No photos today (sorry).  The weekend is almost upon us.  Hopefully a parent or two will be on the Yard snapping some pix.

There were several new pictures on the Tornton’s site this morning.  Squad photos have been posted.  There were shots of Mark and another plebe or two laughing it up.  And there were shots from their weapons training day…none with Mark in action, but the three shots posted all showed him with a huge smile.  He must like guns.

In fact, all of the Thornton photos posted today are shots of Mark and his “Big Smile”.  When it comes to family events. the Big Smile usually means he’s trying to look good enough to get the picture taking session over with.  I wonder if that was the case in these shots?

Maybe a Detailer told him to “look happy” or be miserable.  Who knows?  All I know is that he’s either trying really, really hard to look “happy” or he’s actually thrilled to be doing what he’s doing.  I’m talking silly-thrilled.

It’s probably the latter…
