Three weeks into Warrant Officer Candidate Training Rich is on his seven day march (March 30-April 5) right now. This is also called the Victory Forge. He asks that you pray for his safety and that he can get through it. Victory Forge is a 7-day field training exercise combining all previously taught basic combat training skills. It is the culmination of basic training. Soldiers are continuously challenged on all the skills learned throughout the nine-week training cycle. Click Here for more information about training phases, Victory Forge & Graduation. A recent letter and postcard from Rich indicates that he is nearing the end of Basic Training and has some great experiences behind him! I had the opportunity to be Rich's third grade teacher as well as his fifth grade teacher. We had some wonderful times together. Looking back, I know now it wasn't always easy for Rich. He always did very well in school, but his abilities really started to shine while attending Maple Grove High School. Rich was following behind the foot steps of his older brother Ryan. Ryan was an outstanding student as well and enjoyed having many friends, tremendous accomplishments and was a tough act for his younger brother to follow. |
