Earlier this month Scott graduated from a difficult and exhausting six weeks of specialized field training for his squadron. On the day of the graduation, they flew in on a C-130, having finished a week out in the field that left them all dirty, smelly, and exhausted. We (their families) were waiting for them on bleachers that were set up in the hangar.
Getting a pep talk before the actual ceremony began.
After the ceremony, they finally got to greet their families. Yay!
Scott with a good friend of ours from church. Jared completed this same training about six months ago so he especially appreciated what Scott had been through. P.S. That's Bart in the background. We love Bart.
The entire class looking tough. I wouldn't mess with them.
Scott noticed I was zooming in on him and so he flashed me a smile. Joe (next to him) did not.

Congratulations, Scott! I'm very proud of you!
To celebrate finishing the course we headed to the beach for the afternoon...
...where Scott promptly fell asleep and took a very long, well deserved nap. Luckily, no major sunburn ensued.
