Making Me Proud

 This is exactly where Daniel loves to be - out front and in charge.  That wedgeless kid at the back biting his nails would really get on his nerves.  He's supposed to be obeying Dan, not doing his own thing!

 Daniel was recently bumped up to 2IC (second in command) so he brings up the rear of his flight.
 Daniel was asked to be on the drill team, the show off team for the big wigs.  These are the cadets who know how to march in sync, stand stock still at attention and can follow the marbled directions shouted at them from their drill sargeant without missing a beat.  It was impressive!
 The top senior and junior marksmen got to be part of a mock range demonstration.  Daniel and Andrea got to demonstrate safety procedures and shooting positions.
Lieutenant Pleau sang the praises of this year's range team.  Lynx 99 went from bottom of the barrel to finishing fourth this year in competition.  Daniel was their best shooter, finishing 12th overall.

The model airplane Daniel built and painted for a private competition with another cadet.  His model proved to be the winner.

The photos aren't great but the pride in my heart is.
