Rabbit and myself have become good friends, we actually met at 30th. We have been together the whole way so far. Another quick update, we are wrapping up week 7. This week was the final RPFT, I passed with flying colors. I am looking forward to the week ahead and taking it one day at a time.

Well after 8 weeks I graduated this Friday. It was one of the greatest moments in my life. I know what lays ahead of me and I feel well prepared. It is an incredible feeling to be able to join the ranks of the finest men in the world. Thank you for all the support and knowledge, I am lucky to be apart of this community.

Did you notice an old dude with a shaved head and a gray beard wearing a t-shirt with all kinds of Hooah shit all over it?
I never wore a cape, but I still have my dog tags.
