Chris is 1/3 of the Way Done

On Tuesday June 23, 2009 Chris began his Second Phase of Basic Training. The first phase consisted of several classes including First Aid, Combat Conditioning, Marine Corps History, Swim Classes and qualifications, and much more. He also had classes on Marine Corps Martial Arts Program, tested on Friday, June 19 and he will graduate boot camp with a tan belt in Martial Arts.

The Second Phase of training will include firearms qualification with the rifle and handgun, Land Navigation courses and many more. He is doing well, considering he has had his wisdom teeth removed and an upper respiratory infection.
