Yesterday afternoon I dropped Sean off at the recruiter's office. From there he was taken to a hotel where he had dinner and attended a meeting with other recruits. This morning, they were all up at 4:30am and off to Meps to start processing. Last night Sean called to tell me to be at Meps by 9:00am to be ready for his swearing in ceremony. My mom, dad, Logan, and I waited for 2 1/2 hours until they were finally ready for his group. While we were waiting, though, Sean was able to come sit with us for a few minutes a couple different times while he was waiting for papers and things to be processed. Logan tried very hard to entertain himself while we waited.
There were 6 recruits total in Sean's group.
Most of the others seemed pretty passive as they were sworn in. Sean, I know, took his oath to heart, truly believing in the promises he was making. He fully understands that this is more than just a job to support his family. He now stands for something much greater and we are very proud of him for taking this on himself.
