The Marine Corps Ball





Danny's new battalion celebrated the Marine Corps birthday in Las Vegas. We got to dress up and eat good food-two of my favorite things.

USMC Life

I got to attend an event held for spouses to learn more about the goings-on here at the base. After playing dress up we were trucked out to one of the urban training areas and shown around. The training area was designed by a movie set producer to look just like a typical middle eastern city. It was only a mile or two from "mainside" base, but really did feel like another country.

Oscar meets the relatives


We stopped to see family on our move out to CA. Oscar got to meet some other family dogs-Rosie and Sugar. Once Rosie stopped trying to kill Oscar they had a pretty good time together. And after Oscar scared Sugar so bad that she pooped herself, they had a pretty good time too. Meeting relatives can be so stressful! p.s. Oscar got a summer haircut and really looks like a mut now. Poor dog!
