MY BABY BROTHER IS OFFICIALLY A MARINE!!

News came in from Parris Island this morning, he has passed the Crucible!

We leave to see him graduate boot in about 2 weeks.

Those poor kids have been awake, active and harassed for 54 hours straight at this point. They get steak and eggs for breakfast then they have a REGULAR GODDAMN DAY OF TRAINING AFTER.

I'm a lil nervous to see what the Marines did to my brother. The few pictures we have seen have depicted a lean, mean, steely eyed killing machine and I'm not sure if I'm ready to see my former jellyroll of a baby brother as a warrior just yet. Before he left for boot I was already surprised to see him leaned out to the point of having intense arm veins and noticeably raised traps.

Oohrah!
