Random Swab Summer Photos

I am very grateful that there is a photographer that has access to the Swab activities when they are outside.  He will post anywhere from 600-1000 pictures on a good day.  Yes.  I've spent more time looking at photos.  In addition to this spattering of pictures, we've received three letters to date.  His last one was from a variety of days.  It sounds hard.  He sounds tired, but still hanging in there.  He said that he has lots of stories - all to complicated and would take too long to write about.  He loves receiving letters.  He appreciates folks taking the time out of their day to write.

Here he is on the waterfront receiving some sort of instruction.
He signed up to sing at mass.  The protestant folks snapped a picture for me.  From his letters, it sounds like he is singing and getting to know the priest who he got a fist pump from during calisthenics one morning!
 Back to the water front and getting wet...

Running his 1.5 mile timed run for his physical fitness evaluation.  I speculated that he was doing just fine from the smirk on his face.  From the letter, we found out he was happy with his overall score.

As part of his "supply" list to report in, he needed tall white tube socks.  They were a bit of a challenge to find.  They end up using the sock as a pocket to hold things.
 Obstacle course...I only saw it from afar and it looked VERY challenging.
 Drill, last Friday...
If I was a betting person, I'd say this was "eyes right"

This is so great that you can see what is going on there! I was afraid you wouldn't hear anything and that would be so difficult, but this can give you some peace of mind. He looks like he's handling everything pretty well. He was really made to do this!
