Well ladies and gentlemen, today is the day that our guys travel back to CP for the last chapter of their 13 week journey!!!~ Tomorrow is the Confidence/Gas Chamber and Tuesday is the start of their 54 hours of The Crucible. They are so close to entering into the elite brotherhood of The Few, The Proud, THE MARINES!!!!!~ My thoughts and prayers go out to each and everyone of these young men as they encounter one of the their most trying experiences to date!!!!~ The next 4 days are going to test their patience, their heart, their minds, their bodies and each other more than they have ever been tested in their lives!!!~ The fact that they are going to have to rely on one another, work together and do all of this on little no sleep and with very little food is going to be a challenge......but one that I KNOW they can overcome and conquer!!!!~ All of our guys walked on those yellow foot prints "boys" and will come down that mountain "MEN"!!!!~ May they all have the confidence in themselves, the belief that they CAN, and the WILL to get it done!!!!~
2nd. Bn. Hotel Co. Plt. 2166 YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!~ You have learned to work together as a WHOLE, as a UNIT as a BROTHERHOOD........Lean on each other now more than ever, and you will ALL PREVAIL!!!!!!!!!~ GOOD LUCK TO YOU PLT. 2166 & Plt.2161..............
Until we meet again~ Oorraahh Plt. 2166 & 2161~

Well put Apryl!!  It definitely has to be team work out there, morally lift each brother up to keep going...something I pray they do everyday. May the Lord give them all strength and a focused mind, so they can get through these challenging 3 days. Lot and lots of prayers going to our guys tonight. Good luck and God Bless!!!

It makes my stomach hurt thinking about everything they have to go through but it also makes me so proud to, as of thursday, be able to call him my Marine! I am going to worry and pray for Hotel Co so much throughout the next few days! I hope they make it through with a sense of pride and know as they get their eagle, globe and anchor that everything they have done throughout the last 13 weeks has been worth it. Go Plt 2166 and 2161!! So proud of our men!!!!

.........And here we go!!!!!!!!!
