After the Moto-Run is a portion of the day that is much like torture for the families. You have had a quick glimpse of your new Marine but we are going to make you wait six more hours until you can spend time with them. Right before they send you off for quite a few hours they march the Marines in front of you as they line up for graduation practice. It was at this point we caught our first glimpse of Jake. This resulted in copious tears and screams from the women in our family. We saw Jake a few minutes before he realized we were there doing our best to get his attention. I am sure if we were the only ones yelling and screaming at our Marine Jake would have noticed us quite a bit earlier, however there were about 100 other families doing the same. Soon after Jake noticed us the DI gave the order of "Left" at this point they all turned and looked at the families. I caught some great pictures of Jake laughing. I would like to say that he was smiling at the sheer excitement of seven family members standing close by but I suspect the crass comments from the DI were really the culprit.
Picture #1 Jake is smiling just a bit, he has just realized we are there.
Picture #2 Maury so very excited to see her boy.
Picture #3 These are the smiles that the DI got for his comments.
Preview of #3 Coffee, Slobber, and Danish.
