Marine Corps Events

On Tuesday night the Battalion Commander change of command took place and Michael was a part of it! He got to stand in front of his Marines with a cool breeze while I sweated under the tent (no air flow and it was miserable). They arranged to have "Retreat" played by the III MEF band at sunset and it was a really neat ceremony. LtGen Zilmer and MajGen Krussa-Dossin were both there to particate in the ceremony as well.
Here is Michael before the ceremony:

Tonight we went to a social to meet the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Conway and SgtMajor of the Marine Corps, SgtMaj Kent. Each gave a little speech and then hung around to talk with the attendees:
