This is how the Squad Combat Course is described:

An important evolution during the summer, the Squad Combat Course involves a race between each of the eight squads in a company. Each squad mans a zodiac inflatable boat and they race for time down the Severn River and back.

So how’d the Wunderchild do? Can’t say that I have results, but I do have pictures…yeah baby!

So I’m guessing this photo was taken on the way to the event. BDU’s (Battle Dress Uniforms for you non-military types)…BDU’s on, game face intact. Marky-Mark is ready for business.

But then something happened on the way to Oz! What…did somebody start singing?

Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily, merrily…what’s with all the laughter?

What’s so funny about the damn oar? I swear…his squad better have won this thing…

Because the party’s over now, baby! Where’s that laughter now, Marky-Mark? Feeling the heat?

Just how heavy is a zodiac anyway? Bet I find out this weekend…

Gotta love this kid, right? We sure do. I’m thinking even Kristin is looking forward to seeing him this weekend. Now that’s saying something…

Plebe Parents’ Weekend is on the way! Traditionally, this marks the end of Plebe Summer. Unfortunately, tradition won’t necessarily prevail this year. The plebes have a few days until the upper classmen “reform” (come back). Plebe Summer training will continue until then.

Then it’s HELL-o night. Upper class gets to say “hello” to all of the new plebes. New rooms, new company mates. All the friends plebes have made over the summer go to their regularly assigned companies. No more letter companies (Mark is currently Company ‘M’) — it’s all by the numbers now. Those in Mark’s platoon (23) will be assigned to 23rd company.

Which brings me to this very important question…

See this?

This, my friends, is the 23rd company seal. The question is…what is a Hellfish?

(I tried looking it up…)

More soon!
