Ben has had a session with his CO and the bottom line is that he wants to stay in and the Corps want to retain him. He was told his probable course for the future and it is what he was looking for. He has a couple more Marines reporting to him for his logistics and network duties. The portion of the squadron not deployed MEU went to Alpeena, MI for some weapons training and got some good hours. Just got a new office with a window. They got a pup, a Great Dane and it's up to 50 pounds in I think three months. I won't tell ALL I know, but will say he is building a very solid foundation for his life and taking full advantage of what the Marine Corps has made possible for him to achieve.
