Josh completed 90 days of Chaplain Basic Officer Leadership Training this summer at Fort Jackson. It was a long summer, but he did so great! I was honored to be able to attend the Chaplain's banquet with him during his last week of training.
Josh was in his element! I had such a great time meeting his new friends, hearing about his summer training and seeing more military traditions. We had a wonderful meal with classmates and enjoyed skits preformed by each platoon.
Josh obviously made a name for himself during his training. Everyone I met told me stories about how Josh "saved" the class multiple times by giving an answer to the teachers before the class would be punished for not doing the assignments. One of the other platoons included him in their jokes, saying Josh must have made up about 50 words in his speech to the Ethics professor. It is clear that Josh had the respect of his classmates as well as the leadership. 
Words cannot describe how proud I was of him that night. Josh's dreams are coming true. He was so comfortable with the military customs and he looked so refined in his suit. I am so glad I was able to go with him!
