Amber by the pool.
Steve Family all together at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. Steve, Maureen, Taylor, and Brendan.
Taylor, on left, catching a ride to his new station on the east coast. I love to see that big grin.
Emma and Hedge were in a charity running event. I don't know how the did, but I am sure it was fine, judging from their medals.
What is on Paddy's chest? Take a guess.
He wanted to look tough. He had Kelsey and Paddy use a ballpoint pen to draw hair on his chest. "Believe it or not".
Here our joggers out of the trails back to the field.
He finishes with cheers.
Is greeted by his fans.
And goes into a huddle with his coach, Frank.
Steve spotting for Joseph. He is pressing 150# (abt) last August.
Taylor and his D.I. at graduation. This is probably the only time the D.I. has smiled in the last six weeks.
Taylor and army friend. She doesn't look tough enough to tote a full pack for miles. Her name is unknown.
Taylor in his dress uniform at his Basic Graduation. He is off defending his country.
Brendan is defending the local ladies.
"And Paddy is defending his high school. He is so cute. Paddy was horse after the game, He is the quarter back and led his team to victory. They won." Jeanni.
Maureen and Steve visit Taylor. His basic training is over. Looks like he has a shooting medal. He has his beret now, proudly worn. His next stop is to Virginia for more training. His last week was "Hell Week". His group gets wakened in the middle of the night for a full pack long run. His parents found his wanting sleep and food, but doing great. Congratulations young man.
These are pictures of his training. Target practice,
Shooting in the field. Move and shoot. All with live ammo.
