TT: Baby Bro Becomes A Man

Transplanted Texan (who attended his brother’s graduation from Marine boot camp in San Diego Friday): I am very proud of baby brother, one of the United States’s newest 600 Marines, and it’s been a great day seeing him. That said, his body is freakishly lean and his face freakishly gaunt, and that may be exactly the incentive I’ve been looking for for three years to lose weight. Like wow.

Question: Do you have a family member or other loved one now serving in the military? Who? Which branch? Where is s/he stationed?
