Since there was some positive feedback, I thought I'd share a few pics. You'll notice Patrick has orders that make it so he outranks me by one grade. Its an Honorary title given by the Bn CSM, he is sort of the Bn / Co mascot. He has seen two brothers go through the Infantry Officers Basic Course ( roughly 280 2Lts-1Lts, foriegn officers as well). Spot checks them during weapons maintenance, the little fingers find carbon everywhere. He has shot the M4, M16A2, M24 sniper rifle, M249, M240, Bradley coax MG ( they ran out of 25mm by the time he got up to it). He has 16 jumps from the 34' mock tower used at the US Army Jump School. He is living the life I wished I could have at his age.
