combat Training. (Something we hope he’ll never have to use!)<\/p>\n
The day before graduation, when he had some liberty, we thought to give him a treat and take him to a buffet on base.\u00a0 We found out when we got there that they were serving the same stuff the guys got all the time!\u00a0 So, on our way home we stopped for Pizza Hut . . . that was more like it.<\/p>\n
As he never would let me teach him how to properly iron a shirt before, I found Josh’s newly acquired ironing skills to be quite “impressive.”<\/p>\n
