A few weeks after Benj returned home from OCS, it was all made official at his pinning ceremony. These are all the candidates he went with to Ft. McClellan. It's awesome that they all passed!
Gabby couldn't resist staying away from Daddy
He was sworn in by Major Cousins where they recite the oath.
Benj gave me the great honor of pinning him. That meant a lot to me, considering Benj was the only one to ask his wife to do so! I got to give it a little punch on there. (But not too hard; how embarrasing would it be to get knocked over by your pregnant wife ;)
Fortunately Benj's Dad was ranked high enough that Benj could give his first salute to him. (The camera was a little late on the picture but a split second before this, they were saluting!)
Love love love Benj's parents! They are so proud!
I suppose I'm proud too ; )
Maybe I can get Benj to post a few experiences he had at OCS but from my perspective, he worked so incredibly hard! The dropout/fail rate is so high so it's a testament to Benj that he did so well! I'm so blessed to have such an incredible provider/husband/father to my children. Love him!
