Chris "officially" on his way

Today at 12:15 pm, Christopher officially became a United States Marine Corps "Recruit". I met him at the Processing Service Center in Brooklyn, New York where he was sworn-in and departed for the airport.

As you can only imagine, today has been an emotional roller coaster for Andrea and I. As I write this, he is onboard a Delta flight bound for Atlanta, Georgia and ultimately Parris Island, South Carolina, MCRD (Marine Corps Recruit Depot).

He will arrive sometime in the very early mornin g hours of Tuesday, May 19th while it is still dark. This is done deliberatly in order to start the psych process.
