Prayers for my son. This week he embarks on the final test before earning the title of US Marine. The Crucible is the final test recruits face in boot camp. It’s a 54-hour event designed to push them to their physical, mental, and emotional limits.

Length: 54 hours straight, with only about 4–6 hours of sleep total.

Distance: Recruits march over 40 miles with full gear.

Food: Very limited rations (only a few meals).

Challenges: Team-based problem solving, obstacle courses, combat simulations, and endurance events.

Stress: Fatigue, hunger, and pressure are built in to simulate combat stress and test leadership, teamwork, and resilience.

At the end of the Crucible, recruits complete the “Reaper” hike—a long uphill march with heavy packs. Once they finish, they take part in the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor (EGA) ceremony, where they are officially recognized as United States Marines.

Just found out a girl that went to school with me was killed in a wreck this weekend. She just posted last week on FB that her mom had cancer. Sometimes life just isn't fair.

Thanks, folks. Last night was very dark. At lunch yesterday, somebody started talking about "last wishes" and DNR and some conspiracy about doctors bypassing DNRs, and I had just gotten the news about my brother-in-law and I had to make a lot of decisions for my wife (as you already know). All that talk yesterday, then finding Dad's Living Will while looking for mom's just put that on my brain. I hadn't drunk anything, but I'd had my sleep pills and I started questioning some of the decisions I had made. It's difficult to explain, really. I don't feel like I did a good job of just explainin it.
GO VOLS

Again, really, thanks, folks.

Every decision you made was done out of love and devotion. Write that down in case you need to see reality when your mind is trying to tell you something else. 🧡
