I just finished Sergeants Course today. It was a great 7 weeks, if you ask me. I got to do all sorts of fun stuff- drill, run around pretending to be an insurgent, go on patrols looking for pretend insurgents, eat MREs, learn about medevacs and calling for artillery support, etc. It was great. I'm actually a little disappointed that I have to go back to my normal job next week. At least my Lt. said I can have Monday and Tuesday off since I was the honor grad. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me. They give me a nice new shiny sword to add to my collection and a 4 day weekend! In the pictures, you see SgtMaj Vines giving me my sword. 
He is one hardcore Marine. In one of the other pictures I am with Yogurl, who you all hopefully recognize. 
The last one I am with Sgt Cochran, who was the #2 graduate. I beat him by .03%. He had a big advantage over me on a lot of the infantry-type classes seeing as how he is a scout sniper. I felt kinda bad beating a real deal warrior, but oh well. He shoulda learned how to march better. Seriously, though, he was a super cool guy and nothing like what you would expect a sniper to be.Anyway, that's it for now.

Wow, I would have to say that the best part of the Segeant Course is that it turns you into a killer android/zombie judging by Patrick in this first picture. Good work terminator!
If you enlarge the picture, you'll see that there is a whole crowd of hungry ghouls behind me, too.
