With the graduation ceremony and the Oath of Commitment complete, we were free to make our way onto the parade grounds to tap Tyler out. It took us some time to fight the crowd out of the bleachers, so Tyler was tired of standing at attention until our arrival, but he was as thankful to see us as we were to see him.

Today was the first day that Tyler had town leave. He was feeling pretty tired, and just wanted to spend the day laying low. We ended up hanging out at the hotel and cooking out, and spending the rest of the day relaxing. Below are some pictures from our cookout...

A quick note... the "affordable" hotels near the base are pretty disgusting. Our originally booked room had a backroom with mold all over it, not to mention a rather disgusting odor. We found the hotel where we stayed, and it was better, but far from what I would call great.
