Ask me how proud am I ......

and I would have a hard time putting it in to words. So a couple pics will have to do.
Shelby's ROTC class is having it's annual "Military Ball". The men are required to wear full dress uniforms and the ladies dress in appropriate attire.
I couldn't be prouder.



And now, if you'll excuse me I have to go clean my gun.

And I just found out she recieved a citation for "Outstanding Cadet" and a ribbon indicating her inclusion in the "Reserve Officer Association".

Zack is a handsome young man, And yes the whole program has turned out to be a very positive experience for Shelby. She's already talking about next year.

Congrats, Kevin.

So that's why you never brought her around the shop...

Very cool, Kevin, and you can tell her beauty is more than skin deep. Thank you so much for sharing your deserved joy.

My son is about to finish his freshman year at VMI, the "Rat" year, as Army ROTC. They are called Rats until they "breakout", which is generally around February/March. The six months or more as a Rat are very, very difficult.

Here is a video of his classes breakout:
