Drill SGT. Westbrook

There will never be the right words to express the pride that I feel for our Country, for our Soldiers, but mostly for my husband. I was so fortunate to be able to go to Ft. Jackson in Columbia, South Carolina this past weekend to watch my amazing husband graduate from Drill Sergeant School. It is quite the site to see the absolute respect that these men show, but mostly demand when you see them standing at attention in formation.

For those like me, there is nothing sexier than a true hero in his uniform! :)

All our friends from Utah that haven't ever really seen Issac even in his uniform, let a lone doing any soldier like duties, can't picture him as a drill sgt. They keep saying that Issac is too nice and has such a sweet face, how could he be mean and yell at anyone. It is almost scary the change that he goes through when he puts his uniform on though. He transforms! He turns into the drill sgt. and is all business! I LOVE IT!

I was so proud of him as I watched him march across the stage and get his hat. Each of the Majors and Generals were also very proud of him and had good things to say. They especially loved his immitation of one of the DSL's that everyone said was just spot on.

This is THE MOST amazing thing to witness. I got chills and teary eyed. This is the Drill Sergeant Creed. The sound just resenated through the whole room. So impressive!

I am so proud of you Issac. Your hard work and dedication pays off once again. Being apart for so long was totally worth it when I saw you put your hat on and take the title of Drill SGT. Those Privates had better all watch out. DS Westbrook is coming to tear you up! I love you babe!
