Three.. Two.. One.. BOOM!!!
USAC celebrated the Fourth of July with a bang with one of the most exciting days here so far at Forest Hill Station! Everyone here, from recruits to cadre, got an experience of a lifetime.
There were grilled hogs, water balloon fights (Instigated by our two 2LTs), slipping slides, bicycle races, delicious snacks, water gun fights, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY; each recruit got to step forward with a microphone along with three battle buddies from their platoon, and perform their best cadre/troop handler impersonations (a Military tradition usually saved for Rifle Qualification day, however we decided to save this event for the 4th of July).
The smiles and laughs on each recruit's face was absolutely priceless, and nothing could of made this day any better!
As time passes by our cadre learn more and more about these unique recruits and their personalities. SSG Torres, SPC Elbakoush, and SPC Quire all stated that they are proud of the men and women they are becoming; they also wish the best for these graduating recruits this weekend. They are very upset that they will not be able to make it to graduation this weekend due to their monthly drill with their National Guard unit.
However, no matter what happens, they want the recruits to always keep your head high, keep moving forward, and follow their dreams; because you never know where life will take you one day in the long run!
