Brennon’s TACP Poem from Sere
Brennon shared his poem and I just had to write it down. I thought he did an amazing job!
What is wet?
What is cold?
There is a lesson to be told.
Travel all day.
Sleep at night.
Now that I’m under my poncho something ain’t right.
Drop, drop, drop on my head.
Quickest thing that will make you dead.
5 minutes in I start to shiver.
The type that makes your asshole quiver.
I’m not sure if I’m going to die.
This might be my last goodbye.
But then I remember I’m a TACP.
Why worry? I shouldn’t be!
I grab my radio from my ruck.
I grab my nuts and begin to tuck.
I try to decide which bomb.
Something with heat… yup napalm.
As I happily look up the ground is red.
I did my job, some other MFer is dead.

Last Day at BMT Graduation
Started our day at bible study then on to church. It was an amazing service. 66 people dedicated their lives to Christ this week. Wow!
Hung out at the rec center. Great place to hang out. Wish we found it earlier.
Amazing emotional weekend. So proud of Brennon. Sad to be leaving him. Can’t wait to see him soon at tech school graduation.
Relaxing San Antonio Style
This morning I took my parents to the airport at about 6:30 am. We then went and scooped Brennon up from Lackland at 9 am. He didn’t care what we did as long as it was off base lol!
We started things off with a Whataburger lol!
San Antonio River Walk Here We Come!
Let’s just say Brennon was starving lol! I think all the Airmen we ran into were in the same situation. No play in his game when it comes to eating now.
Dorm Inspection
Was so cool finally seeing where Brennon lived for 7 1/2 weeks. I was shocked not to find a pile of clothes in the middle of his room lol!
Grandpa was checking everything out. Lots of things have changed since he went through BMT lol!
Air Force Graduation – Finally lol!
Air Force BMT Coin Ceremony
Exciting time. Getting ready to issue the Airmen’s Coin and then we can tap him out.
Patiently waiting to be tapped out lol!
Airmen’s Run
So excited. The first time we got to see Brennon in 7 1/2 weeks. Denton called me right before it started and told me to grab my sun glasses. Too late. I didn’t think just seeing them run by would be emotional. I was wrong lol!
Here they come wwwAAAAAaaaahhhhHHHoooo! Electricity was in the air for sure.
Air Force Basic Military Graduation – Day Before
Graduation was not until the next day but we arrived early. Like we left Nashville at 8:05 am lol! Got to Lackland plenty early to figure out where we needed to be. I am so glad we did. Knew right were to go for the Airmen’s Run and graduation.
