Training for the Corps
We went to the Marine Corps museum today and it was so awesome! We have been meaning to go for some time, but never managed to get there. Today, I am sorry that we didn't get ther before. The whole thing was so well put together and there was so much attention to detail. From the yellow footprints and showing what recruits go through and then into the history of the Corps from its inception to today. They even had a section of art. Most of it was painted by active duty Marines from all ranks and it was impressive.
In the recruit section there was a place where you can try to lift a pack and do a pull up. You can even shoot an M-16 on the range (it is laser but still cool).
Anyway, we decided to see if the Little Bean could do a Marine Corps pull-up. She was successful with a littl help from the Daddy. I think she is on the right track to join up. We just have to wait 17 more years. :)
I like how she is holding on to the bar as though she is actually pulling herself up. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteThey say that in the Marine Corps,
ReplyDeletethe Bean is mighty fine,
Tell her to do a pull-up,
and she does ninety-nine.

But wishes she could do,
his PT test.
