My brother-in-law, who is really like a true-blood brother to me, was accepted to the Drill Instructor School at Marine Corps depot, San Diego. It's a 12-week course in leadership, professionalism, judgement, time-management, physical fitness, and probably most of all mental fortitude. It's recruit boot camp all over again for this 30-something, but times ten because he'll be mixed-in with a bunch of youngins'... which could prove to be a true test of his mental toughness.
The course finishes a few days shy of Christmas, so if he survives the beat-down Christmas will come early. If not, it could prove mentally ugly :( So we're not even thinking about the "if not" side of this.
I am so stinking proud of him and truly excited for his success!
Go Stevie! We're on your side brother. ;)
The family man, Steve, with his babies <3 SOOOOO cute!

Hi Sara,
I have a friend that just went through that course, they may have been in the same class...
Yup, he will be treated like a recruit except worse! He will have fun though.
