Leonidas is the newest man with the hat. Leonidas is an invaluable addition to the instructor team, bringing as much passion for Appleseed as anyone. Leonidas was offered the Orange hat just a few months ago. In that short time he has worked a lot of shoots all over Southern California to earn his red hat at break neck speed. He has also done a libraryseed or two to boot. Welcome to Club Re Hat.
Yep!! He surely did!! O0 ^:)^ ..:.. :))
Found a neat way to make a Marine giggle like Elmo tho'....perhaps Jeff may find this spot & post the picture..... **) **) %) :cool2: ;D
He has done a surprising amount of historical research & learning to be able to fluently converse in the facts of "the Day".....
Fun seeing this next wave of instructors coming up.....I like the fact we haven't "used up all the good ones"!!
Leonidas, congrats!! It was fun having you come out when talking about the program a bit to our little group on Sunday....and you are more than welcome to return to the IE any time.....
We've got this one old kinda grumpy Marine that likes "new faces"....... **) **) **) :))

Well done!!! O0
Leonidas is the only guy to score '300' while shooting an AQT... he's California's 300th Rifleman!
Well done, Joseph. You're all set to improve and educate your fellow Americans. Thank you.
Thank you everyone, I would like to say that when a person accomplishes a task he does not only represent his own labor and talents, but reflects the talent and labor of his teachers. I appreciate the hard work that has been put forth by Chris, Steve, Justin, Francis, Ain, Mark, Cameron, Peter, Bob, Dan, Jackie, Cameron, Michael, and every other instructor I have had the pleasure to work with. Without your expert tutelage I would not be an instructor nor would I be the Patriot I am today. I really feel as if we are a not only a team, but a family. Thank you.. ;) Everyone keep up the good work and I'll see you on the trail. I submit to you evidence that laylopro is keeping up the Navy tradition of close contact with handsome men (See Pics below)

Laylopro is on the left, and the devastatingly handsome guy on the right is me.

Tickle him like Elmo!! :cool2: ;D ;D ;D :))
He looks much less intimidating when he's laughing like a young lad.......more like a young Spartan lad, in fact....... ^:)^ **) **) **) %) O0 :))
Things the military taught us.......... :sos: @) ++) ..:.. ;D
