We have a Ranger in the Family!


CPT Michael Cryer is now Ranger tabbed!  I could not be more proud of him.  This is really a major feat in the Army.  It has often been called the toughest combat course in the Army...  Consists of 3 intense phases of training-- all phases in different environments, all testing different skills totaling in 60 days of stress, no sleep, no food, no privacy, and little shelter from the elements.  It has certainly been challenging for Michael, but I'm proud to say that he made it straight through all of the phases without having to repeat any-- having to repeat phases is VERY common.  Here is his class...


Started with 416 soldiers, here are the 170 Ranger graduates! 

We got a pretty cool demonstration show of what they have been doing all of this time that they've been away!  Did I mention that while Michael was away, we could only write letters (and those were few and far between)!!  I'm so happy to have him just a phone call away again :) 








And the moment he has been waiting for since he was commissioned into the infantry....
Someone is Ranger Tabbed!
A very proud Ranger wife...
And a kiss for the solider...
