"Eyes Right"

Quantico Sentry

July 8, 2010

"Sgt. Benjamin Honaker orders "eyes right" July 1 at the parking lot across the street from the chapel. The Marines from Security Battalion, Military Police Company, practiced close order drill for the Inspector General inspection that took place all last week. Honaker is a sniper team leader for Security Battalion."

Ben is on the far right leading the Marines in drill.

Yep...that's MY man!

After some investigative work by Sarah's Dad we were able to get the original digital photo that was taken by Cpl. Guillermo Vargas! Thanks Dad!

Reinstatment of Rank

Today was a very joyful day for us! Ben was reinstated as a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps.

Olivia enjoyed playing around with Daddy and the other guys in the SRT office...

It didn't take her long to make herself at home :)

This is the formation of Security Battalion that was held for Ben's ceremony. Security Battalion includes...PMO, Brig, K-9, CID, and SRT. Ben is standing in the very back waiting to be called.

This is the front of the formation.
