Looks like we got a soldier on her way to graduation! Congratulations to our daughter Tiffany Morris on her completion of the Forge and a big congratulations to all her buddies too! The last big test is The Forge, where all their knowledge and training comes together, during a 4 day ruck, 4 days in the wild with nothing but what's on their backs and the food supplied by staff or MRE's. Nearly 40 miles of hiking, navigating, live fire, night exercises, and a ton more, with very little sleep, and all of it is being observed by scorers, to make sure you are doing what you were trained to do correctly, you can pass, or fail.

Our kid passed! And with the pass, she acquired her Army beret, and Army patch for her left shoulder!

Graduation ceremonies are soon, and we'll be there. We are so proud of our little girl, ahem!, our soldier!

On a side note, Tiffany was injured during her second phase of Basic Combat Training, she fractured her pelvic, she was recycled to another company to finish, but before that she came home over Christmas and recovered her fracture as much as she could, she has been in immense pain since the fracture, and she has completed all of this training, with her fracture, the last two week she stated the pain has gotten better, but still in a lot of pain, and the rascal humped it all the way through training and through The Forge, with her fracture, now if that aint hardcore soldiering, I don't know what is! She did a total of 3 months basic because of her injury.

My chest out, buttons popping, and when mama hear the news, tears flowed from her. Thanks all for reading.

Our girl has red arrow on her.

I don’t have the words.....Congratulations to you all.

CONGRATULATIONS TIFFANY!!! And to mom and dad, too! 

Congratulations!

Congrats to our newest soldier and the proud parents.

Thank you guys! Appreciate the kind words.

We are so excited for her, this is a very important milestone in her life, with a whole lot of meaning in her own life, this is really cool.

When we saw her over the Holidays, she had a really special glow about her. This is one of those moments when a parent feels like they are the only parents on earth. Thanks again guys!

I know you told us but, memory fades. Where is she headed next. Language school?

Wow! Sometimes I wonder what is happening to our young people. Then comes along someone like Tiffany. Make me proud again of our dedicated young people. Especially a lady. Congratulations Tiff and the Morris family.

Welcome to the club! Alot of people talk about joining, yet only a few actually complete the journey.  You earned the privilege, something nobody can ever take from you.

48+ years for me.  Never in such good shape!  Great to see a teenager become an adult.
